Names With Zing

[Doug Harris]

That is not, of course, the subject head we
were using a few days or so ago re the matter
of names that live on in memory for their...
well, for their 'zing'.
'Just watched the movie Biloxi Blues, in which
several WWII era soldier have their initial
introduction to in-the-flesh sex, and sex with
a prostitute. The latter character's name was
Rowena, which could be said to sound sort of
prostitutey in a Biloxi sort of way.
The actress who played Rowena was named Park
Overall. Now _THERE's a prostitutey name for
ya!!!
