“A lot of fantasy names are too much. They’re too difficult to pronounce. I wanted the flavour of medieval England. I took actual names we still use today, like ‘Robert’, and in some case I tweaked them a little bit. I made ‘Edward’ into ‘Eddard’. If you look back at medieval times, no one knew how to spell their own names. There are a lot of variations that we’ve lost.” IfsLooksLittlesMadeStillsUseTodayWantedNamesLostBitsDifficultCasesFantasyToo MuchLittle BitEnglandSpellsVariationMedievalFlavourMedieval Times Author:George R.

“I'm not called Jude Law, I have three names; I'm called 'Hunk Jude Law' or 'Heartthrob Jude Law'. In England anyway, that's my full name.

“I did listen to 1920s jazz or Al Johnson and a lot of early singers coming out of England.

“At home in the states, I think there's a tendency in the states to go for the latest, greatest thing. The latest, greatest is the latest greatest. I think when you're talking about France, England, things like that, they look for the history of an artist and they go back when it comes to music like this anyway. They will go back a little bit further. I think the United States is very knowledgeable and it's a good place to play.” ThinkingLooksLittlesStatesPlayHomeArtistBitsUnitedTalkingUnited StatesLittle BitEnglandTendenciesFranceBack WhenKnowledgeableGood Place Author:Joe Louis Walker
