A poll!

Because LJ keeps informing me that I can add polls to posts, even though obviously I know that and just have never done it before....



I think I'm beginning to like this girls' name a lot, though it's only in one name book I own. WDYT of Fontane?

I'm not a lover of too many F names besides Freja...well, I do like Fiorella (Fiorello for a boy), Fern & Florence. Until I thought of this one.

Now, which spelling do you prefer? (Or suggest something else?) I like both, but I’d vote for the -tane one myself. Not sure why…I only like Raine, for instance, spelled this way. Ah, well.

It reminds me of Grease for some reason.

The prince of the platter, Mr. Vince Fontaine?

Yep, it definitely made me think of him and a few other people with the last name. I don't normally like "surnamey" names, but this is an exception...
according to the book it's a French girls name meaning 'source of water' or something like that. Like, fountain.
I like the sound of it, personally..

It hurts me.

I figured most people wouldn't like it; gee, I was right. .__. And the spelling poll-wow! I'm outnumbered on this one. XD Oh well. It's very unusual. I wouldn't actually have thought it to be my style either, 'til I started thinking about it for a while.

just in case any Sabres fans are reading...

LALALALALALALALA LA FONTAINE! he was our #16 for a while, Pat La Fontaine.

I dont like it at all, honestly.

also reminds me a bit of those "Fantana" girls

Heh heh...if anybody tried to turn it into Fontana or something I'd be mad. >D

It sounds pretty but it makes me think of "fountain" and then I imagine it being the brand name of a chocolate fountain. It also somehow reminds me of Pantene, although it's nothing alike!

Yeah, I do think it has a prettiness to it...
and I like fountains, so maybe it just naturally puts nice thoughts in my head or something. xD Aside from a positive association I have with someone's 'la fontaine' surname (I think that's how he spells it..) and a few other weird associations that make me like it.
