raeFraefaelun Oariadne Gemiinus (Gemmy) Westhill


It's finally happened. The Mighty Orange-Peel has something other than a nickname. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and thanks Ariadne for the start to his name. Hope you don't mind the acknowledgement of your contribution!

'raeFraefaelun' is his faelty title inherited from his mother's side (Faeletor - reigning owner of a large estate of land or faelor. Something akin to a Regent or Lord. The title is then derived from this, 'rae' denoting heir or descendent of, 'Frae' being the area of land in question and the 'faelun'. 'sae' proceeds the land name if the title is inherited from the father.). 'Oariadne' is his mother's family name which follows the faelty title. 'Gemiinus' is his given name. This is diminished to 'Gemmy'. 'Westhill' is then his family name, from his father. If the title had been inherited from his father his name would simply be saeFraefaelun Gemiinus Westhill.
