[Opinions] Re: Quatermain
in reply to a message by Llewella
I think it would be an awesome name for a character! Or a fish.
In real life I think it's best as a middle name, since it's so long and uncommon.
What's the meaning/origin? It makes me think "quarter main (hand in french)", so a quarter of a hand?
I'm liking it as a mn with shorter fn's, like these:
Johannes Quatermain
Etienne Quatermain
Silas Quatermain
Padraig Quatermain
Elias Quatermain
Harry Quatermain
Oliver Quatermain
Olivier Quatermain
Alder Quatermain
Nicolas Quatermain
Ian Quatermain
Peter Quatermain
Pierre Quatermain
Jean-Pierre Quatermain
Victor Quatermain
Lucard Quatermain
