Elko was derived from "Elektrik Koruma" which means "Electrical Protection", something to do with my business and it is my registered Trade Name. The number 2 at the end is to make up the fifth character which is a minimum for this forum. I could have chosen no. 1 but it could be misread as letter l, so in order to avoid any mistakes I settled for elko2.

Or it could be that Marky, as his middle name is 'repetitive' just could not help but use his initial 6 times.



Anyway I like Dees name for him so if he ever gets banned he def' needs to rejoin as 'Border'
