CC returned and best wishes to you and your family in the new year.
I changed my name because...well it was an idea from my trainer....
And theres a bit of a story behind it, oh well here we go.

Cuchulain is Irish gaelic. It means "The hound of Cooley."

The name comes from Irish folklore. A young man by the name of Setanta was out one day playing hurling (like hockey) on the lands of Cooley, who was the King of Ulster (North part of Ireland.) By accident the King released his hunting and protection hounds and they made an attempt on Setanta's life. Setanta fended them off eith his stick and as the most ferocious of the hounds went for him he struck the ball and lodged it in the hounds throat. The dog died and the King was agrieved.

When he asked "who now will protect me?" Setanta came forward came forward and said "I will be your hound" and he became Cuchulain. He served in the army of Ulster and fended of all enemies and it became apparent he was a bit special, in fact the tales claim he was the Irish Achilles (before Achilles came about )

This dude was the like superman. To this day he's "Champion of all the heroes of Ireland."

Eventually he was killed by his best mate Ferdia in a battle in which they both were slain. Cuchulain was giving him a proper whipping until Ferdia cheated and cut him with poisoned baldes, Cuchulain did a Julian Jackson on him n then wept at his fallen friend.

And thats what the name means.

Yes...Sad I know.
