My memory fails so frequently, but not on this one. And... since when has it been almost two years?

Ah, but once, twice, even thrice, that hardly represents a telling trait or idiosyncracy, especially given all the sonnets he's posted recently. He really needs to produce more limericks to deserve that name. Unless you name him ironically.

Forsaking the Gauls, here's some Roman nomenclature:

Hookbill: Pundit vis comica

Feanor: Frivola

Jenny Hallu: Connubia Blissfilia

Roa : Matrimonia

narfforc: Parodum NonFinitum, or, more simply, parodix

Ah. I had considered "limn" as a possible derivation for Limerix in addition to limericks, which would fit our Rohan Innkeeper, as he does have a way with words, illuminating or describing things, and it is an archaic word, which he plays with there.

Limnerix?

Or just a plain old spelling conundrum of -icks or ics and -x. Then we could have

Essex : Ex

Of course, we would have to divise a way to differentiate an Essex from a Middlesex, should we ever have a member of that name. Would the Middle one be Sx? Now there's the rub.

Eomer - Kiltix

Lalaith - Amoria

Mithalwen - Magna Maternalia

Fea - Artemisia (seemed right for a noted Hunter and Dark Lady)

Kath - Mataharia

Cailin - Orangina (sorry, Dutch pun, couldn't resist)

Lord, Werewolf lengends have a massive trend towards the female ... let's see if I can redress this...

The Saucepan Man - Prolix

Kuruharan - Luminarix

the phantom - Pompeius Magnus

This is wicked unsettling. I woke up a half hour ago thinking of the plant out of nowhere.
