Wikipedia Wrote:The Gyrfalcon, also spelled gerfalcon, — Falco rusticolus — is the largest of the falcon species. The Gyrfalcon breeds on Arctic coasts and the islands of North America, Europe, and Asia. It is mainly resident there also, but some Gyrfalcons disperse more widely after the breeding season, or in winter.[nb 1] The Gyrfalcon is dispersed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, with populations in Northern America, Greenland, and Northern Europe. Its plumage varies with location, with birds being coloured from all-white to dark brown.

The bird's common name comes from French gerfaucon; in medieval Latin it is gyrofalco. The first part of the word may come from Old High German gîr (cf. modern German Geier) for "vulture", referring to its size compared to other falcons; or from the Latin gȳrus for "circle" or "curved path"—from the species' circling as it searches for prey, distinct from the hunting of other falcons in its range.[nb 2] The male Gyrfalcon is called a gyrkin in falconry. The scientific name is composed of the Latin term for a falcon, Falco, and for a countryside-dweller, rusticolus.

Wow. Thanks mehmet, that is very cool.



One thing to keep in mind, as they will also be email names, they need to be short and easy to spell and remember. I like EpiphanyPersephone; it reminds me of my Wikipedia account, which is, "Apophenian Alchemy". I keep meaning to make a glittery signature with the words Apophenian and Alchemy staggered on top of each other, followed by the slogan, "wabi-sabi while you wait", but alas, I lack the skills.

hobosthrowtheirpoo. A bit long I think. But maybe, "AirbornePoo" or "poopytrim", which is a reference to anal sex and the movie dogma. Meh. Probably too nasty for my tastes. But fun. Smile

I was just listening to Rick James' "Super Freak". That's another direction I could go. so many good ideas. keep 'em coming.
