Lalage
Lalage f
Classical name, pronounced /'lælədzi/ or /'læləg|/. It was used by Horace in one of his Odes as the name of his beloved of the moment; without doubt it was not her real name, but a literary pseudonym derived from Greek lalagein to chatter or babble. It has enjoyed a modest popularity among classically educated parents since the 19th century. It was the name of the central character in E. Arnot Robertson's Ordinary Families (1933) and it also occurs in John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969).
