I have to admit I was confused a bit too, probably less than he is. While I'm not going to state what I think, I do note his choice of mod creation is interesting given this context.

Well he's just a fan of Motoko Kusanagi in GiTS is all...
He did confirm to me he was a guy many, many years ago.
I myself had fun back for a few weeks in 1996 with a female nickname. But after getting hit on one time too many, I called it quits and became Naoki :P

The one guy/girl I never got around to understanding whether he/she was a he/she is Jordan. :^^;:

Look through his posts, you'll see more than a few veiled insults like that posing as seemingly innocent comments.

I always thought he adopted it from Motoko Aoyama from Love Hina? Might be misreading his nick, though.

As in Eliana Tamerin? She's a girl, afaik.

Oh yes, you're right. I used to *think* it was Motoko Kusanagi from his nickname "Motoko-chan", but now that he's changed to using the kanji for Aoyama Motoko, it's clear it wasn't her...

(I'm just not familiar enough with Love Hina so it didn't stick with me. I'm not into harem anime. Love triangles are already crowded enough... I'd rather watch Orange Road or Macross for that.)

Yes, as in Eliana Tamerin.
I always thought she was a girl, but then she started signing 'Jordan'... And since it's a male name AFAIK... (Well it could be bi-gender, like Claude or Dominique in France.)

Then again, I used to mistake her for Jade, too... :lol:

One of my friends has a daughter named Dominique. It probably isn't limited to France

Eliana does list her gender as female... I know that here it's both.

Haha, it's not generally my cup of tea either, but I was advised Love Hina was "one of those must-read manga" and since it was "relatively mild harem", I read it. Admittedly I liked it most of the time, too. Not one of my favourites, though. ;)

And yeah, Jordan is used for both genders.

ETA: this is going off-topic, isn't it? Feels like a proper pub already. :P
