Coniraya

My nickname is two Welsh words I stuck together: castle and white. When I started playing Diablo on line, years ago, I wanted something that sounded celtic.

I now use it on other online communities.

When I entered it into google I found I wasn't entirely unique.

Wulfric means "Power of the Wolf" in Anglo-Saxon and was picked because it sounded good. Boring, eh?

My name comes from a mixture of:

Weber- who composed a lot of clarinet music (that I love performing) and is my favourite composer.

and...

quetzal- which is a type of beautiful endangered bird. I read a poem that incorporated a quetzal and was hooked! Also reflects my concerns for the environment.

Wow I didn't know that quetzals still existed...I am Apache which would probably mean before that my family was Aztec...I find this very interesting...I used to read a lot about tribes who worshipped this bird as a child...not going to worship a bird but do you know a site that has a picture of it???

New Zealanders put 'u' into Lynette, pronouncing it Lunette... I knew many Lynette's at school.

Wulfric

I think Blaue Augen is pronounced Blawa (the aw as in "how") and ow'gn. Wulfric by way of uninterest, is pronounced (as far as I can make out) Wulf-reech.

Wulfric

Blaua Augen is pronounced, I believe, "Blawa Owg'n" (the au like "how" and the final e is almost silent).

Wulfric, out of disinterest, is pronounced "Wulf-reech" (I think!)
