Help[Opinions] Re: is it because of Hints from Heloise
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I just googled who Heloise is and why she wants to give me hints ;)
Is she the new Martha Stewart? :/
Uhm, my reason is much more... shallow: I love the accent marks and I love the French pronunciation of Héloïse. So I probably should have said "I'd only use it in a French-speaking area". *turns as red as a beetroot*

Nooo Hints From Heloise was like the Martha Stewart of my mother's generation (and earlier!) - it was a 1950's women's column. My mom used to talk about it a lot, so maybe I'm more preoccupied with it than I need to be!
aw don't be embarrassed. I feel that way about a lot of names too. I'm sure if I ever heard a French person say the name Héloïse I'd prefer it too!

Ah! Ok! Thanks! It's just that I found a site saying something like Heloise and her hints were going to Fox Morning News or something, so I assumed she was the new national domestic goddess. ;-)
Actually, I'd like to see one of those 1950's columns, that might be interesting.
Oh, for some reason I always thought you lived someplace near a French-speaking area.
A friend of mine is called Héloïse, so I must admit I "can't" imagine another pronunciation anymore.
