I think Lloyd realized that his name was acceptable to the heralds and decided
to do the "go back in time" thing. In fact when he actively played, the date was
always exactly 700 years ago.

My name is similar. Mundanely I'm "Michael Gunter" and my father's name is John.
Since for most of my life I've been called some variation of "Gunter" I just
went the ancestorial route and became Gunthar, Jons-son.

I had to go with GunthAr since GunthEr is German and I'm a happy Swede.
