User:Ferdiadh
Welcome to my user page.
My screenname comes from Ferdiadh, best friend and foster-brother of Cúchulainn. Most know of Cúchulainn, the Hound of Culain, from the Táin Bó Cúailnge.
Years ago when I was first on the
hotmail
and everywhere else.
I had learned degree, I was amazed by the intriguing orthography of the word, bhFiann. Pronounced like the name Ian with a V, I quickly used bhFiann as my new screenname.
BhFiann received a lot of backlash due to the curious orthography and I would get /buh-fee-in/. Not as crafty as
J.K. Rowling with the name, Hermione
, I sought out a new handle. By this time, I was reading the Táin and loved Cúchulainn. Therefore, I tried removing the fada from Cú and attempted to use it as a new screenname, but like my failed venture with Seamus, Cuchulainn was taken. Seeing Ferdiadh as a nobel character in the Táin and noticing its lack of diacritic marks, I plugged Ferdiadh into AOL, yahoo, etc. and it worked. So the screenname has struck.
Please fell free to wiki my page, proofread, add to it, ask questions or just plan comment.
Thank you.
