Chase would whip it out and sample it.
My name... I don't know. Google around 'Erik' and see what comes up. I'm Norwegian or some such heritage. Hopefully it gives me a +2 towards a Saving Throw to get in Valhalla.

But my name (Eric) means the Ever/Always Ruler..

Here's a fun game I made up to play with children: Use a word processor to spell check names. Most names are in the spelling dictionary, so you'll have to slightly misspell them. Example, "Scot" becomes "Snot." Since a list is usually suggested by the spell checker, you let the kids choose their favorites. If you use first, middle and last names you can come up with some hilarious (at least for a kid) stuff.

How ironic, because I'm an atheist. Maybe changing names would be in order.

I tried to check its meaning at the Japanese Wikipedia, but it's all in Japanese letters.

"Mephistoff" is a traditional family name, derived from "Mephitis anthro-mephitis sapiens," my species' name. Mephitis descends from a Latin root of obscure origin, having to do with strongly unpleasant scents.
"Yancey," my middle name, is an altered form of the Ducth "Jansen," which in English would be "Johnson."
"Ellis" is a form of "Elias," which in turn is derived from "Eliahu," ancient Hebrew for "Jehovah is God."

My name means "god is saviour" and this thread gives me another opportunity to whine about that moron in Rutland who tried to tell me it means "son of god", as though folks who don't like to write out 15 in full because it's too close to the name of god would ever give their son such a blasphemous name.

Here's the chinese spelling for your name.
好闹 (you can only view chinese writing if it's turned on in your languages.)
It means "very noisy". The words are said as good noise, but said in context, it means very noisy.
I came up with mine, after "noone" was not accepted, so I added my initials.
no one, is the way ancient chinese used to sign their name to text. There is a deep, dark reason as to why they did that too. It's said as "wu wei" no one.
