- I am female, I ride a brown, and I took the honorific (on DragonsFire).
-
- The honorific was initially developed to be easier to yell while fighting
- thread. Even if Mirrim's name wasn't contracted, if you're yelling something
- quickly, I assume her name was often slurred to M'rrim during flight, even
- if it was Mirrim on the ground. Thus to me, as time goes on, it seems likely
- that female riders of fighting dragons would have adopted the honorific.
