[Moo] Road testing... testing... 1... 2... 3... ( was: What do I need to do to shed my mundane name?)

[J. Hughes]

My lady Julian,

Julian is a name that goes back to Roman times and crosses cultures (with varientations). It was most often a male name, and used for females in more modern times. I will need to check when it was used first for a female name, but it was used at least as early as 1342 when Saint Julian of Norwich was named.

You can not ask too many questions.

Kihe (and, off-list, Ana) -

Thank you both for your insights!

Per recommendations, I am going to begin test-driving my favored (Christian) name in 3, 2, 1... Only a few of you have met me, a few more have seen me 'round here using my modern name, but I hope I've chosen early enough that it will be easy to know me by what I hope will wind up my SCA name instead of having to make a difficult transition from my modern name.

It will take me somewhat longer, I think, to find a byname or surname that speaks to me, so for now, I hope to be known as

Julian of Stierbach

P.S. I hope that, in my enthusiastic newbieness, I am not becoming a pest around here. If I ask too many questions, by all means, encourage me gently to pipe down and sit back to listen a while. :)
