[Opinions] Re: question about Mazarine and Segolene
in reply to a message by thetxbelle
I wouldn't see a problem in using Mazarine and Ségolène, def usable imo, even for a right wing person haha. And we now know for a fact that Ségolène Royal is not going to govern France these 5 next years. :) Mazarine makes me think of Mitterrand's daughter indeed (and Cardinal Mazarin) because it is unusal, but I can go past it. And there are worse associations. I don't think people abroad would make a connection.
I feel the same way about all the Lilou/Lili/Lala etc... it's just terrible. Names like Maëlys belong to this trend, I think it's better already but not my cup of tea anymore.

I dont know much about French politics but Im a big fan of the actor Lambert Wilson (not his US films though lol) and I remember seeing pics of him at some event for Segolene Royal (I think he spoke at it?) and being a little disappointed for some reason lol.
Im not a fan of Maëlys and I cant stand Eulalie because I dont think it can ever sound grown up even though it looks pretty. Now I'm hearing Eulalie is "yoo lah lee" or "yoo lay lee" so maybe I'm wrong or it's open to interpretation? I know one who says "ooh lah lee" so thats how I say it.
