[Opinions] Re: Hannah or Madeline?
in reply to a message by Pie
I read a piece by Leslie Dunkling once, where he was talking about the effects that various names could have on people. One example, which he admitted was an invention, was a man who was going on a blind date with someone he thought was a Madeleine, and he stood on the street corner, dreaming about her beauty, until to his horror he saw a Mad Lynn coming towards him, and he fled.If you ever visit South Africa, you'd better bring earplugs. Here, it's typically pronounced (by Afrikaans speakers, OK, but they're the ones who typically use it) mah-duh-LANE.
