Journeyman Quester

Journeyman Questor

Which one's better?

And yes, Journeyman is his firstname... known as 'Jay' for short.

Depends on context a bit, but the first version looks entirely like a title rather than a name; I think the second's better.

I agree with the above commenter. Journeyman Quester sounds like a rank title on some sort of RPG. Questor sounds much better.

The second one. The first one made me think of Jester. Unless he is a Jester of course and that was intentional mentalism through the use of words. Crap words end in -ester, like fester and pester. Questor made me think of Pastor. Just my mind ramblings anyway, don't take any notice, just carry on as you were.

QUESTER

n : someone making a search or inquiry; "they are seekers after truth" [syn: seeker, searcher]

QUESTOR

\Ques"tor\, n. [L. quaestor, contr. fr. quaesitor, fr. quaerere, quaesitum, to seek for, ask: cf. F. questeur.] (Rom. Antiq.) An officer who had the management of the public treasure; a receiver of taxes, tribute, etc.; treasurer of state. [Written also qu[ae]stor.]

Note: At an early period there were also public accusers styled questors, but the office was soon abolished.

definitions from dictionary.com

I suspect the former is rather more appropriate in meaning, wouldn't want to confuse anyone into thinking Jay was a decendent of a long line of tax-men!!

Questor is bester...

What are you doing this Saturday night?
Fancy coming to my party? :)

[reverend2001]

Sally mentioned it yesterday actually... I believe I would have been dragged along anyway :-)

I'll get her to throw me details...

Super! :)
I've posted details on my LJ, it's pretty laid-back though really- our only request is no politics, and no sex on the roof as the tiles are dodgy...*grin*
