I've known two Darrells, both boys, both pronounced like Darren, but one was spelt Daryl.

Sophiev73 · 15/10/2006 21:14

I went to school with a Darrell who was a boy. Was reading said books at the time, so got jolly confused...

DarrellSHivers · 15/10/2006 21:13

no never, always imagined it pronounced as it's written really

MadamePlatypus · 15/10/2006 21:11

Has anybody ever met anybody in real life called Darrell? Do you think it is pronounced like Darren or more like Darth Vader - Daar-ell?

DarrellSHivers · 15/10/2006 21:09

still can't belive you never read any malory towers

DarrellSHivers · 15/10/2006 21:08

I thought I was being all smart to have found a book named after malory, it wasn't until I'd started the read and saw it was by Enid Blyton that I realsied it possibly wasn't someone writting about our malory.
I clicked on the link I'd made tp check it worked and saw it was by EB and "Oh dear...I'm going to be laughed at here"

Thanks Jackie NHJABS - I found the same with Beatrix Potter " Anna Maria said she thought that it was of no consequence; but she wished that Tom Kitten would hold his head still, as it disarranged the pastry." Yes, quite.

Milly Molly Mandy is by Joyce Lankester Brisley, MegaLegs - DD has them but I find them quite difficult to read to her, because the language is just a bit too archaic in places. Sweet, though.

MegaLegs · 13/10/2006 11:31

girls' (apostrophe alert - is that right oh pedantic ones?)

MegaLegs · 13/10/2006 11:30

No LTH - you should read them though - they are excellent. (Malory Towers that is) You've got boys like me havn't you? They might not be interested in the adventures at a girls boarding school.

NOMurDErousPLUME · 13/10/2006 11:28

I loved Malory Towers books. DS1 has just discovered my collection of Famous Fives. By the way - who wrote the Milly Molly Mandy books - they weren't Enid Blyton were they?
