Well I must say I do appreciate all this feedback! I wasn't really thinking that deep about the name, I've usually used MatthewM on various boards, but I'm bored of it. There's nothing wrong with it, I do like it, but I always wanted a Tolkien name instead. It was all the more incentive to change it when I found that I could use the name of my favorite character. The new username is (you might have seen me post on it before)
Peregrin Took. And who could argue the greatness of that name?
