[BG-heralds] Throwing out the first orb at the game

[Wendy Erisman]

I didn't use the acronym; the client did. That's part of why I'm having trouble responding to his request.

I am only guessing, but based on his desired name think he means "given name" di "given name" di "given name" "family name".

Best,
Gwenllian

When you use an acronym it might help the first time you use it to write it like this  g-- d-- g-- d-- g-- f--   "gdgdgf"  I for one am at a loss for its meaning.
