Help[Opinions] Re: Missouri
in reply to a message by Siân
There's a character in some Damon Runyon short stories called, and always referred to as, Miss Missouri Martin, though one of the men sometimes calls her Missou, which I suppose sounds like MiZOO. So to me anyway it's not just female but Roaring Twenties-Great- Depression-Prohibition-Charleston!
I don't think it'd work too well on most boys. There's always someone who could get away with just about anything (think A Boy Named Sue), but the combination of Miss at the start and an -i ending is going to look fem to most folks.
