Miss World 2009
If you happened to be channel surfing early Saturday morning (on the East Coast of the US, anyhow), you might’ve caught Miss World 2009, broadcast live from South Africa.
Or was that just me?
I’m not into beauty pageants, but I stopped and watched, eager to hear contestants’ names. Except they kept referring to them as Miss Colombia and Miss Poland. So off to Google I went, and here are the international appellations that graced the stage.
Name of the Day: Alina
Is she a modern coinage? A traditional diminutive able to stand on her own? Or something else entirely?
Thanks to Laney McDonald for suggesting the elusive Alina as Name of the Day.
Name of the Day: Lena
Is this name a short and sophisticated stand-alone or best reserved as a nickname?
Thanks to JNE for suggesting the lovely Lena as the Name of the Day.
