I have thought and thought and thought and I cannot find a name that I like so I was thinking you Sirs and Ladies could help me out..so lets play..whoever comes up with the name I decide to use, I will buy you a beverage of your choosing at faire either Opening or AHE weekend. The the game begin



BTW to give you an idea of the garbs I wear, I have  barbarian garb and I have a basic  velvet and lace court dress from Fair Paire..the barbarian outfit can be seen on my facebook page and the other can be seen at faire pair website under the dresses..mine looks like the one all the way at the bottom..red but with black lace sleeves with red roses.

Don't feel too bad, I don't have a faire name and I've been out there for eleven plus years :D

then again, does "MEDIC!" count? ;)

I neither have one either, but I think Broadside is appropriate...for obvious reasons.

But Angela, without meeting you I bud thee...Valhalla.

Broadside may not be willing to share.

Hi, Angie! You might be inspired by this thread on character names:

http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=8626.0

Or think about things you love . . . fr'instance, my faire name is drawn from a Yeats poem. :-)
Garb: lovingly hand-washed, gently pressed, and hung in climate-controlled closet. Mundane clothing: usually on floor.

Based on your garb and without meeting you I'd at first say 'Valeria'.
Faire names can be a blessing and a curse because they do tend to stick and they are not always of ones choosing. I'd say go for something a tad on the uncommon side and try to limit yourself to one or two syllables. Generally you want your name to be easy for someone to remember and easier for them to call you by. It's not the easiest thing to shout "Sir Michael of York" or "nightcrawler" across a crowded pub and have the person you are calling to, actually turn and look.

I think Valeria fits. Its also easy to say and spell.
Whatever you end up picking, you probably needs to use as your board name too or half the people here will only remember your profile name.

Tell me about it.
  I dubbed a guy who showed up his first season at faire 'The Himbo'.  I'm sure he had a more masculine handle before that.  He never complained, but I still feel guilty.  Nice guy.
    In my own defense, it was startled  out of me...Visualize a well tanned gym-toned chest...sounds good till you add the purple and hot pink striped tights, gold lame sash and pinkish red head scarf, more jewelry than a court lady and more makeup than me.
   He was later adopted into a pirate group, who thankfully convinced him to tone down the look ;D And yes, he is hetro.
  Valeria is perfect, Angie.  I just saw the first Conan movie again for the umpteenth time, and I love that silver Valkyrie look that Valeria was doing when she returned from the grave to save his butt.

I guess then the question is, do you want to live forever?
