[Garin]

I originally joined the Downs under the name Othin. It is a Middle Earth sounding name but actually a variation of Wodin or Oden, a Nordic-Germanic God. Actually THE big daddy of those Gods. For some reason I never got the confirmation Email to cement my entry into the Downs. Maybe it is best that I didn't name myself a God. I'm still not sure what happened, I even Emailed the Webmeister. Nonetheless, Othin is history.

Well, I have German heritage so I went looking for an ME-ish name that sounded like my true name (Craig) but held fast to my Teutonic personality.

I found Garin after some research. It is Old German meaning warrior.

I am happy with my choice and might even name a future son, Garin.

The Downs has a variety of names - Saucepan Man, Mormegil, Naria, Formendacil, Dancing Spawn..etc...

How did you come up with your name?
