On Dollhouse's usage of phonetic alphabet. A linguist muses in his blog about the names of the actives in Dollhouse, and makes a prediction/suggestion for a possible plot line.

Romeo (a potential boyfriend for Juliet?).

They'd forget each other everyday...talk about star-crossed.

Just what I needed; another site for my favroites menu (in folder name D'C'A'.)

Hacksaway is funny. :D

I see a whole new type of serial joke coming on.

What a fun read. Nice find Anti, thanks for posting.

I like the names and the idea is pretty good.

Great site... Thanks, Anti!

Thanks, Groo.

Now that I think about it, I totally have to write a fanfic with characters named after the Hebrew phonetic alphabet. Once the show airs, that is :)

Oh come on, we can't have a character called Whiskey? Hehe, that'd be great. Guess who's going to have the drinking problem on the show?

Oh and hacksaway, I believe that's "star cross'd lovers." What's Shakespeare without unnecessary apostrophes?

I think "Whiskey" is a great name, too. But the character should be a humorless teetotaller. The one I really feel sorry for is "Golf."

They could specialise in swinging.

And i've just noticed the NATO 'Whiskey' has an 'e' in it, bloody sassanachs ;).
