But it's lowercase! We're clearly supposed to make it into some crazyass word!

2 Dubber: I think i'm not correctly understand link to russian language However, if i pronounce 'dni' as 'dnee' on russian, it translates as 'days' Although 'dni' is not 'days' by my sense Oh, I thought you were in Russia (and therefore assumed Russian is your 1st & English is your 2nd (or 3rd or more) language? In my experience, it's not always easy to make linguistic usage jokes in other languages.

2 Dubber: Why 'were in'? I am in Russia. You're right, russian is first and english is second for me. There's no word playing in 'dni', it's some kind of shortcut or abbreviature. 2 freesoul: You're near the truth. If you mean abbreviature, correctly (by grammar) will be 'D N i'. Or, if i'll be honest (by sense), as 'd n I'. 2 Rycchus: I think you know that most of nicknames need to be in lowercase...

Yes. "Citan" should rhyme with "Titan".

2 Rycchus: It's simply 'dni' is obsolete 3-letter abbreviation of my 'Dark Night' nickname which i use more than 10 years ago. So after a time, long 'name' lost it's meaning...

does anyone know about the meaning and emphasis behind 'taliesin'? my 3 possible ideas are: 1)Something to do with a sin; 2)A guy called talie is in; or 3)A random name like mine. Personally i'd go with the last one!

Taliesin is legendary celtic bard\druid\wizard, first of all druids and (in some versions of the legend) a child of the god of wisdom.
