Default Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?

When I was still an active member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), I started a fighing unit of heavy fighters. The name of the unit was to be Bearclaw. Archers were to be called Teeth of the Bear. I took the name because where I live, our town mascot is the Kermode bear, a rare spieces of black bear that has white fur that only live in this part of the world. The fighting unit never got anywhere but I started using the name (with a small 'b') Online.

For those who don't know, the SCA is a mediveal recreation club.

Chances are there is a chapter near you.

Oh, and incase you were wondering, the Kermodi bear is NOT an albino. It is an actual sub-species of black bear.
