Subject: last names
Greetings all :)
I was driving out in the middle of no where and my thoughts, as they
often do, turned to Lacroix, and I started thinking how he goes by his
last name, when his children all go by just their first. This led me to
wondering if maybe this is the community's way of showing
patriarch/matriarch/head-of-the-line type deal. Lacroix, being the
'father' of his line, can be rereferred to by his last name, while his
offspring (Nick, Janette, et all) go through a series of last names and
in the community are mostly rereferredo by just their first names. Same
goes with Vachon, he's the head of his line (since his master is dead)
and goes by his last name in the community, while Urs goes by her first.
Thoughts?

So, ya think its because he's the first of his line?
And here I thought Lacroix was just trying not to advertise the fact that
his first name is synonymous with 'Lucy'.

Interesting idea. I hadn't thought of it before in those terms, but I have
assumed that using LaCroix last name was a sign of his detachment from the
community. Not working to have friends close enough to call him by his
first name. Also a way to keep people at a distance.
If we carry the "head of the family" theory to at least one if it's
logical(?) conclusions, if Divia were still around, LaCroix would be called
Lucien and Divia would have her last name used. I truly can't see LaCroix
going through (eternal) life being called Lucien like he was just one of the
guys.

Hello Forever Knight Fans!
As most of you know, last month, we collected lots and lots of e-mails to
enclose in a large Easter Basket to send to Bonnie Hammer. Well, we have had
confirmation that the basket was happily received and all the E-mails from
you the fans were read and passed around to all in the programming
department as well!! We are optimistic that we are indeed getting closer to
our goal to have Forever Knight restored to the schedule.
Last month was our very first blitz to Feedback. While we have no exact way
of knowing just how many of you participated, we are fairly certain, that it
was a lot!!! And so, We at KtK are ready to have another one!!!
Are we stopping with just Sci-fi this time? NO!! This time out, we are
blitzing Sci-Fi, USA NETWORKS and Columbia Tristar! Its a triple dose of
e-mails from each of you the fans that would love to not only have FK back
on Sci-fi's schedule, but want to make sure everyone knows that we are want
more FK with the original cast in new eps and or movies!! So, what do you
say? Are you ready to sit down, take that few minutes and send off three
e-mails? It could make all the difference in the world!
So, say a little or say a lot, but say it!! We can make more FK happen!!!
May 15th, through May 22nd, we are asking everyone to blitz all three
feedbacks!!! You can re-use the e-mails you did before, or write new ones.
They can be long, or as short as just saying, "Bring Back Forever Knight."
ALSO REMEMBER!! Sci-fi will be changing its schedule around in June, and
again in the fall.... lets make sure that we get Forever Knight on!!!

Sounds plausible to me, but when Vachon is talking to Nick, he always calls
him "Knight" to his face. I've often been curious about that, because when I
was in school I detested the few classes I had where the teachers required
that all the students refer to each other using last names only. For some
reason, when I was in school I'd rather be called a nasty four-letter word
than be called by my last name! ::shrugs:: Dunno why.

I tend to think the reason no one refers to Lacroix by his first name is
that no one dares. It's just too darned familiar, and he's not exactly the
approachable, friendly type, is he? And it seems to me that there's an older
British-English (as opposed to American English) custom of referring to
friends by their last names without an honorific. For instance, "I say,
Holmes, that's quite a puzzlement, isn't it?" "Yes, indeed, Watson." Only
children, servants, or very close friends/family are referred to by their
first names.

For the last 30 years or so Americans have been moving away from the custom
of calling people by their last names and honorifics. I cringe when I hear
children call their neighbors by their first names, rather than the
respectful "Mrs. Johnson" or "Mr. Dunn" that I grew up with. I loved the
class in high school in which the teacher called us by our last names. "Miss
Kaminski, please recap for us the story on Nigeria you read in Time magazine
yesterday..." It made me feel so adult and responsible!
I fear my age is showing again. <g> This spills over into how I answer a
phone at work -- with my full name, not just my first, as most of my
coworkers do. (And I just remembered that my father answered his phone at
work with a laconic "Kaminski here." It must run in the family. <g>)
You'll note that Nick calls him "Vachon," not "Javier." They're
acquaintances, not close friends. That seems right to me.
Ms. Kaminski to you, buddy!

I found the word 'carouse' meaning:
verb intransitive
1 : to drink liquor deeply or freely
2 : to take part in a carouse : engage in dissolute behavior
verb transitive
obs : to drink up : quaff
To Drink up or freely might fit, but doesn't that fit all vampires?

On this page (all in french, sorry), apparently Carouche is

freshwater whitefish.

I asked my neighbor who is from France about the word carouche. He speaks
french fluently, and said that he has never heard or seen the word.
However, he did think that it looked like an old form of French that is no
longer used.

If we're looking for a root for carouche, then how about the French
adjective "farouche" (masculine, farouch)? It fits very nicely, since it
means
"wild" as in a wild animal that runs away when approached
misanthropic, unsociable or shy

As I recall, Divia *did* refer to LaCroix as Lucien when ever they were
together. I wonder if the reason LaCroix referred to her as Divia instead
of a last name was because of the remnants of their mortal relationship.

