I loved the movie 'Highlander' and decided I wanted to be called MacLeod...then because there were so many people on the 'Net by that nick, I shortened it to 'cleod' - my numdane name is Carolyn (you can, however, find all the letters of cleod in my full name).

Mbo - i thought your name was African...there was this story that I read before in an African setting with a character named Mbo...

Firecat - also thought you got it from a book!
