We also need to bring back extinct Anglo-Saxon names, if I have a son I'll name him Wolfrick!

That's interesting coming from a Welshman (I believe?)

I used to have the opposite perspective as well. But forget about that. Having Italian ancestry, and being a native English speaker, it's more satisfying to think about Latin influence on English. Got the Greek covered too, having ancestry from Magna Graecia.

This area was part of Mercia for a while, so I accept the old Anglo-Saxon traditions.

Interesting. I was aware of a similar thing in the case of the Scots. Lowland Scots have substantial Anglo-Saxon ancestry. Highland Scots are Celtic.

The Scots even have their own form of English that developed during the period.

Like I told you the other day it will be up still, you know why? Because it's your sandbox, no one can report it, you are not vandalizing any page or modifying pages outside your personal page...

So feel free to have anything you want!
