I too pulled my name from a Marion Zimmer Bradley book... Senara is the name of one of the young sisters of the lead character in The Forest House.

Senara is just a name in passing and not much is mentioned about her in the book, but I liked the name and thought I'd use it.

Mine is simply my name. I'm not creative enough to think of a really cool name like everyone else has...

Mine is a shortening of a name given to me by my native american re-enacting friends... The full name is Walks In Shadows!

I earned this name during winter war games many winters ago!

Those of you that play in the 18th century will have a grasp of it.

Mine is from one of the vocalists in the 80's band Quarterflash-Rindy Ross. She also is known for playing the saxaphone. Anyhow I heard that name and thought it was very different. Good thread jime307 thumbs_up.gif

I just used my own first name and added Phoenix after it. I use Phoenix because of all the diffuculties and troubles that seem to come my way. I've perservered through so many so I chose the Phoenix because it keeps coming back to life after what one would think it was dead and gone.
Its also my ren faire name.

Very simple indeed, I live in connecticut and I am currently studying the bardic grade. I should have come up with something more exciting I guess. And my badger avatar is one of my guides.
