[Ansteorra] Nicknames in the SCA-starting a conversation

[Tina Michael]

I was thinking the same thing, we are doing this for a bit of fun.
Otherwise we would have been drawn to Civil War reenacting ( they are total
authenticity notzies) When you think of historical personages from 'our'
era, like Erik the Red, oh hey that is a nickname, too. My reasoning is
that no one calls me by my full name unless it is my mother and I am in
trouble....

Tina
happy not to be in trouble most of the time
