Help[Opinions] Re: Thanks for that
in reply to a message by Lillian
Well, Mojave looks hard to pronunce, then, and that's good enough for me. ;) Oh, well. The second set can be Kalahari and Gobi or something.
I'm absolutely ridiculous when it comes to spelling changes. I find Eleanor boring and Elinor almost horrific, but I love Elenor and Elenore. Claire seems snotty, but Clare's independent and classy. Connor's trendy, Conor's Oberst. :D And Edmund's a bit poncy and too Narnia (much as I love The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe), but Edmond? Totally hot. And not just because they use The Count of Monte Cristo in V for Vendetta. (...Okay, exactly because of that. But c'mon, Edmond!)
The only thing about Eddo that I dislike is the combo itself. ^^;;; With such a cool nickname, he needs something a bit snazzier than Edward Oliver, especially when sitting next to something as flashy as Verity Arabella. Edgar and Verity feel better to me (or perhaps I just love Edgar far too much), personally, or Edmond and Verity.
...Oh, and it strikes me that Lorelei Leilani sounds like she could be good friends with Roseanne Roseannadanna. I like Lorelei Leilani's repetition, even if I don't actually like Lorelei.

Mick Jagger is older than:
1. Velcro
2. Cake mix
3. Israel
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Gobi? Not! *LOL*
It's reminding me of Goober!
I like Edmund and Edmond, but never Edgar. And I don't care much for any spelling of Eleanor.
Edward Oliver and Verity Arabella were generated from one of Bex's short lists of choices a few days ago. Y'know, she's been posting lists of 15 or so male and female choices and asking us to pick just from those. Edward and Oliver were the only two I really liked from that list, and in order to maximize their impact I created Eddo on the spot. Glad you like it.
As for Roseanne Roseannadanna... Probably no one's even noticed that I didn't, I suppose lots of other people didn't jump on that bandwagon either, but I specifically did not invite list-bashing as so many have lately, because I love my choices too much to submit them to such harsh punishment. And you, my dear, are one of the very main ones I know could cheerfully and wittily shred my beloved names! *mock sob* I was specifically avoiding your razor sharp commentary! *LOL*
