Re: Percival & Lancelot
in reply to a message by Canielle
Bernard
Harry
Fiona
I'd prefer Francis, nn Frank if unavoidable, or Richard rather than Dicky, to Harry but I don't like two sibs with matching initials or rhyming endings. My source is Len Deighton: the Game, Set, Match, Hook, Line, Sinker and Faith, Hope, Charity trilogies.
ETA Percival is a family name but not even that can make me warm up to it. Lancelot is ambitious but Lance is stale and dated. Elaine is probably my least favourite form of Helen. Not a sibset I'd endorse, therefore.
