I thought is was about time, I actually got around to getting a Talossan name of my own so here goes…
Matthew - Mateiwos
Tumulty - a "reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Tomaltaigh or Ó Tomaltaigh, which means wolverine , thus in Talossan it is - Nanamavéu
Thus all together it is Mateiwos Nanamavéu, what do you all think???

Odd. I looked up Tumulty and only found that it was a "reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Tomaltaigh or Ó Tomaltaigh ‘son’ or ‘descendant of Tomaltach’, a byname meaning ‘glutton’, from tomaltach ‘bulky’." Which would have your name be something more along the lines of Figlheu da Ligürit.
I don't know what you'd do with that. Better let the experts figure it out. (Although I s'pose you like your translation of your name better anyway.)

Well, "glutton" is also a kind of animal, more commonly known as a wolverine. Also in the Connaught Irish language the word for Wolverine is 'Tomal', thus I thought Wolverine would make more sense than bulky.

That's your cue, Lord Hooly! Your line is: There, changed it on the website. Thou hast been rechristened, young scoffer! Knave and bounty of doxies, whippersnapper, and all around good guy, Mateiwos Nanamavéu! No longer Tumulty, but still wolverine, and he'll rip you to shreds in a heartbeat, if his bulk doesn't get in the way! ;D  Whew--mouthfull. I don't envy you your line, Lord Hooligan. |
