Godfather

Hey I just finished watching all three Godfathers for the first time and I took a liking to a name I heard in the first one- Apollonia, who in the movie is the first wife of Pacino's character Michael Corleone.

I find it a beautiful name.

How is it pronounced?

I'm saying Apple Oh Neeah in my head and I like it.

That is the way it is pronounced yes- I agree it is very likeable :)

It makes me think of the comatose psychic on Carnivale...it's an awesome name.

This is just the "Mystery Science Theater 3000" geek in me speaking, but the name Apollonia always makes me think of one of the worst/best movies they riffed on there, called "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank." It was a mid-80's cable access nightmare starring Raul Julia, wherein he is trapped in some sort of matrix in a futuristic society and a techy, bushy-haired woman named Apollonia (http://www.agonybooth.com/overdrawn/cast_apollonia.jpg), who, now that I think about it, sort of looks like that chick from "Maple Town."

Aw, first link didn't work. Anyway, she looks like the chick in the second link. Or maybe someone from Jem's band.

I think Apollonia was one of Prince's proteges.
