NOTE: The information/one-question survey contained hereunder is only hypothetical and DOES NOT mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Any similarities with actual facts or entities are merely coincidental. In simple terms, I'm just curious.
If I were to start a website, which name would strike a chord with you more (forget about the TLDs or name 'extensions' (.com, .net, et. al.))?
a) DEBUTANT --- one who makes a debut
b) DEBUTING --- infinitive form of the verb "debut"
c) DEBUTER --- French word for the verb "to begin"
d) DEBUTED --- past tense form of the verb "debut"
I already made my choice; I just wanna know if you and I are on the same page.
Peace out,
Andree

I think "Debutant" sounds cool.

Debutant makes me think of spoiled rich girls at fancy, stuffy, aristocratic social gatherings. Go for debuted. B)

Debutant. If you pick anything else then I will place a pox upon you and your family.

Well, I'm going to be odd and say "Debuter". Of course, it only sounds good if you say it with a French accent. Debut-er sounds dumb, debut-ay sounds cool.

It'd be even better if you lifted an REM song title and called it "Begin the Begin." Which is kind of along the same lines...
Or maybe I'm just crazy. =)

I hate to step outside the box, but I like none of the choices given. "Debutant" has the best ring to it, but it has negative connotations. The rest of the words are either unfamiliar to most people or more difficult to say.

Skraps I agree, actually. I also agree with Schil and Dv that debutant is reminiscent of Jane Austin-style high society. |

You could design the site with a carnival motif and call it The Farias Wheel...

You know, I've always thought that an intelligent site with cool reviews should have a name like The Rebel Base, but I think that one's already taken....

Why has 'debutant' negative connotations? Check your dictionaries, folks.
I think you're thinking of 'debutante'. BIG difference, yo.
English is my second language, by the way.
Peace out,

Connotations are capricious things, and sometimes hard to pick up on. I know that debutante is the way it's generally spelled, but the other one evokes the feelings we mentioned, whether it's rational or not.

Andree Is the 'debutante' pronounced the same as 'debutant'? English is stupid that way, with its little 'e's hat are sometimes silent, sometimes not. In the course of typing this, I checked the dictionary, and it said that the two spellings were interchangable, so the negative connotatons still exist. |

I think debutante is the older spelling.
And at least it's better than French, where something like Bordeaux is Bordo when you pronounce it.
