[Press] France Dimanche, May 6th 2005: Hannah-Lili

[Snatcher42]

From Nidalizee... the name is...

http://www.nidalizee.com//presse/presse%202005/avril_mai2005/francedimanche01.JPG

Hannah-Lili!

HANNAH
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Jewish, French, Biblical
Pronounced: HAN-a [key]
From the Hebrew name Channah which meant "favour" or "grace". Hannah was the mother of Samuel the prophet in the Old Testament. The Latin version of this name is Anna.

[DavidAlizée]

I thought Anna was short for Annabel ?

Even so, Anna is a fantastic name, i love it!! I used to date a girl called Hannah, cool name!

So was this name leaked? or did Alizée mention it to the press?

[xuleicolin]

Wooooooooo, thx Snatcher,
but I still dunno the pronunciation of the baby's name, is it sounds like "hana"?

[Snatcher42]

So was this name leaked? or did Alizée mention it to the press?
Dunno. And I don't trust France Dimanche implicitly either. Someone on the French forum is claiming that the name is Anne Lee! So I think the speculation will continue for awhile still. Though if I had to make a guess at this point, I'd go with France Dimanche since they seem to have other information like the size and weight of the baby.

but I still dunno the pronunciation of the baby's name, is it sounds like "hana"?
I've heard it two ways...
Han (like in Han Solo) - Ah
or
Han (like in hand) - Ah

[DavidAlizée]

Oh, Anna-Lee sounds so nice, i so hope it is this name! I don't claim to pronounce French good but, it could sound like "Annali" with no breaker in the middle, when spoke?

cute name! Thanks for the info, we will just have to wait a few more days or something to be sure.

[tern]

So a hyphenated Hanna-Lili? It's beautiful. And what a great pic of Alizée to use with the article. Shame they can never get a picture of the mother and father together... it would be so much better.

Again, congratulations to Alizée and Jérémy! :mrgreen:

[kris]

What a commotion!Oh God! Waiting for translation and how the news was found out.Name ? Very nice(delicate,gentle, soft ? I don't know which is correct here if you know what I mean). And has sth common with OUR Lili! :D
I`m not sure if I understand pronunciation - the accent falls on the "a" ?

[Tim]

!!! Great news! After there not being any news, to three articles in the past month... Alizée is getting more publicity!

[Misfit]

Wow, very nice. Hannah-Lili is great!

[DavidAlizée]

yeah, it's always the same photos.. http://www.alizee-forum.com/galerie/details.php?image_id=3548

[Petsku1]

Why do they always have to use the same pics of Alizée (and Jerry)? heh
edit: you read my mind Dave /Jordan
Hannah-Lili... Anna-Lee sound almost the same pronounced in french. There might
have been lotsa press listening behind the door... :P :roll: and now FD just decided that it has to be Hannah-Lili.

[mot]

This is certainly a suprise, though not certain!
It's definately unique, I've never seen a name with - in the middle.

- I like it! -

[Ard]

Snatcher42, Very nice news !

[DavidAlizée]

There are lots of names with - in the middle. Anne-marre being the most common i think. There are French names like this too, "Jean-Pierre"

Dunno about Belgium though..

[esceka]

In French, de first H isn't pronounced. I don't know how to call that in English, but here that would be called a 'silent H'? Anyway, in the name Hannah-Lili, it would sound like Anna-Lili with the An like -en- in the word genre. The problem with French, is that you have to speak in the back of your mouth. But the N lies right behind the fornt teeth.... When you say Lili, the i's sound very ehm... round? it's difficult to explain, but the name is very cute, when pronounced in French:P

[Zeka]

The name is fine,although I prefere Angelique.But Hannah-Lili is excellent also. :mrgreen: Now,we will have two Lilis:Alizee and a little Lili!!! :bounce:
I believe the real question regarding to the pronounciation of the baby's name is:
Is that first "H" letter pronounced? :?:
I don't believe it is pronounced because it is French-they don't pronounce it,so I believe it is more like Anna,with open "A" letters,like in "Alizee".
Waiting for you,BiB.... :dribble:

[Snatcher42]

