A New Name For BeornWulfWer

[Beorn]

I am deciding to change my name. I would be more than willing to accept your advice in what I should change it to.

[Treffie]

Yay!! We get to decide! :thumb001:

Any particular theme Beorn?

[Beorn]

Any particular theme Beorn?

No particular theme as such, but it should remain within the realm of my meta-ethnic identity. ie: Brythonic/West Saxon.

[Brynhild]

Will Pommy Git do? :D:p

[Treffie]

How about this Beorn?

[Lady L]

I voted The Cautious Kelt...

but I'm not sure ...we will miss BWW ...:(

[Beorn]

Looks good. :)

Can you name a particularly notable character from that kingdom?

[Æmeric]

Whatever you change it to, try to keep it reasonably short, nothing longer then 6 or 7 letters. And something easy to spell. How about Avon, it's an English river with a Welsh name, flows through your hometown, is only 4 letters & easy to remember the spelling. Or you can be creative & be Ævon.:thumb001:

If it wasn't for those pesky politicians dividing us Somerset folk from the Gloucester folk and the Bristol bumpkins, I would say that was a good suggestion, but Avon is a by-word for absolutely nothing these days and is therefore nothing more than a quaint word I have educated my children with whilst crossing the river-river Avon.

I didn't add this to the final poll, but perhaps Æcwellan? I know how to use 'alt-146' now ;)

[Treffie]

Come to think of it, I like the Somerset theme.

Have got a couple on my head

Mendepe

Monith

Edit, just realised, it's a bit too similar to Mynydd/Menydd!

[Barreldriver]

I voted other, but I'm bad at coming up with names.

[Gooding]

How about Sumorsaete Cymro?

[Psychonaut]

Nooooooooo, don't chaaaaaaaange!!!

[Red Skull]

Change it to one word, and if you must have two words then let it be short.

Haefodmann Blæc Heorte is out of the question. The Cautious Kelt is fine if you remove the 'The'.

[Maelstrom]

I vote for BBW, it's much easier to remember than BWW. ;)

[MarcvSS]

OberstGruppenFührer...:D

[Red Skull]

OberstGruppenFührer...:D
Why not Reichsführer? :thumb001:

[MarcvSS]

Why not Reichsführer? :thumb001:
Because he's a mere mod... No senior mod or an admin.:D

[Stossy]

Wat Tyler

Mr. T.Wat :D

[SuuT]

Bad idea. He will then, by default, have to move to America and start selling beauty goo to aging women.

[Loki]

Adolf Hitler

[Stossy]

Adolf Hitler

I lol'd :p

[Rudy]

Your new name should reflect your joking nature, xxxxx, the Cautious Kelt.

[Tolleson]

Sausage! :D

[Manifest Destiny]

I am deciding to change my name. I would be more than willing to accept your advice in what I should change it to.

I've been reading about our new "friends" at the Arabs-who-want-to-be-white forum, so I'd suggest you change your name to BeornPANFWer.

[Birka]

I voted other. I like your name the way it is.

[Fortis in Arduis]

BeornWulfWer is perfectly fine.

[Aemma]

Nooooooooo, don't chaaaaaaaange!!!

I agree with Psy!

And good gods, what's with the spelling?!! If it gets too bloody complicated I'll just end up calling you Beorny anyway!! :rolleyes:

If you are to change it, then I think a nice simple but classy name like "Somerset" would do just nicely. Very manly, dignified, and easy to write!! Gee, I could even picture you with a pipe and fine whiskey with such a name....and perhaps even a cardigan! :eek::eek::eek: :D :tongue

:cool:...Aemma

[Æmeric]

In all fairness it took me quite a while to get accustomed to BeornWulfWer. 12 letters long, with 2 uppercase W in the middle - quite disrupted when trying to type it out.:rolleyes2: You should let it be out of consideration for those of us who finally mastered typing it out with ease.

As for 'Haefodmann Blæc Heorte', if you change it to that I will remove you from my friends & contacts list. Haefodmann Blæc Heorte is just way to long & clumbersome to bother with.

[Rudy]

I have no problem with Haefodmann Blæc Heorte because I just use cut and paste.

[Birka]

Cut and Paste, good forum name. :D

[Æmeric]

I have no problem with Haefodmann Blæc Heorte because I just use cut and paste.
Cut & paste is a cop out. It should be reserved for large amounts of text or for urls. Or for some of those really ackward Polish names, the ones with lots of consonants but short on vowels.:rolleyes:

[Aemma]

Cut and Paste, good forum name. :D

:rotfl:

[Treffie]

What does Haefodmann Blæc Heorte mean?

How about Beorn Again?

[Red Skull]

Hefner black heart?

[Beorn]

What does Haefodmann Blæc Heorte mean?

'Haefodd' is head and 'mann' needs no explaining.

It's literal translation is 'Captain Black Heart.'


How about Beorn Again?

I like it. Made me laugh. But not a name I want.

[Susi]

Beorny!

[HawkR]

Whan Koff:D (Say it fast:p)

[Absinthe]

Ok, so...since you seem to be undecided, here's my two cents:

We have Lyfing and Mrs Lyfing, Psychonaut and Mrs Psychonaut, and so on and so forth....you know where I'm getting at, already...

So how'bout you make the difference and revive those marvellous matriarchical traditions, and call yourself:

Mr. Ceallach ? :D

For one thing, she is going to love it :love:, and surely you'll love how she reciprocates all that affection you show her in public :wink

[Lady L]

Well, I see you are still BWW ....:D so I was wondering are you going to remain..? Or you still thinking on it ...

[Jägerstaffel]

I always called you Bjorn and bjorny...

[Sol Invictus]

I vote for Gomer Pyle.

[Ulf]

Barnaby Jones.

[Jamt]

What was that island you lived on for so long? Why not use it?

[SuuT]

Actually, I really like your present moniker.



If t'ain't broke, then don't fix it.

[Loki]

I have a question ... how does one pronounce BeornWulfWer? :D

[SuuT]

(Someone will correct me if I am wrong)


It is pronouned as spelled, phoentically. WIth the "W's" sounding as "V's".

[Beorn]

I have a question ... how does one pronounce BeornWulfWer? :D

In the words of Roy Walker: "Say what you see".

The 'W's' are pronounced as they are in present English, though. (Sorry, SuuT :D)

Cool. :thumb001:

It would be good to hear you say it via voice recording. :D

[Æmeric]

You might consider making the Ws lower case instead of uppercase. Beornwulfwer.

[SuuT]

The 'W's' are pronounced as they are in present English, though. (Sorry, SuuT :D)


Ahhhhhhh...Ughhhhhhhhhhhh... I'd argue this in so far as O.E. and O.N. were nearly indistiguishable from one another at the time of said Phonetics.


But whatever: keep your damn Moniker. It's cool :D

[Inese]

Beowulf and Grendel is a sage! Call yourself Grendel!? :D

New name:
Avon is a lovely English name, but it reminds me too much of the Avon cosmetics they used to sell door to door in the US. They also sold costume jewelry. They had good products, but whenever the name comes up I think of the old TV ad where they show a woman ringing a doorbell, ding dong, and saying Avon calling.
I use the name Arundel, because it is a good English name, and I like the sound of it. I have Arundels in my English ancestry.

I was hoping they hadn't heard of the Avon ladies in England. Would have been funny if BWW had selected it.:D

[SuuT]

So you go ahead and choose "Twat Tyler" (or wahtever????) :rolleyes: Come on Beorn.............
