Faire Names

[bellevivre]

Who gave you your faire name, and what's the story behind it?

For whatever reason, neither Hubby or I have faire names... he's been 'around' much longer than I have...

Just wondering about this phenomena that's passed us up!

(And yeah, Ive got an idea of a name I might like, but now everyone knows me by my proper name, I dunno- lol and it kinda doesn't seem right to just PICK a name, when we don't do personas, etc...)

Well, I got a faire name a long time ago, but it never stuck. They called me "Shelf", well, due to my large "tracks of land", and the fact that I have the ability to hold numerous untold treasures within the keepe of my bodice.

People call me Blue mostly, but that's a forum thing.

Shelf just doesn't seem right.


I'm a Fraser of Lovat... i just added a "t" as to not insult my cousin Simon.

I went by my real name for quite a few years out of faire, but since having this name bestowed onto me I've been using it for around 4 years now.  The story behide it well, lets just say I plead the fifth on the grounds that it IS self incriminating.  Only one person on these boards were there that weekend and I haven't seen Koolagh post in a very long time so I thinnk I'm safe, lol.

My name is Theodore Hief, or T. Hief which spells Thief.

Merlin...well ...  because I am Merlin.
Even in my kilt...I will always be Merlin.

 Hey Bellevivre! I am living proof that you CAN pick a Faire Name and have it stick! Martin Montgomery at your sevice at any faire I attend and irl Monte Martin. Just pick one name and as you attend more Faires the people will add "Extras" as they see fit. Some of the other "Extras" I have picked up are The Marshall of McLotofus, The Lord of the Dance (Please Don't Ask) and Hey,Big Guy!

Not to mention when you hand out pins with MM on them...people remember ya !

Anything would be better than some names i can come up with... or ones that i've called people on occasion.

Hell, some of the names I've been called... As*hole being a nice one.

The name I was given @ TRF and it has stuck, is "Boobies". I got it the year I worked for Goblin King Leather, by the Goblin Queen. It started as a joke because she would come into the shop each morning and drum on the girls (Will Smith, Wild Wild West). Before I knew it, everyone I met that year began calling me by that name, and they still do. Recently I have been called Wyckdblyss at faire, but that is from the Forum, and myspace...and only because not everyone knows my real name...lol

[*Teach*]

Um well... Mine is hard to explain
At some point someone started calling me Teach
I think it's because I'm a teacher...
In reality, my absolute fav pirate to read about is Edward Teach (AKA Blackbeard). When I originally started trying to do the pirate thang that was what I was going for. I realized quickly that I wasn't going ever quite pull off the Blackbeard look but the nickname stuck.
It suits me

*I also get called "That Rum Guy" quite a lot... dunno why*

[wyckdblyss]

Now why would they call you the Rum Guy, Teach...I can't seem to figure that one out 

[bellevivre]

I may have to make up some favors- goodness knows I have time- but what sort of favor would Doxy McMoxie give out? 

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

Do you want an honest answer or just let the wise cracks roll?

[eloquentXI]

A lotta people either call me Elle or Elo because of my forum name, which has been my screenname on many different things for several years. But more than being called that, people call me Meg cause my name is Megan. I dunno, I've never had much of a character because I am who I am, whether at faire or elsewhere!
