Help[Opinions] Re: Alucard. [edited]
in reply to a message by Lucille
Well, my opinion isn't objective ;-) but it looks French to me, and I'd guess it's pronounced ah-loo-CARD in English.
The sound is pleasant. The only thing I guess it reminds me of enough to give it any particular character is the word "aluminum." It also appears quite surname-y (probably because it's unfamiliar, as well as the familiarity of French surnames ending in -ard), which makes it a more aloof sounding name to me. Edited to add: Hey -- aloof has a similar sound too. So I guess my first raw impression is, it's aloof and silvery.
I'm thinking he'd be called Al.
