Help[Games] Re: A Short You Say, You Think
in reply to a message by Array
This is my daughter, Evening Veronica. We call her Evey for short.
You Say: how cute! I love Evey!
You Think: Evening is actually quite nice, it's good it has a nn though. I don't care much for Veronica.
These are our twins, Morpheus Ray and Miri Cornelia.
You Say: They're adorable!
You Think: Morpheus Ray sounds nice, the Morph part does remind me a bit of power rangers :S, I wonder what they'll call him in every day life. Miri doesn't sound like a name, Cornelia sounds old fashioned.
This is my son, Artemus Robert LaFollette. We call him Artie.
You Say: Hey Artie
You Think: Artemus is refreshing, it takes some getting used to, but it isn't bad. Robert sounds like a filler and it's a bit boring. I hope LaFollette is a LN, it reminds me of the spanish Folleto (which means leaflet/booklet), it's nms.

I don't like to offer explanations on these, but I feel like I should in this case. Robert and LaFollette go together. :) In honour of Robert La Follette, Sr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._La_Follette%2C_Sr.

I need the smell of summer--
I need its noises in my ears.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

thanks for explaning
it does offer a different view on the name. In that case it's a lot better! I guess people will the US are likely to make the connection, right? Forgive my European ignorance ;)

No, you're not ignorant in the slightest. :) Outside of Wisconsin, the reference probably won't be caught--and even in Wisconsin, with the state of public education being what it is...well, let's just say I'm in the minority in knowing the heroes of my state, lol.
