    I would have thought the prettiest sounding American word would be Massachusetts. (Pronounced: mass a shoe sits.)

    For me, “Money” is the prettiest sounding word.

    There are plenty of words better than those, like “borborygmus”, “taradiddle”, or “cattywampus”. Louie might also like “maltipoo”.

    I think one of the others voted best sounding by non-English speakers was “aluminum.” It is kind of fun to say.

    The only problem is that lavender is from the Latin lavandula.

    Tolkien once said that the most beautiful word he knew was “cellar door.” I guess, if you don’t pronounce the Rs, it’s not bad.Sounds like an Elfin name to me.

    My doggie would vote for crinkle, as in the crinkle of a doggie snack package wrapper.

    Penny said “schnapps” is fun to say, and I agree…

    How did that manage to hit the ground? At our house it would have been snagged in mid-air.

    Well, then it’s settled – I’ll name my daughter Lavender Plop.

    Do Americans count as English-speaking or not?

    Plop may sound nice to you in this case, Louie, but I can think of an unpleasant plop…

    Good evening, Crew!

    Like Shika said above, Louie, “plop” can sound fun—in certain contexts. As for the others? Oops.

    ’Evening, Crew.
