Strangely enough, I actually have the opposite problem to all teh Erics and Johns around. Altogether, my full name is so unusual that there is probably not another person on the planet who shares my exact name - I know that every person in England with my surname is no further than uncle or aunt from me (worked in a data company once). Thats why I use a netname... I would be far to easy to trace. lii'altoo would be my netname written Demua-style. --- Rhialto A conlang can be judged by the quality of its pro-verbs.
