Well, almost. To properly fit in the meter it would have to be three syllables with stress on the first syllable (and last, but that will mostly take care of itself). So Ezio works, but none of the others fit when spoken 'naturally'. Jethro could if you say "Jeth(er)o". Alonzo would if you say it like "Elon-zo".
- rhythmvs 10y agoI guess we should take a better look at something like http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/Poem/ http://www.pangloss.com/seidel/Poem/ or http://rhymeless.hamiltonulmer.com http://rhymeless.hamiltonulmer.com and implement some rhyming name generator to add to our app :-) Just kidding, of course. But that’s why I love HN so much: you show ’em something and they start brainstorming on a side track of intellectual creativity. Thank you so much, guys, for all the hearty feedback on our app!
- cableshaft 10y agoEh, I guess I'm more tolerant of not making it syllable-count perfect. I mentally tested them and all of those sounded fine to me, with some minor bastardization of the pronunciation (instead of Jethero, for example, I put a tiny pause half-beat in it).
