- — Haydée ! quel adorable nom ! Il y a donc des femmes qui s’appellent véritablement Haydée autre part que dans les poèmes de lord Byron ?
- — Certainement ; Haydée est un nom fort rare en France, mais assez commun en Albanie et en Épire ; c’est comme si vous disiez, par exemple, chasteté, pudeur, innocence ; c’est une espèce de nom de baptême, comme disent vos Parisiens.
- "Haidee -- what an adorable name! Are there, then, really women who bear the name of Haidee anywhere but in Byron’s poems?"
- "Certainly there are. Haidee is a very uncommon name in France, but is common enough in Albania and Epirus; it is as it you said, for example, Chastity, Modesty, Innocence, -- it is a kind of baptismal name, as you Parisians call it."
