Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related The evil Claude...

I have used Claude Guillot (pronounced gee-oh with a hard 'g' [instead of the soft 'g' which sounds like a 'j']) because of a guy I went to college with who was self-important and superior and smug and very irritating. (He dropped out before he finished the first semester). I also made him use 'DuBois' (pronounced doo-bwah) when he was using a false identity.

But whatever you come up with will be fine. If he's going to be a major character, may I suggest 'Michaud' for no particular reason?

just wanted to clarify - "Malfois" is Olympe's suggestion , not mine

c.

*lol* Terry, I love "Guillot", it sounds great!! Quite close to "guillotine" and that kinda creates a nice image, to me... hehehehe!

Michaud is nice, too. I wouldn't use it myself, but only because Claude Michaud is the name of a rather well known Quebec actor - who happens to be nice and amusing, not at all evil and annoying. *lol* So the mental image wouldn't fit in my head. *giggles*

I've been trying to find some sort of pun we could make with his name (like the one that's being used for Ralph.. *lol*) but I couldn't find any English words that start with the right sound... Or French ones, for that matter. Well, OK, I found one - claudicant - but I have no idea how to turn that into a first/last name combination and it's really not that funny anyway. Oh hum.

WOOPS....... Sorry about the mis-quote there... do not have a clue as to how I made that mistake


Claude: and puns...


hmmm
let's ramble a bit (because isn't procrastinating from the real world fun!!!!!!!!)

Claude.....Claw/Claws... reminds me if Inspector Gadget
and the image is closer to Mr Smith from Vixen etc (as opposed to luckabe)

Claude......Flawed....
Claude... Forward (as in his manner was very forward...)
C.............Coward
C.............Clod
..............clout


btw. I liked the Guillotine reference
then if you use DuBois there is always "THE DUBIOUS Monsieur Claude DuBois" (but is that what you were going for Terry, I read your fic when LL goes into space and Claude is murdered?)
and I loved that fic....one of my fav's the write stuff

Oh my gosh! You guys cracked me up with some of those.

But they were all really wonderful and helpful suggestions. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond! I've been away for the past few days with no internet access and no way for my L and C fix. *sigh.* But this is all wonderfully helpful. I feel like it's my birthday and I get to go down and select a name...

Thanks everyone!

Claude Yarmoff? (say it to yourself)

LOIS:Don\'t be ridiculous. It was ...e was French -- he had this accent...


As for his last name I like " St. Dimas ".

Interesting that you chose St.Dimas

It adds a side to Claude that is not often seen in fandom, which is his penitence...

I read one story once (actually a favourite, but before I started saving to my hard-drive so cannot name it for you) whereby C. is dying of AIDS, and comes back because he must inform L. of the issue due to their past history.... if you want to pursue this angle, then I highly recommend it...does anyone know the story I mean... C. also gives L. his Kerth at some awards ceremony as a sign of his repentance...

Redemption by Irene Dutch

A delightful story. As normal with Irene's tales they pull on your heart stings.
