URGENT!! Cultural question:
I need to translate an article's heading from Spanish into English that is causing me some difficulties. The heading is "Manolo y la valkiria", which means "Manolo and the Valkyrie". The term "Valkyrie" is used in this heading because the article deals with a man called Manolo, who sees a Nordic woman. He is Spanish, so he is not used to see blonde women and this Nordic one seems to him like a viking goddess such as the Valkyrie. I imagine that for people who live in countries where blonde women are abundant this does not happen, but the opposite. If they see a brunette woman, it would seem to them like an "exotic" one. In Spain, young blonde women are usually thought of as a "goddess", so does anyone have an idea of how to translate the idea of "Valkyrie" into English?
Thank you very much in advance

Does this sound strange?
If your read this heading: "On goofs, smarty-pants and smart-asses", does it sound strange? Is it possible to use "smarty-pants and smart-asses" as synonyms or do they just mean the same?
Thanks in advance!

"This is one about drivers" or "One about drivers"?
I have these two options for a title. Are both of them correct or is it impossible to just say "One about drivers"?
Thanks in advance

"The wrath of Lord" or "Lord's wrath"?
Context: The title of a text about slow dance that mentions that this kind of dance provokes the anger of the Lord. The original title in Spanish is "Baile agarrado e ira de Dios" that could be more or less translated as "slow dance and ***(one of the options in the title)."
Thanks!

URGENT. What proper names come to your mind when you read a story about "chavs"?
I need to know this in order to adapt a short translation from Spanish into English. I know that answering this question can be offensive for some people, but in Spanish we have some prototypical names that evoke in our mind the image of a person similar to a "chav". These names could be for example Jessica, Jennifer or Jonathan. I need to replace them in my translation so that native speakers of English could imagine a person like that when reading the story I'm translating.
Thanks!

Is there any prototypical name for chavs? (male and female)
I'm looking for a proper name that when you google it you find an image of a chav, the most prototypical ones.
In Spanish, when you google "la Jessi" or "el Jony" I'm sure you will find a picture of the typical Spanish chavs.
Thanks!

Is the order of this sentence correct?
In the first part of the coordination, it is correctly written...
Or I should write: It is written correctly?
Thanks!
