But then again I am one of those types who actually counted the number of historical inaccuracies in Braveheart just for the shits n' giggles. Apparently I'm not very fun to watch movies based on books or history with lol

haha. me either because i do the same thing.

There are some great names from some great places! Anything Tolkien I'm a huge fan of. (If you get the chance, see the play "One Man Lord of the Rings" by Peter Ross. It is HYSTERICAL and so perfect for Tolkien lovers.)

My name comes from one of the characters in a book I was writing...faerie in nature, but dark and mysterious. It came in a dream and I loved it so much, I took it for myself, too!

Tuff is my R/L nickname given to me by my Pa(grandfather).
A horse stepped on my foot breaking the bone in the top. That grumpy old man looked at me and said "You better not cry, girl." I didn't shed a tear even when they set and casted it. He started saying "Thats one tough girl." It got shortened to Tuffgirl...then later to Tuff.

When I was a few years older I read a book with a charcter called Tuffarious. To this day I still can't remember who the arthur was or what the book was called (if anyone knows PLEASE tell me it's driving me nuts). And now that I'm about to transition I decided to adopt Tuffarious as my legal name.

It just kinda seemed to go together.

Wish I could share a good, meaningful story about it with you ... but the truth is I cannot.

There was a bag of Brock candy on the table beside my laptop when I registered. I knew it would be easy to type.

Mostly seen spelled Brach now days - since a merger back in the 90s with original company spelled "Brock" ... I believe it is now called something along the lines of Brach and Brock Confections(I think???) ... this is memory I am drawing from so don't count on the accuracy too heavily. LOL!

Not a very exciting story I'm afraid, Cane is acctually my name in real life too. It's practical though, it's quick to type and never taken.
