Faire Names

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

I've already lined out a name for my friend...Sir Stumpy McDickschitcken... although if everyone calls him that, he may not be my friend for long. 

Fraser that sounds like a name my hubby would come up with!  Hhhmmmm.... I see trouble brewing, lol.

Wait till you meet my bro... it fits him well.  I'll just have to make sure he passes out before i do. He might wake up with extra (sharpie) tattoos or decorated with the vilest things i can find.  That'll teach him to get his garb together.   I make a good best friend, wot?

OMG!!! Is he hot?

They also call me BlueZipCode.... I'm sure it's an inside joke of SOME sort....

Hot? Sure, i guess, for a tattoo'd troll.  My bro is a good man, even though some people call refer to him as "The Violator" and some women feel the need to take a shower after he looks at them.  LOL. He's my Shield Brother, a true friend and someone i can trust to watch my back. 

it may seem that i talk sh*t about him but if i'm not talking trash to you, then i don't like you.

66669 sounds like something fun that happened at Faire... LOL. 

[Blue66669]

Um...this is embarrassing but I honestly thought 66669 was your zip code! So..we just started calling you that.

Chalk it up to a blonde moment. 

LOL, OIKNOW!!!! I had a good laugh back in TN when you guys told me about that. I loves you guys so damn much...

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

When I first started going to faire in garb, around 13 years ago, I decided my name would be Lady Alathea (pronounced A-lay-thee-ah).  However, I would introduce myself as that, but never would remember to answer to it.  After a while of people looking at me like I was crazy, and Steve saying, "Ren, they're talking to you," I figured that wasn't going to work.

At that time, I mentioned that I loved seeing men in kilts at the faire and I thought Steve would look nice in one.  Though he's English, our last name is a sept of either the Buchanan or Davidson clans.  If you've ever seen the Buchanan tartan, you know that you can spot it a mile away - bright reds, yellows, greens, oranges.  Steve decided that if he was going to wear a kilt, he'd make sure everybody saw him wearing the kilt, so he chose the Buchanan tartan.  I found a bodice and skirt in the same tartan on Ebay many years ago, won it, and we decided that we would be Buchanans.

But then that thing about me forgetting to answer to another name.  So we came up with Lady Renee and Lord Stephen Buchanan.  And now, no matter what garb we wear, pirate, noble, Scottish, peasant, we still go by those names.  Although I find a lot of people refer to me as "Lady Renee," but call my hubby "Steve."

And since Wenchie told me about Blue, I also started calling her blue zipcode and have no idea what it really means.

[AnnMarie B]

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 !

I didn't get a pin  , but he gave my kids Dragon's teeth which they loved!! Everybody knows and loves Monte.

[JackGonzo, MD]

I think blue is the only one that refeers to me by Jack...but that's cause of the forum. (JackGonzo came from having the Jack hairline and the Gonzo tattoo)...other then that no name as of yet other then the new guy/the guy at Excalibur Leather

[Ginette]

So many fun faire name stories!     Too bad I don't have a faire name story to share and my forum name is ... my name.

[Molden]

My Faire Name was bestowed on me by (then) Capn' Bonin (Bones) M'Crack on my 1st weekend at TRF.

He asked me these five - - - NO! 3! questions:

What is your favorite color? (Blue)

What is your Sun Sign? (Libra)

What is your favorite hobby? (Sculpting clay figures)

He puzzled on it a bit, thought of a clever tie-in between my hobby an' th' M'Cracks (never joined, that's another tale) an' came up with Molden.

It stuck! In fact, he was surprised (happily) that I'd kept it when we talked last season.

[Ronald the Bald]

My name is Ron and I have a slight amount of hair loss.

I searched Yahoo and Google and found that no one else every used the name before. My real name is very common, there are 3 in the local phone book. So by being Ronald the Bald, I know any reference I see has to be me.

I do get some strange looks when introducing myself because with a hat and long hair I don't really look bald.

[LadyElizabeth]

I got my faire name of Red at a ren fair sitting on a hammock with my twin and our best friend.  We all decided that since we'd been coming to faire for many years all together that we all needed fair names...  So we got drunk on mulled wine in a hammock and decided my name should be Red due to my hair and preference for that color, Rachel should be Rumy due to her love of rum and alcohol and so that our names together would be RedRum... and we named our friend Moby Dick because that's what he thinks with most often, and he is a very very unusual guy.

[-:-Juju-:-]

I don't really remember how it happened.

My first night with/camping with McLotofus when I was dating Spikey, everyone asked my name but it seemed that drunken Rennies have a low attention span and awful hearing (I would pick late at night to show up for my first introduction..toting a case of beer and lots of cleavage..I guess that was enough for y'all to like me because I'm still around!). My real name, "Julie", was hard to understand I guess lol...so I became a shortened, 'cuter' version.. "Juju". I was also dubbed "bebos" and "ta tas" by Gwennie and Bonny, I believe lol. But juju has landed as the main name.

And here I am. Everyone seems to call me that, now. Not just Rennies..it seems to be a common shortened name for "julie".

That's my story and i'm stickin' to it


Heck, half the time I cant remember any of my wenches' names..I only know them by their 'top shelves!' because that's all I can remember after the Loki, Rum, and Mead 

[Taffy Saltwater]

I was reading a book which had two pirate brothers w/the last name of SaltWater and I liked that.  Taffy because it's one of my favorite confections and just goes with saltwater so well.

[ragged tiger]

I post under the name MacLager Jonnson--no significance behind the name other than I like to wear kilts, play the bagpipes, and consume good beer.

Our group, the_Kilt_Troupe, attends TRF one weekend every year.  We change our faire names to coincide with the themed weekend.  This year we'll be attending during "Pirate Adventure" weekend, hence my name will be Quartermaster Jacques Rogering, SSN Uranus.

Our clan runs about 8-10 strong and we comprise solely of men, so our names run somewhere between peculiar, and creatively profane.

[Mouse]

I don't have a faire name... sad. Most of the friends I went with for so long weren't die hards. I went with a group of die hards this past year though... none of them called me anything unusual... fairy was floating around but thats because some of them didn't actually know my name and when they found out they opted to call me Leigh. I will have a name this year as I am in the German court... and I am certain I will be camping so I might gain another name as well.

This year Leigh, we shall do right by you...pick a name, any name, and I shall lend my considerable oratorial weight behind your campaign amongst the camp.


My name is less...wonderous. It finally stuck in my bid to make it stick, so there is that. I'm called Mouse because of my mannerisms, when it comes to food (I horde and eat and peck and eat and horde)..and I never am full. Full of energy and quick to jump on anything that gets my attention....or fearful of. I'm small and have brown hair...so it started as Field Mouse, Zaimoku Nezumi...(wood mouse in japanese for my asian zodiac)..plus I own a fedora and I highly resmeble Mouse from the first Matrix Movie..plus my friends say I have the sexual prowes of a mouse...nonstop and spontaneous.

[KiltedPrivateer]

and only because not everyone knows my real name...lol

I know your real name *Evil Laughter*

I don't really have a faire name either.  My persona name was made up from my real name with my bio dad's last name added in order to give me a spanish name.  My character is a Spanish Privateer.  For the forum I chose to combine my character type with my love of the kilt and voila - I am now known around the camp grounds as Kilted Privateer or KP for short.  Works for me.  Especially since when put on the spot I have to stop and think about my persona name - add alcohol and I may not remember it all (o:

[The Captain]

Eh, I've seem to have gained a followin' as The Cap'n. Mostly cause no one can tell my gender, and I much prefer it that way, really.
