The Beau Needs A Blog Name - Part I
As a child learning French, I found reading the quebecois Archie comics to be far more entertaining than Asterix and Obelix. I became hooked. To this day one might even find a comic or two stashed in my bathroom magazine rack. Although I always likened myself more of a Betty Cooper on the inside, there is no question in my mind that Veronica Lodge was the superior-looking vixen (which inadvertently contented me, given my own brunette locks).
Archie and Veroni-cookie
It's no secret that I've been hunting for a blog name for my sweetheart since the moment we started dating; if for no other reason than it's emasculating to call a man 'sweetheart' so publicly on the regular. When I took this picture with the beau on a recent trip to Las Vegas, a lightbulb went off. Although he is not a redhead, he could be my 'Archie Andrews...'
Archie's undisputable preference.
So this is choice number one (the rest to be revealed in subsequent posts). In addition, all other thoughts and ideas are encouraged...

I lived on asterix and obelix in elementary school. every once in a while in the library I'll pick one up and find out how it is so much funnier than I remembered... of course, I think I also started reading them in spanish...

Thumbs down on Archie. His face looks like someone famous, but I can't place it.
PS. He CAN NOT have my blog name.

I learned English from Asterix and Obelix, I have the entire collection of comics, plus a pencil and some keychain holders from Parc Asterix in Paris. Archie was also entertaining, and secretely I still buy those comics.
I suppose the name Archie would fit, but I think your main-squeeze looks better than him.

Count me as along on the train of appreciation for Asterix and Obelix, they were simply great. Plenty of kiddies would not know any 'ancient' history w/o them!
On the other issue, we really need a bit more info on the fellow to come up with a decent moniker, but here's some of my immediate takes & thoughts:
1.) Why not Beau [Blank]? That's where more info would come in handy!
2.) This years lucky so& so.
3.) My fiancé. (I know, perhaps not a crowd fav.)
4.) There's got to be something else in the classic comics genre, right?
5.) But having a place he's from or a school he roots for, a strange habit or quirk, a glam old car, gives him something to differentiate him from all your past lucky errant BF's.
In short, we're in need of more information. Cheers & Good Luck! 'VJ'
