SC - Pigs, or whatever, for Pennsic

[Alderton, Philippa]

I love the naming threads. I find it fascinating to see how people develop their
personnas and names.

Well I'm mainly Swedish although I look more Irish and I was very interested in
Vikings
when I started. Being that my last name is Gunter and I'd been called that most of my
life I simply put that in its proper place at the front of my name and since my real
father's
name is John I put that at the end. Hence: Gunthar Jonsson. Passed first time.
Now nobody but co-workers and my mother call me Michael.

(A side note: when I got to the Barony I was going to live in there were tons of
Vikings
running around. So, being the contrary galoot I am, I stayed Swedish but became 14th
Cent.)

Please forgive me but...ouch!

That's okay, I frequently forget my own.

Yers,

Gunthar Jonsson
Neither German nor Viking
