It's assumed.

Otherwise, I'm some dude that climbed a tree to see Jesus.

More accurately, I'm American, my name doesn't mean shit

Quasar
Quazar (misspelling of Quasar; the Z makes it cool)
QZR
I'd like to buy a vowel.
qizzr
I'd like to buy another one.
Aqizzar

And that's how my name came to be.  Until I made it up for this forum, those specific letters had never been assembled in that specific combination, an ethos I strive for in all that I do.

My real name you ask?  It's an old Anglic name meaning "Mighty Ruler", and it's been born by many a storied king and celebrity.

First Name:gentle
Middle Name:son of
Family Name:Mars

You guys are entirely too trusting. The hell if I'm giving out my real name.

That said, the first name either means "red" or "king" depending on which linguistic origin you go with (gee, guess where my alias comes from...)

Surname is probably locational, though I have no idea of its origin.

My son's name means "elf-power" (I've also seen it listed as "elf-prince" in other sources). And my daughter's name is apparently distantly derived from a Greek name meaning "torture". My kids are super dorfy.  :D

No, although it's apparently derived from Alberich. Maybe Elric was too.

Gilroy?
Though I believe that actually means "servant", and it's the rest of the original phrase which means "son of" and "red-haired" or "king's".
