Should I tell 'em, Veronica, or let 'em guess? And how does it differ from pogo? that's my trivial question on this thread. Oh, and the accent on out... I don't really think it's either "aboat" or "aboot". It's more like a cross between the two. But then, I can't really hear it myself... unless I really exaggerate the words. It's "aboawt" in eastern Ontario, gets more "ooo" as you go further west. No there is not ONE Canadian accent, folks. Even in Quebec, they change considerably as you travel the St. Lawrence, from a choppy fast almost-Parisian to what sounds like French spoken with an Alabama drawl.

I have yet to run into any more Arabels in the world (Arabella seems to pop up every so often). The problem being, I was named after my great-grandmother, who was born in 1872, I think, and somewhere along the line, D&D players thought *they* created the name.

I know there was a book I read as a child with a main character named Arabel. I thought it was a gorgeous name and for awhile that was going to be what I named my child when I grew up. As far as I can remember, she was the older sister of the main character who was a kid (girl) that I think got into trouble a lot (gee, can't imagine why my mom would have gotten me books with this kind of storyline). I think the book took place at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century in the US somewhere (they were sort of Victorian).

For weeks before that, people could suggest names to have on the ballot, and Bob was indeed one of them. In fact, it came in a very close second to Nunavut once the ballots were counted.
