(QUOTE ITG)Ella Noir...in Spanish wouldn't that be like saying "black she"? I'd ask my husband but he isn't home right now. (QUOTE ITG)

Noir is closer to French, Negra would be Spanish, and yeah that's exactly what it would translate aslol It's cute, but I like the sounds of Bella DeVille a bit better. Although any of your choices will be lovely for you, have fun up on stage!

There's this name generator where you type in your real name and you get a cool 1930s/1940s name. I don't remember what the name generator was called. I've been searching for it for the past 40 minutes (cuz i'd like to go on it again too).

I remember I didn't like the outcome when I typed in my first name or last name so I used different parts of my whole name. I came up with Ophelia Tilly. It was pretty cool. There was even an avatar that came with it of a girl who looked like she worked for some kind of 1930s organized crime gang.

Hopefully I can find that name generator. I think it was on someone's myspace. haha

 

[Fletch]

I make up my own 30s/40s names. Fess Braithwaite (a playboy aviator-publisher), Helen Jeffereys and Skip Jamison (radio personalities), Raymond Hannett and Arline Shandling (writers), Hal Witty (an airline pilot), Vivian Sessions and Theresa Sledziski (spunky career girls), Ulysses Brentano (an architect), Steve Lorand (a Hungarian night club owner), Henry Weidenbach (a wealthy brewer), Bob Worsley and Ernie DuMars (musicians), Lyssa Rhodes (a high-class madam), Alice d'Accorsi Flynn (an Irish-Italian baroness), Count Karl Hausperger (a penniless Austrian nobleman working as a chauffeur), Sonny D'Aliberti (a music salesman), Marguerite Deyo (an aging actress), and Bunk Overturff (an engineer) are all characters in short stories I've written (and mostly not completed :eusa_doh: ).

 

[katiemakeup]

Maybe something that reflects your personality?

 

[TOTTIE]

Fletch I love those names! Can you come up with a surname to go with Tottie (for a wealthy young lady)?

Yeah, I realized that "noir" thing shortly after I posted but had already logged out and was getting ready for bed. too tired and lazy to go back and fix. (The hubby speaks both French and Spanish.)

It is really easy to get them confused, I do it alllllll the time, my Spanish Oral exam this term, I started speaking in Frenchlol

Tottie, if you don't mind my two cents on the surname, I'd imagine Radcliff, or Wetherington. They just kinda stick out for me when I think young and well off, that and Rockefeller

But I definitely agree with Tottie, Fletch, you have some pretty creative names going there!

 

[Fletch]

Tottie...Tottie Tottie Tottie...hmmm...
Tottie Murchfield? Tottie Van der Veer? Tottie Willoughby? Tottie Farquharson?

Yeah, when I try to come up with Spanish words, my brain recalls the German word instead. The funny thing is I teach an exploratory foreign language class where we skim over 6 languages, so it's easy to get some words mixed up.

 

[TOTTIE]

...Tottie Willoughby? ....

Hey, that is really weird -- that was my actual family's surname in the 1930s (they had if hyphenated with something else, and they all changed it later on) -- and that is the family I've so far portrayed. Well, perhaps I should stick with that then!

 

[catsmeow]

Hello everyone! I'm going to be doing some pin-up modeling and I may be joining a burlesque show. I'm having trouble thinking of a name for myself. Help!!!

What about "Schatz"(sweetheart in german)!!?

 

[Fletch]

Well, there you go then!

As a Willoughby, did you perhaps notice Weidenbach in my first list of names? It's German for Willoughby (willow brook, literally). I got it from an aide to Gen. MacArthur who was born Weidenbach and changed to Willoughby.
Gen. Willoughby was also my physical model for Fess Braithwaite, whom I made a Navy pilot.

 

[LadyDeWinter]

Willoughby sounds good, better than ther German Weidenbach.

 

[Fletch]

Wide-in-back does lack a certain elegance in English...

 

[LadyDeWinter]

You are right Fletch, Willoughby sounds more smooth to me.
