Roegadyn players, tell me about your character's name!
What was your thought process behind it? Does it mean something important? Does it follow Sea Wolf/Hellsguard conventions or does it draw on other cultures? Is it the same as their birth name or has it changed? Can other people pronounce it? Do they go by any nicknames or shorten it for convenience?
In my thinking, Bee's Common-translated name (Magnificent Bee), derives from the Roegadyn Maetilona (Mighty Gatherer).
Just a poetic way to talk about a honeybee (industrious, going from flower to flower to collect pollen for the hive), like an old kenning.
She chose it herself as a good approximation when she came down to interact with the various peoples in Gyr Abania. Most people just call her 'Bee,' though a resistance agent who used to visit her during the occupation sometimes called her 'Maggie'.
(One of the regulars at her cantina calls her 'Ms. Magnificent' which she thinks is just great :D )
