Cailean = Bowrider?
« on: April 13, 2005, 07:04:44 AM »
*disables lurking mode* I should really post here more often. :)
Anyways, I was just curious about the meaning of Cailean's name. In Elven tongue, it means something like "Bow Rider", as can be seen here. Just wondering if this was coincidental or on purpose. ;) Aside from that, I'm looking forward to this Mod. Keep up the good work!

That's a coincidence actually.  We actually scanned baby name books/webpages for gaelic/scottish/irish names to come up with a name that we liked and thought sounded suitably elvish.  Depending where you look, Cailean means "victory in war" or "virile" or "child".

Oddly enough, I used that page to generate an elven name for a character.  I chose Si'onna (Keeper of Cats or Cat Keeper).  Yes, ok, she was a ranger.
