... I actually DID use Hamish as my name at Faire. Technically the booth I worked, we were supposed to be English, but I figured if my parents slapped it on my birth certificates, I'd a better claim to use it than anyone else at Faire!
@zebratron2084 "haimish" winds up being a legit Yiddish word for someone "homey" - solid decent salt of the earth folk, and sacred Corellon I'm not really able to live up to that either.
