I am not. It is merely that the name appears prominently in several of the foremost religious texts of Earth history and their significance forces my awareness.
I am named for one of my people's great builders, a man who contributed much to the early foundation of our global society. That is what "kind of" name it is.
I do not build the way he did, but I am a scientist. I create formulas of some significance and my discoveries further our intergalactic pools of knowledge.
"Nerd". An old Earth term, derived from "nut" if I am not mistaken. The expansion of its definition to include learned individuals occurred decades after its inception.
Though the word is commonly accepted as derogatory, I accept your compliment.
