HelpMisirlou
Yes, like the song. It apparently means "Egyptian lady". Could this be a name? I love the way it looks, there's something enchanting about it. What do you think?

I haven't heard of the song. It doesn't work for me at all. It reminds me of "misery" and people will mishear it as Missy-Lou.

Love it.

Wow, I’ve never seen it before. I like how it looks.
Since Egypt is called "Miṣr" in Arabic, I could see how Misirlou could mean "Egyptian lady".

I wonder if it really does mean Egyptian lady.
It looks too much like miserable and miserly, or even "mi sirloin."

Yeah, that "Misir" part is what gives me pause, with the similarity to miser and misery. It's a good name for a fictional witch, maybe.
