It started out as my name in the SCA 'lo these many years gone. . .
|
You too! A friend once convinced me to help out with an SCA event. I wasn't a formal member, but I played "Niv bar Efron".
Niv is the first name of a prominent ancestor in my family,
bar means "son of" (a la Mac or Mc) and
Efron is a surname that appears several times in my family history.
My online persona was originally Natowarhead (two childhood nicknames slammed together). But after I graduated High School, I felt a name that would not put me on an FBI watch list would be better.
Niv was taken on the server I originally started on so I changed it to a misspelled variation I once found while filling out my family tree.
Ironically enough, after it was chosen I found out that "Neef" is an actual name; albiet a rare one.
