Where did Faramir get the nickname “Faz”?
“Faz” has similar origins to “Daisy”, above. The name “Faramir” takes FOREVER to pronounce, and in this busy modern world, people just don’t have that kind of time. In the spring of 2003, an enterprising fan on Council of Elrond shortened his name to “Faz”, Aussie-style. Problem solved! It was only a matter of time before his fans became known as “Fazgul”, a.k.a. Wen-wraiths.