Hannah-Lili... Anna-Lee sound almost the same pronounced in french. There might have been lotsa press listening behind the door... :P :roll: and now FD just decided that it has to be Hannah-Lili.
You know, this may very well be the case... well, not literally press around a door, but I think someone may have heard the name but doesn't know the spelling! Because today alone we are getting reports of the name being all these similar sounding possibilities:

Hannah-Lili
Anna-Lee
Anne-Lee
Anny-Lee
Annalee

[Steve]

Love the name :) :lol:

[esceka]

The H isn't pronounced in French, I'm quite sure:) Just like in Homme

[ArlettyFan]

Lili is part of her name? :cheesy:

[CZESTER]

Wonderful name :lol: I'm happy :lol:

[Pawel]

Four syllabes is too much for a name I think, no one will call her so day by day. Maybe she just got two separate, not combined names?
However Annalee is fine. But is "lee" pronounced the same in French?

[xuleicolin]

Here comes a question, ummmmmmmm, wot is her full name?

[Petsku1]

It's up to them. The baby can have either one of the names Jacotey or Chatelain. Or even Jacotey-Chatelain.
At least this would be the case in Finland but Im not sure actually because France is so conservative country.

[mot]

Most likely it will be Chatelain, that's most common.

[Backinblack]

Alizée: It's a girl!

Alizée is a lucky woman and has reason to be...Indeed, for the first time, the singer has experienced all the emotion and joy of being...a mom!

It was in a clinic in the Paris region, during the night of April 28 and 29th that the young woman and her loved one, Jérémy, had the immense happiness of welcoming their adorable little marvel: an adorable girl carrying the sweet name Hannah-Lili, weighing 3.4 kg and measuring 51 cm.

Soft Nest
Let everyone be reassured, the baby is doing very well, and the happy mother is in good health. So well, in fact, that the entire little family has already returned home!

Finally taking advantage of the soft nest that they had prepared for their little girl...
Because for Alizée and Jérem, the arrival of this child is really the fulfillment of their history together, the crowning achievement of their love. And a nice little nose-thumbing to all those who cried publicity stunt!

Together, they waited impatiently nine months for this happy moment. A long wait during which mom and dad took the time to nourish their sweet projects. To imagine their future life that would no longer be united by two but by three...
And to say that, when they met, a few bad tongues bet that their adventure would melt as quick as an eskimo in the sun...

Remember, it was March 25, 2003, during the Eurobest at Cannes. That night, the pretty Lolita literally fell under the charm of the seductive Jérémy, young dropout from Star Ac 2. Between them, it was really love at first sight!
And since that blessed day, their love has only grown, and things picked up very quickly!
Indeed, just eight months after their meeting, our two lovebirds flew to Las Vegas, where, it is said, they were married in secret. Have they since then authenticated their marriage in France? No one knows.

But, official marriage or not, one thing is sure: the two of them love each other more than ever. To such a point that they decided to experience the most beautiful of adventures: having a child.

Alizée and Jérémy don't regret anything. The arrival of their little darling will bring them more joy than they have ever imagined.

Lullabies
They're on cloud nine, and it goes without saying. Despite their young age, they seem to be getting along very well, so happy to fully devote themselvres to the immense joy of being parents.

And, let's bet that with two singers as talented as those two, little Hannah-Lili will have plenty of lullabies to pass the sweet nights away!

Jérémy is on cloud nine and is already a real papa hen

[Orion]

I was hoping that the baby would be called Anna, because I love that name. Still, though, I do not know who to believe with so many names and articles. Also, if the name is uncertain, then why should we expect the size and weight to be also? Ben comes through again, though. Thanks. You are like the Peter Arnett of this forum hehe.

[DavidAlizée]

Thanks for that.

Yes, it most likely will be Chatelain. I hope it will be Jacotey, that would be so great! Unless the baby doesnt get the last name! like some footballers, so it will just be known as Anna! ( or hannah ) hehe

[Orion]

Thanks for the translation, BIB. The article seems genuine, as far as facts are concerned. Why would they say such nice things and ruin it by posting false info?? So, I think this article might have some real news. Still waiting for Lili, though, to make everything official.

[Backinblack]

In French, de first H isn't pronounced. I don't know how to call that in English, but here that would be called a 'silent H'? Anyway, in the name Hannah-Lili, it would sound like Anna-Lili with the An like -en- in the word genre. The problem with French, is that you have to speak in the back of your mouth.

