Named for Rand, now what?

[Guest Just Rand, not that Rand]

Hey there everyone!

 

I'm just now somewhat stepping into the community, after over a decade of self-imposed seclusion, until I finished the series. My dad named me for Rand, and I finished the series for the first time during that special eclipse we had back in August! Was a nice way to close out the series that had, and continues to have, such a strange (but welcome) impact on my life. I'm just short of my 21st nameday yet, so I suppose I have a little while to fulfill any prophecies.

 

Are there any other WoT-named people out there? Sometimes I wonder if I'm among the older ones, and I've yet to actually meet one. Anyways, I really look forward to joining the community, finally. Been resisting the urge to re-start the series, currently using Stormlight Archive as a crutch. 

 

I can't wait to get to know everyone here!

Welcome to DM, Just Rand

 

Not sure about having other WoT named people here but then I don't know everybody XD

 

What is Stormlight Archive  ?

Welcome Just Rand!! No such luck for me, but there are a few that have named their children after their favourite characters. They will most likely introduce themselves when they see this thread.

You're the first person I've ever "met" who's named after someone from any of the fantasy stories I've read! It's freaky in an awesome way *grins*

 

Welcome to DM, btw :)

I plan to change my name later in life. Maybe.

That's really cool!  It's a nice change from other fantasy names you see everywhere like Khaleesi!

[Illian Tear]

What is?

Welcome Rand!

 

I know someone here who gave her daughter the middle name of Moiraine and another who was naming her daughter Aviendha.
