Fenris or "Fenrir" is Loki's son, a massive wolf, in Norse Mythology.

I just found out. Lindale is a city in Texas. When I entered the BD I never thought long about my username, and the first thing that popped into my mind--Ainulindale--was where I based my name on. It remains one of the most interesting pieces I've ever read.

Only, back then I wasn't sure how to spell Ainulindale, and I thought it was too long. When I collected my wits I wanted to shift the name to Diwata, the Philippine counterpart of "elf", or something else closer to home or would make more sense, but too late. Oh well. What's in a name anyway.

<------ My handle has no special, mystical meaning at all - totally mundane & boring in fact.

I think it came about after watching an old Clint Eastwood film playing a character called "A Man With No Name"; and then reading the cast-credits on the end of The Two Towers film and seeing a character called "Orc - uncredited"

Then my brain started to work (yikes, how frightening is that!) and I put the two together and I offer the world "TheOrcWithNoName".

So much for a higher-education!
