What made you choose your name?

**English assassin** · 11-21-2005, 10:57

Mine is from the Jerry Cornelius books by Michael Moorcock. He is the English Assassin, (in fact that's the title of book 2) amongst a lot of other things.

I use Jerry Cornelius on other sites. If I was reregistering here I'd probably go with Jerry here too, but I'm used to being EA and its not worth the bother.

I am, in fact, AdrianII. AdrianI was shot on his way to work. There is an AdrianIII in the works, we are honing his taste, aim, language and lethal delivery skills as we speak.

It is one of the strange nicknames my mother used to call me (one of the others was "Iwan the Terrible"...go figure). Also, I like the sound and meaning of the word and it seemed quite appropriate for this forum anyway. I was actually surprised to find no-one registered as 'Brutus' before.

Hey All;

Dagobert was one of the last Merovingian (Visigothic)
kings who was murdered to allow the succession of the
Franks. Ol'boy took a spear in his eye. Then again, if he did
not, perhaps Poitiers would have never happened...

I thought Dagobert and the Merovingian line were Franks... that is what I read in a biography of Charlemagne.

Merovingians were franks. Mérové was the king of the Franks, and he was in no way a Visigoth.

Meneldil is a character from LotR

I chose my name from Marcus Claudius Marcellus (268-208BC), a Roman general sometimes known as the 'Sword of Rome'. I had just finished reading a bit about him and he sounded like a pretty good general.
