[Opinions] Re: Arnold and Sylvia
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Sylvia is kind of pretty.
Arnold, on the other hand, is not. It's not even charming in an old-man way the way a name like Donald might be.
Arnold and Sylvia don't make a darling sibset to my ear; they make a nice old couple in an RV park in Florida, on time for the Early Bird Special.

I've no idea what any of that means. I'm not particularly surprised you dislike the names, though, but ne'er mind.
She means they sound like the kind of old people in the US who buy an RV and drive around country after they're retired. I don't know if people do that much in UK, or what an RV would be called there. A caravan?

Ah, right. I don't know if a lot of people do that, specifically, but a lot of people definitely have caravans :P It just dawned on me what "Early Bird Special" means, too -- you'll both have to excuse me, I'm running on little sleep and not nearly enough coffee and tea.
You're forgiven. ;)
