I use Tleilaxu, My Bro uses Ix.
No, no Persian blood in me. The origin of )(er)(es is a bit odd. I had a teacher in sixth grade who's wife was expecting their first child. My teacher wanted an uncommon name and he decided on Xerxes. I don't recall his motivations. Well, his wife mis-carried and it hit him pretty hard.
He was a pretty cool guy and this story always stuck with me even though over 28 years have passed.
I guess it's part because the name, IMO, sounds pretty cool and part because it's a way to honor a man who had an influence in the early years of my life.
