I got this one via e-mail today.  
Your Star Wars Name:

First 3 letters of your last name + first 2 letters of your first name = **Your Star Wars First Name**

First 2 letters of your mother’s maiden name + first 3 letters of the name of the town or  
city you were born in = **Your Star Wars Last Name**

Mine: Kowra Qutac

Whee!

What if you have a two-letter last name like Ho?

Fortuntately I do not have this problem. Five letters is more than enough.

Problem. I wind up as Marla Eielm. I suppose I could invoke masculine privilege and become Maral Eielm. Then there are the various punctuation ploys – Mar’al Ei-elm, perhaps.

However, having played the SW RPG and created several characters, I most identify with a fighter pilot from the early days of the Rebellion by the name of Nev Holander. Perhaps I should say Nev Holander (c), since I plan on using that name somewhere down the line and I want it clear that it’s MINE!! ALL MINE!! 🙂

Mine sucks, but I wil take the liberty of adding some punctuation to make it slightly less sucky:

Hmmm, if you change that to allow the first _3_ letters of your first name, then I have a friend whose Star Wars first name is Mar-Mar.

Michelle, yours is COOL! Wegmi Kubro, doesn’t necessarily sound like a woman’s name but it is cool nonetheless.

Let’s see for me it would be… Wiljo Prant. (I won’t use the San part) or if I use the name I go by for the first part…Wilell Prant. Not too bad. What happened to the other thread that dealt with medication? I like this one better.

HUGS!
