Hmm, I thought Anton's last name was pronounced KIE-zell with the emphasis on the first syllable. Nothing fancy about mine, simply my last name, literally pronounced "Red" "Fern" (as in a non flowering plant that is red in color). English in origin, the family name still has a presence in the British Isles (where it's still spelled "Redfearn"); however, my closest relatives and I hail from south Georgia. Funny how people interpret the origin of my name. Some thought I was the offspring of '60s "Flower Children"; others thought it was Native American, like Roundtree. When I joined an "ElfQuest" mailing list, more than one person assumed it was a concocted name keeping in theme with Wendi and Richard Pini's independent comic saga. Heh, go figure. Sincerely, Bill
