A rose by any other name... - Can we discuss the origin of names?

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I also go by Bondith in some places. Bondith was a name I originally applied to a firelizard I had (online, of course. Firelizards are imaginary). This is going to be one long Pern reference. Bondith was a bronze firelizard, so I made the connection with bronzed bodies and named him after Bondi Beach in Australia. The -th ending usually indicates a dragon name, but all my firelizards like to feel important.

Other online names have included Erik the Lemming (star of a rather strange story I wrote for Creative Writing), Schroedinger's Lemming (like the cat, only with a Norwegian rodent and a little rock with a pool of water to jump into) and G'lad (Pernese dragonrider honourific derived from Gil-galad).[/colorost_uid0]
