Re: Larkin vs. Lestat
in reply to a message by hope23
If I really had to, it would be Larkin.
Lestat is too 'Anne Rice' and surnamey. I know it's supposed to be a first name, but as a French girl I can tell you that I've never even heard of such a name, not even as surname!
Anne Rice made little mistakes with the French names, I suppose Lestat is another one :)
At the time of the story people could get rather creative with their kids' names, but not the aristocrats, and the creative names were for girls and not based on surnames...
So if I had to chose one of your combos: Larkin Gerard.
