HelpRe: Half Awake Name Thought
in reply to a message by Howie
I actually really like it! Though of course I know next to nothing about Alabama and the word/name itself is pure romanticized stereotype for me, I kind of enjoy that about it. The combo does have a nice rhythm to it, and I could totally see said character's grandpa or dad always calling her "Alabama Josy Lucifeen" in an affectionate, dad-joke kind of way that makes you roll your eyes but also smile and get all teary about after he's dead.
The other day at a cafeteria I thought the cashier woman was named Alabama (which would be VERY unusual for Canada) but it turns out I just can't read real good and her name tag said Alanna, and I was sad.

Alabama Josy Luicifeen is so perfect. New_Chloe definitely has the right idea and feel for the kind of novel I imagined. I have no intent to write it though, so New_Chloe, I hereby grant you the rights to Alabama Lucy Josephine for FREE (Unless you make millions off of it, in which case, I demand a cut.) ;)
Also, Howie is a she. ;) It's short for another internet handle I use that begins with the word "how." I'm not fond of my real name, and it doesn't really resonate with me, so I decided to use Howie on the board. I know, it's confusing.

Oops! Pardon me! I'm a she too, with a "handle" which doesn't necessarily convey that. I ought to have he/she-ed. :)

No worries. :) I'm not active in the Lounge, and though I check this site multiple times a day, I don't actually post all that much, so I don't expect everyone to remember/know I'm female. It's happened before, and it will probably happen again.
