Borrowed from Stelios...

Your Name Comes From Mercury

You have the gift of gab, and nothing energizes you like good conversation. And it's likely that when you're not talking, you're writing. You love communicating your thoughts. You are also quite studious. You find learning to be both easy and rewarding. You are good at understanding what is being communicated to you. You also know what questions to ask to better clarify things.

What Planet Does Your Name Come From?

I guess communication is what being a bard is all about.
