At work today I rang up a girl named English.
She looked to be around 17-19 years old.
I found it really interesting.

Comments? Opinions?

Interesting. I'd have to call her Engrish for fun, though.

Hmm interesting
I am English myself, in the nationality sense, so find it a bit hard to see that as someone's name.

I guess America is a name..why not English!

The country aside...I don't particularly like the way it sounds as a name though.

I think it would be really funny if she didn't speak English. Or if she was actually Irish or something.



That said, I'm not a fan of using the word as a name at all.

I'm kind of iffy about place names (thought I don't completely mind them) but this is kind of weird.
I don't like it.

haha I kind of like it, and that makes me embarrassed. I'm not sure why I even like it!

I like the sound of it, but because it's a word (a language!), I would never use it as a name.

Actually I have met two Englishes! And more than a few Britains, which I also find weird! I can't decide if I like or not, but I am leaning towards no. It just seems....odd to me. :)
