Name quiz answers...
Jan. 2nd, 2012 09:55 pmI know I promised these earlier but we got distracted by small baby and rather nice lentil curry and tea at Chris and Abi's house...
There are some dodgy translations in here, some messing around with words to make them more 'fantasy' and some playing around with crossword clues of people's names.... I am pleased that no one could guess any of them. It means my system works.... :)
His Imperial High Majesty King Paavali Sturrivant of Sarantea (High King of Regnalia)
Paul Sturtevant (obvious one really... apparently 'Sturtevant' is derived from 'Sturdy want' or something...)
Blessed King Guerra Albanil (King of Yybrahil)
Andy Mason. Actually Spainish for the root meaning of Andrew and 'Stonemason'
King Rakas Poikani, known as ‘The Giant King’ (King of Hohle)
Ant Dawson. It's Norwegian for the root meanings of both names.
King Rosso Fabbro (Rosso II, King of Sarantea)
Russel Smith (in Italian, fabbro refers to someone who fabricates something, i.e. a Smith)
Queen Giola Fabbro (wife of Rosso II)
Joy (though she's married in this so her surname is Smith :) )
Queen Abagaell I of the Castell dynasty (former Queen Regnant of Alvania)
Abi Parr. Apparently Parr means 'a castle park' or 'stately garden' but I removed the 'Parc' bit from the end and just kept the castle.
Duke Vudce Kovar of the Province of Dakhar (first Grand Duke of Dakhar)
Mikey Smith in Czechoslovakian
Grand Duchess Capa Cval Kasna of Dakhar (current Grand Duchess of Dakhar)
Sarah Gallop. Sort of. Cval is a random word I threw in there to confuse people (I think it means fountain in Czech)
Dr. Edvard Vermogen of Hohle (Noted wizard and scholar of magical lore)
Ed Fortune. Another obvious one, really. It's German because Hohle is Germano-Norwegia-Swedeland.
King Paol IV of the Fortemaine dynasty (current King of Alvania)
Paul Mountford. Mountford is derived from Montford which ultimately (apparently) breaks down to 'Strongarm' so I frenchied it up a bit
Queen Musze Obrance Fortemaine (wife of Poal IV)
Alexandra Hopper in Czech plus the surname of her in game husband