However Annalee is fine. But is "lee" pronounced the same in French?

Pay attention to the teacher, folks, and I'll tell you how her name is pronounced. :D

The H is silent, both A's are as in Standard American English father, and Lili is standard French (lee-lee), the L's in French being pronounced with the tongue behind the front two teeth. No accent on any syllables because there is no stress in French.

Snatcher's right, the press may only have heard the name, so there are different spellings. Le Parisien reported it as "Anny-Lee." Personally I hope it ends up being Hannah-Lili. :wub:

[Snatcher42]

Thanks Mark. Despite the pronunciation differences, I keep thinking of Puff the Magic Dragon:
"Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee."

[DavidAlizée]

According to "dad" on "meet the parents", puff the magic dragon is a drug that you smoke! =)

[Snatcher42]

It's a children's song... though some people say it's about drugs, yes.

[DavidAlizée]

lol, i just had to sing along to that! thanks! So, Alizée will be singing that to her baby! =) how sweet :mrgreen:

[Snatcher42]

So, Alizée will be singing that to her baby!
:wub: :wub: :wub:

[slickis]

mm guys, hannah-lili.. i dont know.. i guess i dont like the name as much as you all do.

still, not bad, best wishes to the little family :) hope we can get a few (consented) pics of alizee+baby(+jerry optional) soon

[mot]

That's what I call a lovely article, thanks for translation Bibzàr!

[Backinblack]

Bibzàr
:blink:

[Orion]

I was going to ask him . . . then I said to myself "none of my business"

[grhawk]

Could the name really be angelique and the press thinks hanna-lili or visa versa? The names would sound nearly the same I would think.

[esceka]

Let's just say we're certain of one thing: there's an A in the beginning and there's an I in the end(at leats, something that sounds like the French I or the English E) :mrgreen:

[Mulligan]

Thank you for the news

[SeeMeRot]

I never liked the name Hanna to be honest.......luckily I can just pronounce it Anna (on-a) ....thx for the info Snatcher...

[UK Fan 2003]

That's such a cool article, I agree Mot. Thanks for the translations...

However...I'm really unsure on what to believe at the moment. There's so much speculation on what the baby's name is I don't believe anything now until it has been officially confirmed....this is the same on Alizée getting "married"....I'll believe when it is announed officially...

...is she called Angélique ? Hannah-Lili ? Annabel ? :roll:

[kennythekid]

...and did anyone now when will happen'...i meen the official confirm about the name :roll:

[Jaycubed]

well well, what a delightful name.

Hannah being a name close to my heart for a number of years in the past too. Even better than i could have ever expected, but then again, everything is always better than i could ever expect with concerns to Alizée.

I adore the name, and mot, imagine if it is Chatelain-Jacotey...then both first and surname would be hyphenated!

If this is true though, then i'd be really overjoyed, more so than i am already 8)

[Alizee_China]

Hannah-Lili ，a cool name !

[thaleis]

indeed, in French there are many made up first names carrying one - that one calls "a feature of union"... In addition the H of Hannah is normally not marked (one calls that a H "dumb")... Except if the parents decide to give him a sonoriter anglo-saxone, then it decides as in English :wink:

[thaleis]

It's up to them. The baby can have either one of the names Jacotey or Chatelain. Or even Jacotey-Chatelain.
At least this would be the case in Finland but Im not sure actually because France is so conservative country.

Precisely it has been a bus error for this year in France, a child can be recorded with the marital status under the name of his/her two parents or of only one (that of the mother or the father) or in any direction, that is to say: Châtelain, Jacotet, Jacotet-Châtelain or Châtelain-Jacotet... Then, which do you prefer???

