I wish I had a bear called
Carmen. I have a giant penguin called
Percival and twin bears called
Bertram and
Bert, but if I had been a more inventive namer as a child, I would totally have named one of my stuffed toys
Carmen.
I do admit that
Carmen Apollonia gets the jaw muscles working. I like it. It's probably too much effort to say.
Carmen Apolline flows off the tongue better and has the same vibe, so it's something to contemplate.
And damn... I thought caramel apples were the same as toffee apples until I wiki-ed it... I had Wikipedia up, don't judge me. I am really bad about toffee apples. I inhale them at Hallowe'en season. Slightly disillusioned about them not being the same thing, but I'm telling myself they almost are. It's odd, but I kind of like the association there :P
