Random Quote
With the judgment of the angels and the sentence of the saints, we anathematize, execrate, curse and cast out Baruch de Spinoza, the whole of the sacred community assenting, in presence of the sacred books with the six hundred and thirteen precepts written therein, pronouncing against him the malediction wherewith Elisha cursed the children, and all the maledictions written in the Book of the Law. /…/ Let him be accursed by day, and accursed by night; let him be accursed in his lying down, and accursed in his rising up; accursed in going out and accursed in coming in. May the Lord never more pardon or acknowledge him; may the wrath and displeasure of the Lord burn henceforth against this man, load him with all the curses written in the Book of the Law, and blot out his name from under the sky.
[excommunication of Spinoza, 27 July 1656, quoted by Will Durant in The Story of Philosophy; also George Seldes, The Great Quotations, 1983]

I can't decide:
Sir Hank the Radiant of Great Leering
Duke Hank the Erudite of Greater Waldenshire
Lord Hank the Assiduous of Biggleswade by Biscuit
His Excellency Hank the Lush of Lower Slaughter
His Highness Hank the Unusual of Studly Roger
A quick way to cheat the Peculiar Aristocratic Title engine:
Enter your name and sex and press the Submit button for the first title. Then use your browser's Back button to return to the previous page, where your name and sex will still be entered. Press the Submit button again. Do it over and over until you have a title to be proud of.

I am "Duchess Ctenotrish the Eldritch of Westley Waterless." I can live with that. Now I just need to work on my posh accent (my usual Texas-driven mid-west US drawl will never do).

Baron Desert Donkey the Expensive of Bow under Bumpstead
'tis a good friday to be silly I guess

I'm in love with my very first Internet title:
Marchioness Speedwell the Dissolute of New Scagglethorpe
Now where the heck IS New Scagglethorpe? Hey, come to think of it, where the heck is OLD Scagglethorpe?
Oh... never mind...
SCAGGLETHORPE, in the parish of Settrington, and wapentake of Buckrose...
That explains everything, doesn't it? ;)

The Most Honourable Stogoe the Decent of Deepest Throcking
Duke Stogoe the Festive of Middle Witchampton
His Excellency Stogoe the Bloody of Colquhoun St Cahoon
His Excellency Stogoe the Cannibalistic of Heffton St Mallet
That's a lot of fun.

I was particularly taken with my very first title and sought no other.
Duke Carl the Perplexed of Leg over Wallop
Carl is my first name.
While I've spent a great deal of time being perplexed, I haven't yet decided if Leg over Wallop is a location or a martial arts move. If I had to choose I'd take the Leg over the Wallop. My imagination produces many images. But then maybe if Wallop was some kind of food or if Leg was a slang term for . . .

The Reverend Earl Clement the Saturnine of New Porton Wells wishes you all a Merry Christmas. (Do I believe in Christmas? Hell, I've seen it. No reason not to be merry even if it isn't your particular holiday.)

In British slang, "getting your leg over" is slang for having a shag, dipping the quill, spearing the bearded clam, helping Mr Wibbly-Wobbly hide his helmet, a bit of 'ows yer father... and wallop is slang for beer. (There is a beer called Wallop, but it was named after the slang).
Not a bad title, depending on your tastes.

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:Reverend Earl Gregory the Incomplete of Praze-an-Beeble
A Reverend Earl that's incomplete. Hmmmmm...... never thought of that before.
