Leo keeps using it in game.. and I think I've heard it elsewhere, in character, as well.
Not to mention there's the same sort of faint outline around any group - me, Ian, and skote never labelled our group as the faction 'The Sunbeards', but instead are just descendents, and remnants, of that clan. People just started calling us that out of misunderstanding (and probably my signature), so we just kinda vaguely rolled with it.
It really can't be that hard to confuse the idea of a signature (Dj's specifically) with one's identity as a group, considering these same people are in the group - it's hardly more of a metagaming mistake than knowing somebody's name before they introduce themselves in a conversation.
That all could have probably been inferred from the situation, but I felt the need to clarify further for some reason.
