ArchivesCalling Resident Greek, Pavlos...
in reply to a message by Oscar
"Toula" is the nickname of Fotoula Portokalos, the protagonist of the brilliant movie: "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".
I believe that somewhere in the movie there's a bit where Toula explains to either her boyfriend or his parents what the name "Fotoula" means, but I don't remember.
Pavlos...? Can you help out here? :)
(Heheh... Toula's brother reminds me a little bit of Pavlos. Especially in the scene where Toula's naive, English-speaking boyfriend asks Toula's brother how to say "thank you" in Greek so that he can impress his future Greek mother-in-law -- and Toula's eeeeevil brother gives the poor boyfriend a Greek phrase which actually means: "Hey, nice breasts!")
