[edit] Thoric

(From the Germanic name Theodoric meaning "Great Leader", from which the name Derek — my name — is derived).

Originally a name from a (now lost) short story I wrote in high school, I used the name as a handle to play MUDs in college, and kept it when I started my own MUD -- Realms of Despair (a SMAUG MUD). Hence Thoric is the god that created the game.

When I originally was conceiving the name, it was a cross of Thorin and Yorick. It wasn't until a couple years ago that I realized it works rather well as a derivative of Theodoric.
