and indeed...
...that same quote may be where I first became so prejudiced *grin*.
"Oh, it makes such a difference. It looks so much nicer. When you hear a name pronounced can't you always see it in your mind, just as if it was printed out? I can; and A-n-n looks dreadful, but A-n-n-e looks so much more distinguished. If only you'll call me Anne spelled with an e I shall try to reconcile myself to not being called Cordelia."
Good thing, too. Anne is infinitely more refined than Cordelia.
