Sorry for the long list but here are some geeky names as well as where they are from Teal’c (Stargate) Neo (Matrix) Chani (Dune) Marty (Back to the Future) HAL 9000 (2001: a space odyssey) Deckard (Blade Runner) Gamora (Guardians of the Galaxy) Jinx (Arcane) Buttercup (The Princess Bride) Daenerys (Game of Thrones) Eleven (Stranger Things) Castiel (Supernatural) Geralt (The Witcher) Buffy (Buffy the Vampire slayer) Arthur (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) Nathaniel (War of the Worlds) Esme (Discworld)
Penge, Need I mention that I'm enjoying your CK3 content? RE: Suitably "Geeky" names Glorfindel from LoTR novels and other writings by Tolkien. Other than the Geek factor arising from the source of the name, the fact that the Peter Jackson films cut Glorfindel from the lore and gave one of his major contributions in the story to Arwen adds to the Geekiness of the choice. Similarly, one can't go wrong with Galadriel as a lovely name for a lovely daughter of the house. The film industry has a long history of making multiple versions of the same property. One of the most filmed/adapted novels is Dumas' (pere) "The Three Musketeers" which provides the names Athos, Porthos, and Aramis as the eponymous trio. Unless dealing with triplets, I'd suggest only using one of the three. Perhaps surpassing the previously mentioned novel in terms of sheer quantity of film adaptations is Anthony Hope's "The Prisoner of Zenda" which spawned a whole sub-genre of Adventure/Romance fiction called "Ruritanian Romance" involving small, fictional, independent central or eastern European principalities. We can see echoes of Ruritania in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and Grand Fenwick from "The Mouse that Roared". At any rate, I suggest the name Flavia from the Hope novel as another lovely name for a daughter of the house. Fantasy novels and fantastic folklore can provide a plethora of excellent names: Carline and Arutha from Feist's "Magician"; Polgara and (Bel)Garion from Eddings; Lessa, Menolly, and Jaxom from McCaffery; Arya, Sansa, Jon, and Tyrion from Martin. One name from folklore I've always liked is Melusine, who may have lent some inspiration to "The Little Mermaid". I'm very impressed with how you've managed to keep Geethan a viable character, despite his infirmity, at his advanced age and difficult mode of lifestyle. At least his lifestyle doesn't seem to lead to gout! - sj
Any name from the Shadow and Bone, Warhammer 40k, Star Trek, or any Stephen King books would be wonderful! Also, im a huge fan of the Age Of Fire series and would love to see a Wistala Geek named after a green dragon that was quite a reader herself!
Name suggestions, if we want to stick to video games geekery: Sonic, Toad, Peach, Yoshi, Jill Valentine, Dutch, Geralt, Yennefer, Keirametz, Dogmeat, Liadrin, Sylvanas, Ryu, Blanka, etc.
Name suggestions: Ardin - a dragon in the book series The Dwarves. It's the name of a brave dragon. Aragon - LOTR Katniss - The Hunger Games Primrose - The Hunger Games Loki - The Avengers etc. Thor - The Avengers etc. Harry, Ron, Hermione - Harry potter
Geethan's wife is still amazing at fixing him up. He has n incident while hunting and the next day all patched up. He seems to be doing very well with the only major drawback being low prowess due to old age. Will there be another university or monument visit when the Tabard returns to Europe? Any thoughts as to whether he'll become landed then and bring the grand adventure to a close?
I like to imagine the poem wasn't 'bad' as much as it was 'experimental'. It perhaps had too many layers for the common mind to really understand it; a genius poem, wrapped in a good poem, wrapped in a bad, poem wrapped in a terrible poem. Sadly the world wasn't ready for that much genius, and it flopped. But one day. One day, Geethan!
Oh, Penge, no, you have to go watch the original Battlestar Galactica. It's amazing. I love it way more than the SciFi Channel remake. ...just don't watch Battlestar Galactica 1980. That... we don't talk about that one. >_>

I think Henry is a geeky name
You had the chance to describe Alfred as Batman's Bat man...ans didn't?!?😢
I'm not following you. Alfred is Batman's... bat man? As in... he holds his... bats?
@@TheGeekCupboard Someone has to keep the bats at bay.
Can you try warsim realm of aslona

Oh, Penge, no, you have to go watch the original Battlestar Galactica. It's amazing. I love it way more than the SciFi Channel remake.
