No way ! That is hysterical


Shouldn't the other girl have been Beatrice if they were going full Frenchy on the Genevieve? Beatrix makes me think of Beatrix Potter.

If they pronounced it Stin-gin, they were mispronouncing it. It's Sin-jin.

Also, are you sure it wasn't Phyllida?


PP here. You've correct, it's pronounced Sin Jin.

But they do spell it Philada. Father is a literature professor

The most pretentious person I've ever met had a very ordinary name. In fact, so ordinary that I've forgotten what it was.
