Where Do Your Nicknames Come From?

Oops, Mike! doesn't sound good.

I wanted a good strong name to use on this and other boards that would be unique enough for me to carry over. I do believe I found it.

Amongh other things, I'm a history and mythology buff and have finally begun to expand from Egyptian and Roman/Greek mythology into Celtic/Gaelic mythology.

When I found out Agrona was the Celtic goddess of war I was sold. I'm a gentle and affectionate person with playful, if aggressive tendancies and a dark side.

Borimar obviously from Boromir of LOTR. Hollywood so rarely you could almost say never, has men I find handsome. I don't like that GQ look. Years ago when I was in highschool my father described my kind of man perfectly: Viking, neanderthal, wreslter wannabe. Long blond or red hair, bearded/goateed, ruggedly handsome, tall, burly, and powerfull looking. Sean Bean as Boromir filled that role beautifully. I've not seen cinematic eye candy like that before.

Anyway, that's how my name came about.

I'll have to agree with you there, Agrona, Sean Bean WAS gorgeous as Boromir, probably the first movie role that I actually ( when he died ) liked his character and didn't want to shove him off of a cliff somewhere.

I actually liked Aragorn, too, Legolas was yummy for my daughter, though, she's the one who went over him.

You know, Lil, my husband said something to me a couple of weeks ago that I still reluctantly admit to. He's convinced that my subconscious mind chose this name for me. His statement was, "Agrona Borimar eh? 'Ah-Groanfor-Boromir.' (you've got to think southern accent when you say this)"

Bratman. I could see his point all too easily. I told him as much but pointedly said that it was completely unintentional. Good thing is that if he gives me shite about Boromir going forward I can use the subconscious scapegoat.

Lol, I know exactly what you mean! I have the accent, too, kinda inbetween West Virginia hillbilly and Florida cracker as I have lived exactly 1/2 my life in each place, lol. but I have to say that when we come back from family reunions, the WVA part gets reeeeealy thick again!

Heehee and as for being a bratman, aren't they all?

Lil,

You forgot "By God" when you mentioned West Virginia(as in West "By God" Virginia)!
