Gentlemen will be fine from my standpoint, sweetcakes; although, I cannot speak for s4n, as he can also sound very sexy when he wants :P

 

Glad to help :lol:

Ave, MadWizard25,

 

Actually, as I play a female Wood Elf, I cannot use that form of my name:  The gens name Cornelius would need to take the female form of Cornelia, while the praenomon would need to be something like Iullia; also, as my character is not actually me (in the mundane world), I cannot use any of the cognomens which I have personally earned.  Thus, my character-name would need to take a form similar to Iullia Cornelia Smegma (preserving this single cognomen in due reverence to an illustrious line of ancestors [noted for a particularly tasty physical characteristic, as you have undoubtedly surmised], the imagines of which are all stored for use during funeral processions, of course).  Therefore, as I retain a slight ability to recognise the differences between the mundane world and that of Tamriel, I have felt myself (loosely) bound by these, admittedly, prosaic concerns; thus, my Elf is called The Lady Smeg'Ma (which may point to a mingling of the bloodline w/ Kajiit or Redguard in the distant past). 

 

I did, though, play the Imperial side in the Bellicus Civitae; I will likely play the Stormcloak side someday, but when I don't know, as I tend to keep one character for very long periods of time.

 

Vale,

 

   Iullus Cornelius Smegmus Magnus Pantocrator

 

PostScript:  In light of the designation awarded me by z929669, I am considering adding the cognomon 'Cheesecake' to the Lady Smeg'Ma's name, though I will need to ponder a more appropriately dialectical form; perhaps 'the Lady Smeg'Ma Placentia'?

Wow, had to re-read your post several times lol. Are you by any chance fluent in latin or have studied lit/ language? Had to laugh after that entire paragraph ended up with the conclusion; my characters name is Lady Smeg'Ma. Was expecting something totally different :D

 

And how does cheesecake become Placentia in a dialectical form? Im think of something else than a cheesecake...

@MadWizard25,

 

I don't speak Latin, but through academia I've been exposed to a lot of it-plus I am a Roman history junkie (have been for many, many years). Also, I thoroughly enjoy playing w/ words.

 

I get 'cheesecake' from combining 'smegma', which is a cheese-like substance found in/on peoples naughty bits, with the (a?) Latin word for cake-'placenta'.

 

I just learned that about the word placenta the other night when writing that post-I decided to google 'Latin for cake'; when I realized how beautifully disgusting and thematically consistent the term was, I knew I had a new cognomen for the Lady Smeg'Ma.

 

BTW: A cognomen was a 3rd (or 4th, or 5th, etc.) name added to a Roman's praenomen (first name) and gens (surname) name.

 

Placenta being the Latin for cake also works nicely for me in another context; whenever a woman tells me that she uses a natural childbirth method, I enjoy asking if she's planning on eating the afterbirth.
