Alizée Trivia

[Scruffydog777]

I thought this would an interesting thread to start. A lot of the trivia, many of our regular posters may know, but there may be observers who don't so keep that in mind when you post a trivia bit and I'd like to see anyone post who thinks they have something of note.

The first trivia question is an easy one. How did Alizée get her name????

[Antares]

Her parents were fans of windsurfing, and thus decided to name their daughter after the trade winds, or "alizé" in French. The extra 'e' is a feminization of this word.

Okay, slightly more challenging... What did the government person say to Alizée's father as he was registering his young daughter's name?

Sth like: Alizée? What kind of name is this? Don’t you want to add a second name in case your child doesn’t like it (the name) later?

I thought that this question might have been answered in the question and answer that was posed earlier......................

But of course, this didn't say what Jo's response was........................or did it???

I never saw the source of the text for Jo's response, so I can't say for sure if he did respond.

This came from Jo in a tweet or Facebook post, I think either around her birthday or after she won DALS4. I think there may have been one more line from Jo in the posting. I'm sure he has deleted it already but maybe someone capped it.

I was curious if the masculine Alizé is pronounced the same as the feminine Alizée?

Of course me being a military buff, when I first did research on that name, I found out there was a French naval patrol plane by that name. It was first built in 1956.



I remember reading in interviews from years back, how she had been teased about her glasses, but it wasn't until an interview this year that I heard she was teased about what at that time was looked upon as an unusual name.

I bet you after 1999, nobody teased her anymore!

I came across this page when doing some more research.



I also read this in a baby name bible;

I think it's pronounced the same in either case. For example in the song "L'alizé" there is the line "C'est léger, c'est l'alizé" which sounds just like "Alizée" to me.

I know are some OTR busses by Vanhool called Alizé, and I've even seen a portable generator on Amazon France also called Alizé.

Next question;

During what performance did Alizée have trouble with the microphone mounted on her head set?

Tough one.. I'm going for this J'en ai marre rehearsal at Festivalbar.
