[Ayin McFye]

Forgot to answer the Name question so here it goes. First off, my real name is Kris, and it has nothing to do with Ayin McFye.

15 Years ago I was "reborn" into the religion i am now (that's all I'm going to say about religion so don't ask) and I had to choose a name. I was flipping through a book, and I saw Ayin (Pronounced Eh-Yen I believe) The book had a bunch of tarot card stuff in it and Ayin was listed next to the "Tower" card in the tarot deck, so I just assumed that it was Latin for Tower. I liked it, so I went with it.


9 Years ago I joined the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms) and I had to choose a persona name within the Society. I went ahead and went with Ayin but I still had to choose a last name. My best friend in the SCA had a last name of McFye, and I thought it'd be cool to act like we're brothers. It turns out though that you actually have to register your name within the SCA and to do so you have to do research on it. So I decided i'd finally do some research on Ayin. OMG did I find a lot of information on Ayin. For a brief bit of info check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayin but to sum up, it's a letter in various alphabets, and has MANY meanings.

Also McFye is just a variant off of MacFie. For more info on that see... It's pretty cool. http://www.hss.caltech.edu/~mcafee/B...e/history.html

There is a bit more to it, but i think that about sums up the most important parts.

Cheers!
