How Did Your Downs Name Come About?

[A_Brandybuck]

From the beginning I wanted a Hobbit's name. But I had problems with picking an 'real' name, which belongs to a character in Tolkien's world. It seems to me just not right, because I am not this character and I wanted to draw a borderline to all these Frodo675 and Pippin12 or something like that.
My choice was on 'Brandybuck', but I had any idea, which first name, so I took just 'a' which doesn't mean, that the first letter in the first name is 'A', but it stands for 'a' as an article. Consequently it has the meaning 'any Brandybuck' or 'some Brandybuck'.
