Congratulations to you, Legate and Lommie. And I believe congratulations are also in order to a certain Downer on gaining Gaffer status, Nogrod.

Happy birthday to the newly arrived Istar! And of course to the parents and all the rest of the family!

And it may of course only be a silly coincidence, but one of the things that marks a wizard is that many are their names in many countries - or forums.

In Middle-earth everything is hereditary. I think the heir to a Legate would be a Tribune, so congratulations to Tribune *Legalomien too. ^_^

Thank y'all! I should say that it is also a joy and privilege that the little one has been born into such an amazing extended family that the 'Downs are.

Now that is certainly a complicated topic indeed, it would probably easily fill its own thread by the amount of possibilities.

Penguin180 certainly sounds like a username.

In the name of Eru, no! I had not considered the potential genetic outcome in this particular field, and now I am dreading, should the hour ever come, reading such a person's Werewolf-analyses.

Ha! Indeed! Nice catch.

Obviously though if the Legate part is accounted for in the Tribune, then it should logically be something like Tribune of Amon Lóm. - Hey! Of course! How about something like...

*dramatic drumroll*

Tribune of Dor-Lómin?
