Help[Opinions] Re: Gilda
in reply to a message by Capucine
Retro-chic for sure. I will forever associate Gilda with Ms Radner. What a sweetheart she was. The Rita-Hayworth-as-vixen character never really made a dent in my brain one way or the other. So I have nothing but good thoughts when it comes to Gilda.
I love Beryl. I thought I was the only one. I was worried when I met a Beryl from New York (Bronx) who pronounced her name as "burl," one syllable. Huh? It rhymes with Cheryl, right? Apparently not in the Bronx. But I still love the name Beryl. I don't think anyone outside of New York would pronounce it that way.
Gilda and Beryl make a fantastic WWII era duo. Absolutely they can be sisters. Gilda Marion and Beryl Astrid, perhaps?

YAY! I love the idea of a WWII era duo.
Gilda Marion is fanstatic. Glamourous ;-)
But "burl"? Oh no! It never occured to me, not even once, that someone could try a one syllable pronunciation. To me, it always rhymed with Cheryl. Hum.
I was never too fond of Astrid but I rather like the combination of Beryl and Astrid. Cool ;-)
Thanks!
