Legally, I'm Edith Rose Nelson. However, I don't really like the name "Edith"--it's a name for a woman more than twice my age--so I go by Gillian to most of the people I know in real life. (And I don't go by "Edie." Ever. I don't know why, but I've always loathed that nickname.)

How did you get to Gillian, since it doesn't seem to be derived from your real name?
I do have family members that call me "Jake" for short - no I don't know how they got that out of Jason.

One of the things you do when you start getting into SCA/ren faires is pick yourself a new name. I keep a baby name book around, because it's handy for character creation, and it said that "Gillian" was a common name in the Middle Ages, so I went with it.

The same as my user name. James. Some times my wife calls me Jimmy or Jammy. But only she is allowed to get away with that.

Bert. My last name starts with an L. I only added "s" to my username because I registered before under the name "BertL" but completely forgot my password. Please don't ban me for sock puppeting.

Ah, so that's where the "ren" comes from, then. I'm Adrian.
