LOL. How weird is that? Now here's a useless fact-every man I've ever been interested in has had a K in his name. Weird, but true, so the hardwiring part may have some merit.<BR/><BR/>Dani<BR/>http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.comDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527790096547842654.post-883975041664521042008-09-14T10:09:00.000-07:002008-09-14T10:09:00.000-07:00You're right LJ.

Just saying it, as in a character name, gives you a certain feeling about the character (whether you're aware of it or not). Other sounds affect us too. Look at the word "love." The l and the v are smooth, almost making you want to elongate the sounds. And the "o" is a short vowel, really an "uh" sound. <BR/><BR/>Even saying that, if you've had an experience, good or bad, with a Jake or a Lovie, your impressions of them may affect your attitude toward a character with that name more than anything else.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you brought up the K and the X sound. I'd never really thought about it.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.com
