I'd like to see the look on his teachers' faces

Ben ,once Marcus, has FINALLY chosen his new Viking
name......


Geirmárr inn seki


Which breaks down like this:

The first element Geir- is identical to the Old
Icelandic geirr, "spear."

The second element -marr comes from the OW.Norse
adjective mærr, "famous, glorious, great", derived in
turn from the proto-Scandinavian máriR "to
distinguish, to praise, to commend".


inn seki -  Found in The Old Norse Name by Geirr Bassi
Haraldsson page 27 means "outlaw, exile"






Just thought everyone should know his new name for
future use. See everyone Saturday!


Lady Katheryn
Shire of Loch Ruadh
