It's kind of weird.

I'm sure it seemed like a great idea at the time, now she has to keep it up. She can't suddenly start calling new characters Stanley and Jimmy. <br /><br />@Tracy I read a story with Rupert, he referred to himself as Rupe which kind of threw me off as well. It's a very old-fashioned name, although I worked for about 3 weeks with a young guy in his 20's named Rupert.

I know I had a big debate with some friends about how to pronounce Kein. I was pronouncing it KEEN simply because there was single ref when he was referred to as Kee, but they all read it as KINE using the more German pronunciation.
