Name spot: Voltaire

Ok I must confess I was watching [name]Judge[/name] [name]Judy[/name]… but one lady was named Voltaire. My eyes popped at that one!!!
Made me think of the Twilight baddies.

WDYT?

im not a fan! Its not a very feminine name!

That’s sad. Voltaire is a pretty cool mans name.

At first I wasn’t paying attention to the show and thought is WAS the man… so I really looked up when it was the woman. The man’s name was [name]Lamont[/name].

Voltaire was the pen name of [name]Fran[/name]çois-[name]Marie[/name] Arouet de Voltaire who was a French male writer and philosopher in the 1700’s so it’s a surprise that it was the name of a woman.

I like the writer, but I don’t think I’d ever want to use the name personally, the association seems way to strong to me.

I like it as a male name, but mostly as a GP.

Yes, maybe that’s it Voltage!!!
