    Huffelpompton?? WTH is that? :D Van Randstendaan sounds quite Dutch. Would be even better if you changed that to Van Randstendam. :)

    I googled that. So I guess I disqualified myself?

    Well, I guess you could get half a cookie

    As for Huffelpomton.... I dunno, I mentioned I barely know anything about Dutch right ? The closest I heard of it was from a high school student from Belgium, Wallonia* to be exact and she barely spoke it herself. Or is it call Flemmish ? I was lead to believe it's pretty close to the Dutch spoken in the Netherlands.

    *-- ooo the Belgian accent is, peculiar to say the least, though I suppose my own sounded as foreign to her.

    Hey, are you making fun of me? :p

    Well it sounds sexier in French...

    And nonpareils are those tiny little round sprinkles.

    'Libb Erat Chi the Fabulous'...'Lizzie Booberella'... sir, you are a genius.

    Oh! Watch it now. ;)

    Another translation might be Cherry Without Equal.
    I prefer Sweet n Low anyway.

    Everything sounds more romantic in Italian and French. Opera composer Giuseppi Verdi's name sounds terribly romantic, until you realize it's just Italian for "Joe Green."

    Well, I'm afraid that Cherry Without Equal would be Cerise Sanspareil or Sans Pareil Sorry to bust your bubble.

    I did say 'might'; I wasn't sure. 'Sans' does make more sense.

    Kadhal (derived from my real name), Adelide, Xelos...
    Sometimes I enjoy choosing the most unpronounceable names for my pg.:D

    Recently I've been using the names of the seasons changed a little for the two characters that I'm playing in two different games in BGT.
    Authumn = neutral male elf Assassin
    Winter = neutral male human Berserker duelled Druid

    Probably I will call the next character Shummer or Zummers, an evil mage.
