Gnome Gnamed!

First of all, many thanks to all of you who participated. Your suggestions were a mix of absurdity an brilliance, and that's the way (uh-hu, uh-hu) I like it. Particular thanks go to Beag Og Bramblefoot over at Gnome Bandits, a wee clever little thing I've added to my sidebar, for both contributing and linking to my post*. 'Preciate it!

Now, the unveiling! I had a hard time picking from the names suggested, probably because I have a hard time deciding between Rice Crispies and Cheerios, or between red and green Gatorade. In fact, I kinda copped out (but that was Erin's idea, she told me to), and found a way to mush almost all the names into one. You know how sometimes people have nick names that have nothing to do with their real names? Andie is a natural derivative of Andrea, but Fish, for example, really has nothing to do with Melissa.

So this is what I've come up with: Lazarus Fiachra Hopkins, who goes by Gnorm. Gnorm and I talked about it, and he likes it. Done and done.

My "gnome son", as Erin put it, Gnorm, ne Lazarus Fiachra Hopkins.
