Re: Peter and August
in reply to a message by Haven
Yes, I do think of the word and I think I've mentioned that here before...August Jones sounds like Reverend Jones. The August Jones, rather that the normal one. It's a lot to live up to.
Although that could just be on paper- out loud, I would probably pronounce the name like the month (OG-ust) rather than the adjective (uh-GUST). That's not pronounciation, it's emphasis, and they're darn close. I think I'm obsessing now- sorry!
With that history I'd probably stay away from Peter. Petra, Petronel I like!
