Haha! Nice coincidence ninja, as I read through this list this morning I thought the same thing.

I can't see Lommy as a rapper though.

While looking over Brin's nice list there I'm reminded of how much I like Mister Underhill's "Dread Horseman."

Thanks. Couldn't think of anything that worked well with quantum or skeptic.

How does one get around to choosing a personal title? I can't decide on one!

Well in Noldorian terms choosing a PT is Essecilme and if you can not decide I would sugest waiting since it is unchangeable. You will surely know the right one when it occurs (lámatyáve) - yep I have been reading Morgoth's ring again... .


For myself, when I daydreamed of what I would choose, I knew I wanted a quotation since I was a literature student and my screen name does not lend itself to some of the superb puns that some people have and I did not have the wit to think of someof the ones that reference Tolkien like "Drummer in the Deep" or "Alive without breath" which is just so perfect for a wight!!! I did want a supernatural element too so I ended up with short list of 3 one of which was taken (and it is much more appropriate for it's holder). So it was either Pilgrim Soul or Bewildering Ghost. The latter more accurate, the former more aspirational. I could almost translate Pilgrim soul into Elvish but didn't incase it wasn't an accurate translation. Pretentious and ungrammatical is a bad combination..... I try to limit myself to one or the other at any given time.....

So basically, try to find something that means something to you, or amuses you and which you live with for the rest of your death (in a manner of speaking).

Thanks for your help, Mith.

Would it be illegal for me to ask here what people thought of a few titles I was considering?
