It's Holl-eh. Not hole. It's Norwegian.

...what's Norwegian?

[oslogrin.livejournal.com]

My name. Non-Norwegians can't seem to pronounce it.

[notfairyboy.livejournal.com]

Oh...so Norwegia...is a country?

*He's earnest, trying to figure it out. Too many countries in this world!*

I guess I'm pretty lucky with my name.

What happened to your face? [Tact, Sam does not have it. Things he's also missing: a filter.]

[Harry shrugs and lights a cigarette] I had to slice it open to get a sort of bomb out.

[You ask, Sam, you get an answer.]

[lormenari.livejournal.com]

How'd you get a bomb in your face? Are you, like, in the mafia or something?

Holl..-eh [Kitty tries repeating]
Did I get it right this time?

[oslogrin.livejournal.com]

You could say Holly, if you want. It's what my Australian friend calls me.

[misskittywinter.livejournal.com]

Very well, then, Mr Holly.

Holl-eh. It's a good, strong name. And I feel your irritation. Nobody ever gets mine right, either - if they see it written down, first.

[oslogrin.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I think. Mine looks like a word in English, when it's written down. What's your name?

[beadchain.livejournal.com]

What does it look like, written down? I can't quite picture it.

Well, mine. It's M-a-i-r-i. I usually get Mary. But it's not, it's mah-ry. [Shrug.] Pain in the arse, but I really can't be bothered to start going by something else, so.

[cygnus-dolorus.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm really sorry.

[ So awkward. ]

[oslogrin.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine. Most Americans can't pronounce it. Most Non-Norwegians in general can't. My Australian friend just calls me Holly.

[cygnus-dolorus.livejournal.com]

Should I do that too?

[ Careful smile. ]

I'm Bella.
