My screen name is inspired by my fascination of anything to do with the marine world.

My real name is Lewis, and I do not have a clue where that comes from or what it means, any ideas anyone?

Oceanic: Lewis is a variation of Louis, old German for "reknown warrior". I thought your screenname would have something to do with all those South Pacific islands.

Perhaps Old Navy of Numenor-Marcus.

(Sorry, Enca, I couldn't resist.)

My name is originally from one of these name generators but somehow I liked it and it really matches with me....
Dûrfuiniel means Daughter of dark night and I think it matches twice 'cause on one hand it's elvish (sindarin) and on the other hand it means daughter of dark night and I love the night and those fantasy night creatures as vampires etc...

Well, with a book on hand, i'll try to answer this...

Lewis
English Version of Louis (French)
Means:"Famous Warrior"...

Hope this helps...

My real name is Samuel, which means "God has heard". The Elf-warrior is a nickname Sam Gamgee adopted after hearing Gorbag describing him as probably a large elf warrior. Samwise means "halfwise, simple".

It's called first and greatest; is found between Luke and Matthew; tells how to do what you do in spirit and truth.
