Help[Opinions] Re: Harlequin
in reply to a message by Sara
Most of them are pretty apt. I would say that Belle is not tomy mind a good bodice-ripper name. It sounds a bit too low-class, like a servant or a peasant or an old madam.
However, a French duke named Lance? I don't think so! What would a French aristocrat be doing with a seventies American surfer boy name? He'be be Laurence, maybe, but not Lance. *rolls eyes*

Lance
can come from Lancelot, which is supposedly Old French. It's entirely within reason.

Belle seems off to me, too, but more because the name reminds me of Disney's Belle in Beauty and the Beast than anything else. Pretty decidedly not bodice-ripper IMO.

I'll give you for instance-
his Father is a French duke, his Mother is an American. She wanted to name him Lance, and the dad, loving her as he did, agreed.
See? I can do that, but I can't write Harlequins.