I always thought that was weird, as Lucien is definitely french in origin.
Wouldn't his name at the time he was brought across (assuming that it was a
precedent of Lucien) Lucius, or a variant of it?
McLisa? Aren't you our resident expert on names? :-) I seem to recall a
previous discussion on what Divia's last name would (or would not) have been.

I think the use of last names between Nick and Vachon has more to do with
keeping a respectful/cautious distance between the two. Neither one really
trusts the other, but they have to associate on a civil/semi-social basis.

Actually, didn't Divia vacillate between the two forms depending on the time

I'm pretty sure this isn't just British-English. In Dumas-pere's Three
Musketeers series, not only do we never learn any of the Musketeers' given
names (though we understand that D'Argagnan uses his own last name and we
do learn Athos's true title), but they also use the formal ("vous") form of
speech between each other -- so much so that when, in a moment of alarm for
the safety of his young friend, Athos uses the familiar ("tu") form, all
the Musketeers take notice. My understanding is that it's only within the
past 30-40 years that friends, classmates, and same-age non-business
acquaintences have been using he familiar form of address with each other.

Probably because it sounded overly formal in some ways, and you were not
used to being referred to by anything other than your given name, or *all*
of your names -- and then, only for roll call in class or when you were in
trouble with your parents. (Typical child, hearing his mother address him
by his complete legal name, knows he's in *BIG* trouble!)

I cringe when someone calls me "Ms. Bell" or "Miss Bell". While I'll be 40
next month, in my mind, I've never grown up or aged to the point of
meriting a title-lastname address, and I'm not comfortable with either
"Miss" or "Ms." as a title ("Miss" sounds too under-eighteen, and "Ms"
sounds too 70's-era-Women's-Libber.)
I've recently achieved the status of "courtesy aunt" from a teenaged
friend, and still have to shake my head in wonder at it. Going from
"Brenda" to "Auntie Brenda" (without my knowledge until it appeared on a
"thank you" card) really blew my mind... "Courtesy aunts" were my
grandmother's canasta cronies (some of whom were actually distant cousins
of Grandma's age group). Grandma and her peers settled on that method to
avoid the problems of toddlers not being able to pronounce difficult last
names.
Like Nancy, I grew up calling most of my parents friends "Mr. and Mrs.
Lastname" -- my parents had us call by their first names those of their
friends and neighbors who allowed their children to call my parents by
their given names. But as my friends and I grew older, and our neighbors
were more halfway between our parents' ages and ours -- some time during
our teen years -- the honorifics and last names and courtesy relations
dropped out. Now, I couldn't even conceive of my friends' grade-school or
preschool children calling me by anything other than just my given name.

As do I... strangely, most of my coworkers don't identify themselves on the
phone. The rest go by lastname-only. There *are* industries -- such as
customer service -- where one identifies oneself by firstname only because
psychologically, it should set the caller a bit more at ease and able to
explain his problem.
>You'll note that Nick calls him "Vachon," not "Javier." They're

Especially considering their respective ages... but on the other hand, for
many years it's been a casual-manners Americanism for males to call their
buds by lastname only.

Subject: Re: Last names
Roman men chose (or their families did when they were young) one element of
their name, and that was what they were addressed by, even by children.
Servants, of course, used "master" in speaking to them, and naturally if
there was a military or civil title, persons not on terms for the personal
name used that.
My guess is that LaCroix started using LaCroix as a name when surnames (or
estate names) became the norm in France. Yes, there is or was a French
custom of referring to and addressing men by the surname only. In LC's
case, LaCroix could just possibly be an estate name, from a place where
there was a cross. He was probably using Lucien earlier, since for some
reason, Lucius doesn't seem to have come over into the Western languages
before the Reformation. Lucien is the French form of "Lucianus," an
adjective form of "Lucius". Since there were saints with both names, I don't
know whey the preference for Lucian/Lucien. Note that Lucius has nothing to
do with Luke, which is a Greek-derived name. It's possible, however, that
folk etymology thought it did, accounting for the situation.
Divia is probably Divia's family name. I know I said the opposite when the
show aired first, but I've changed my mind on reflection. Selene could have
been a freedwoman of Lucius's family, or the daughter of freedmen. In that
case she was a family client and would have received the surname on freedom.
This was the norm. She would then have passed it on to Divia. Family names
were not used as given names in this period independently of membership in
the family.
As I remember it, Divia referred to LC first as "General" and later as
"Father." Only in the present did she call him LC and then, wasn't she
talking to people who wouldn't recognize another name for him?

Actually, the person who posted with the name Niche Carouche was
on a car discussion bulletin board! NOT the spammer's form
letter. I forgot to include the URL for that one. S/He was
complaining about how ugly some new SUV was.

Subject: Help! Looking for a Story
Several, several months ago I read, I believe it was, a trilogy of stories about
3 friends (2 gentleman, 1 lady, mortal) hanging out at the Raven. The stories
were told totally from their point of view and they were sharing their
observances of the interactions between Janette the owner and her two gentleman
friends -- an older guy and a honey of a blonde. Anyone know the author and/or
the titles? I wanna read 'em again! They were wonderful....

Or nicknames. Even to longtime friends, my now-college-age nephew is
either "O'Hara" or "Lurch" (He's 6-foot-four). Nick called Don Schanke
"Schank."
Of course, I agree completely with Nancy Kaminski that no one would dare
use LC's first name to his face unless specifically asked to do so --
much less a nickname.
