Alaska Lucille


I know, I know, I KNOWWWW, Alaska is the name of a state, not a person, but seriously, I can't get this name out of my head. I posted about it a few weeks ago, and generally, people hated it, but still, bear with me. For those who didn't see my post, I read a book, "Looking For Alaska" by John Green, and it has had some serious effects on me. In addition, I've always wanted to go to Alaska, always, I think it'd be so beautiful and wonderful there.

So, basically, Alaska has a lot of strong connotations for me. The book really did change my life, and the state is someplace I've been dying to go for honestly, a very long LONG time.


I mean, people name their kid's places all the time. London, Dakota, so is Alaska really that out of place?


And how about just the combo, Alaska Lucille. Yay or nay?


Thank youuu!

Weighing in pretty late, I know. I think "Alaska Lucille" is pretty strange. Alaska has connotations of a vast cold wilderness, Lucille evokes fancy dresses and Lucille Ball. In addition, it looks like a descriptor, like Texas Pete or Injun Joe. Or even worse, Eskimo Nell.

*imagines various uses*
"Alaska is cutting her first tooth!"
"Hi, I'm Alaska, would you like to buy some girl scout cookies?"
"ALASKA LUCILLE SMITH, WOULD YOU CLEAN UP THIS ROOM."
"Nice to meet you, Allie. Is that short for Allison or Alexandra?"
"If Mississippi lent Missouri her New Jersey, what did Delaware? I don't know, Alaska!"
"What's the capital of Alaska? Juneau! I don't know. Do JU KNOW, Alaska?"
"Do you, Alaska Lucille, take this man..."
"Now on the scene, news reporter Alaska L. Smith, over to you, Alaska."
"Doctor Alaska L. Smith"
"Grandma Alaska"

It's your choice, but I vote no.
