[Ansteorra] Nicknames in the SCA-starting a conversation

[Uillicc]

My name is a diminutive form and actually pretty easy....  Phonics 
having not worked for me, and being visual anyways- I aided a little in 
the mispronunciations but after having it researched and registered I've 
tried to help correct that---  there is no Will spelling in early 
Gaelic, and the name being adopted rather than native to the region, its 
proper 16th century spelling is Uillecc Macuillicc dubh...   the dubh 
meaning "black"/"dark"  is mobile and can be used in front "Black" 
Uillecc,   Uillecc "The black"....  it infers that my father had at 
least 2 sons and was of the mindset that George Foreman used in naming 
HIS sons...  either not very creative OR very fond of his own name....

Uillecc dubh Macuillicc
