When I was looking at the blog Blog of Characters run by Apolla 13 she had added this name to her blog, a lot of the names on her blog are ones on mine but some I’ve never heard of before and so if I love them I add them to my blog. If you care to look at her blog it is https://apolla13.wordpress.com/

Alouette is a lovely beautiful name with a lovely meaning. I had never heard this name before nor did I know it was a popular older children’s song. I looked it up and found the Wikipedia page link I added above to be of interest as it gives the lyrics in French and English and then the lyrical meanings to the song. I only found the pronunciations on Yahoo Answers and a dictionary site.

My mom grew up in the time where this song was popular and so she knows the pronunciation really well and knows how to sing the song in the original French. When she was a little girl her dad was stationed in Paris, France for a while and so she knows French. So I wish I could record her saying it and put it here but that would take too long.