[DavidAlizée]

non, if it was going to be both names, id prefer Jacotey-Chatelain. =)

I would ofc just rather it be "Hannah-Lee Jactotey"

[benficabeatsporto]

I think this was a headline at the voici site: http://www.voici.fr/

http://intralizee.free.fr/voici.jpg

I think that means something like "Alizée and Jérémy are the happy(proud?) parents of little Anny-Lee"

[loveherfromusa]

non, if it was going to be both names, id prefer Jacotey-Chatelain. =)

I would ofc just rather it be "Hannah-Lee Jactotey"

Hannah-Lili Jacotey
Say it 5 times. It just sounds right.
beautiful

[Zoomer]

Cute name... very cute 8)

[DavidAlizée]

non, if it was going to be both names, id prefer Jacotey-Chatelain. =)

I would ofc just rather it be "Hannah-Lee Jactotey"

Hannah-Lili Jacotey

hehe so true!! =)


@Spank, yeah i like that Anny-Lee too. I hopre we get to find out soon. Yet again, why the big secret over the name. crazy!

[Ayan]

Don't be paranoid. There is no secret, the name is known. The journalists just are not entirely sure how to write it since the name was probably given to them in a non-written form. I bet Alizée gets a chuckle when reading all various newspapers speculating about the name. And then, in the future, around the year 2013 or so, Alizée's daughter can laugh too when mommy is showing her the articles. http://img247.echo.cx/img247/5063/smile0yt.gif

[DavidAlizée]

So why doesnt someone come forward and correct the spelling. Is it that hard to give the spelling of the name? :shock:

I mean, come on...

[Snatcher42]

It's only been a handful of days! First, you don't leave the hospital for a few days, then someone told the reporters but it took awhile before it started to appear in papers, now you gotta wait for that whole cycle to run again - info to press, info processed, info printed. I'm sure this isn't intentional secrecy. BTW, another possible spelling: Anilie (from nidalizee).

[DavidAlizée]

I never said it was anything like that. Also, i know girls who have a child and are out of hospital 2 days later. There is nothing stopping the name from being released, IE correct spelling. Not that i care too much about it, im happy whenever she decides to tell the press the spelling.

[Snatcher42]

A few = 2 or 3... and yeah, point is she very well may have told the press the correct spelling as soon as she saw they got it wrong. It just takes time to print things... for the info to "get through the system."

[DavidAlizée]

Yeah, i suppose it might take a while, but i thought we get to know things first lol, never mind. Btw, ive always been told, a couple = 2 and a few is 3.

[Ayan]

There will surely be journalists who will manage to mispell the child's name more often than "Jacotey"

[tern]

Something else to remember: Anny-lee starts with an "A" just like was initially reported!

[Jaycubed]

it's scarily uncanny!

wow, it's cool to see how excited and delirous we can get about all this, it shows the magic of Alizée in it's purest form, awesome. :D

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

ROMEO
[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

JULIET
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

MEGA LOL !!! :mrgreen:

[PayBays]

What the articles ( all of them ) doesn't exspell is her backname

I have only seen her frontname, and not her backname. This isn't weird, but this means they probably didn't had it from Alizée or Jeremy... ( normally they'll say the backname... )

[fallenONE]

At least Hannah-LiLi sounds like Anne-lee

kinda?

o well hmm not much news in the past month eh?

[Isa]

i know someone who knows alizée private. i will ask her and tell you...

[zigabric1]

so is it hannah-lee or anne-lee? Anne right?

[PayBays]

i know someone who knows alizée private. i will ask her and tell you...

are you serious? omg secret connections to Alizée revealed!

People been drinking too much milk lately. :blink:

( for those who don't get it... well... read the board more often ! )

[ArlettyFan]

I don't get it, tell me.

[Orion]

sure, I'll tell you exactly what he means: a while ago this member showed up and said that he met Alizée in a restaurant and he actually had a drink with her. When asked what, he said he had milk and she had a Rum and Coke . . . SO, we asked him aren't you embarrassed now that you think back and . . . . YOU HAD MILK!!!!

That's what I remember of it . . .

[Takran]

so is it hannah-lee or anne-lee? Anne right?

The letter "H" is never pronounced in French, so it's pretty much same difference.

That's aight Akran !

Kinda like my keyboard... It keeps dropping those first letters. :cheesy:



BTW... This week's France Dimanche is supposed to have something about Alizée... Nothing big but atleast she gets mentioned. Or so I read...

[PayBays]

Well let's see what they have. Probably a little article about 5 years back when she released Moi...Lolita ( about the vote thingie we're busy with )

[Orion]

Thanks for the heads up RMJ . . .

Paybays, I am hoping that something more 'meaty' is written . . . lets cross our doigts
