Now, if anything at all can be known to be wrong, it seems to me to be unshakably certain that it would be wrong to make any sentient being suffer eternally for any offence whatever.

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).

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? ;)

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.
