[Namron] What's in a name

Only possible problem I see with that is that we already have a Magnus in Namron.  Not that many people EVER call Ace that.

However that doesn't mean someone else can't call themselves Magnus, just that there might be confusion at times.  We have several Duncans (in different spellings) in the area, as an example.

Annabelle
(and there's another Annabelle who's been coming to archery practice-but I think that's her "real" (legal) name)

I think Magnus has a nice ring to it (having a Nordic
Magnus in our mundane family tree)

God be with you in every pass. Jesus be with you on every hill. Spirit be with you in every stream, headland, ridge and law, each sea and land, each moor and meadow, lying down and rising up, in the trough of the waves or on the crest of the billow. Each step of the journey you go, go with God.
