Help[Opinions] Re: wdyt of Reinette?
in reply to a message by Kathryn
The meaning of "queen" is pretty close! I'd say it means "little queen" because of the diminutive suffix "ette". It was also the nickname of Madame Pompadour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_de_Pompadour, who was a kind of "queen", being the powerful mistress of Louis XV :)
I think it's adorable and fruity-pink kitschy in the delicious way only French names can be. I'd say it "ray-NET" myself. Maybe someone French can clue us in on the proper pronunciation?
I'd say it's certainly useable.
