The last part of my name, Redbeard, is referring to my Irish heritage and how I am really an Irishman at heart. The first part of my name was a miss-hap on the keyboard (I was too hasty); it was originally suppose to be Gorin which means "thin tall man" in Comanche. So my name was originally supposed to mean: “thin tall man from Ireland” a good dwarf sounding name, but instead I got a name meaning: “dwarf from Ireland”. Still, that’s not too bad.
