Marten's dad, I'm not sure. But someone who says "Charmed" and "darling" probably has or is faking an accent.

Aww I say "darling" all the time without an accent.
--- Quote from: Binary on 17 Oct 2009, 01:29 ---This is of absolutely no significance whatsoever, but I was just idly wondering how Maurice pronounces his name. To rhyme with "Morris", the way I've always heard it used in real life, or to rhyme with the French-style "more-REECE", like Barry Corbin's character in Northern Exposure (which always sounded weird to me)?
If the "Maurice Marcel" theory is correct, probably the latter.

I don't think you mean it rhymes with Morris. I think you mean people pronounce it as if it were Morris. I've actually never heard it pronounced that way, but then everyone I know who goes by Maurice is actually named Mauricio, so the "EES" thing may just be a carry-over from the Spanish pronunciation.

Shouting out the wrong one at an inappropriate (or even an appropriate) time could be costly!
Besides, you don't want to leave a paper trail!

There are no names, there's only mistress and slave.

...Or maybe his name is Maurice Marcel. =D

Oh. My. God.
I'd heard of Marcel irons (a type of curling iron) before (my wife was a hair stylist back when she could stand working with the public). I did a little research, and found this;
"In 1890 two Frenchmen, Maurice Lentheric and Marcel Grateau, used hot-air drying and heated curling tongs to make deep, long-lasting Marcel waves."
Think he was named for two historical French hairdressers?
Think I'm reading too much into this?
Think I'd better get back to grading midterms...
