NK - Re: Newcomers & Where is everybody?

[Vanessa Goins]

Lady Debroa and I are coming.
There are a three different ways to go with SCA last names.  
1.  Patronyms/Matronyms (sp?)= Son of daughter of
2.  Place Names= Where you're from
3.  Epithets= What you look like what you do etcetera.

Eg; but hopefully not too obvious
1.  Judah ben Hur = Judah, son of Hur
    Debroa bat joseph = Debroa, daughter of Joseph

2.  Malcolm of Loch Greymist = Malcolm from the lake of Greymist
    Isabela del Bosque = Isabela of or from, the woods

3.  John the Plain
    Eric the Red
    Popeye the sailor.....

But, I digress.  Come to the meeting and you give me the pie in the
face there.
