Always go back to the Greek.

μᾶλον (malon) - apple

Or split it. ον - he came μᾶλ - very exceedingly

(you know, vain bastard)

My first name is German. Origin:German. Meaning:free man. The German boy's name Charles means “free man.” Charles is a royal name that dates back to the reign of Charlemagne, the first Charles the Great. My middle name Bruce means "man from the brushwood thicket.". I am fairly sure my last name means rag picker. So my name IS my fate. I am free, dwell in a thicket and earn my keep by any means available. Fitting.

My name is from the same root as Jacob/Jack. It means usurper. I am a usurper. This has proven true. With dedication, I hope to be a better usurper in the future.

Yes, exactly, gives more meaning to the idea of things being so 'jacked up'! An army of Jacks to usurp the usurpers. Best
