I think it would because "lupus" is latin for wolf, and as such many words that are to do with wolves start with "lup-" and "Lep-" isn't that far away. That's my two cents anyway.

Also, Lord Toaster, I think that Toast is a perfectly adequate nickname. If you want to change, then do it. We'd all still recognise you.

I've started using the Username "Mercutio" on other sites. There's no particular reason other than I just like the sound of it and it's roots. What do you think?

I'm a video game nerd, and played lotsa MMOs, one in particular DAoC. My main there was an Eldritch and I would have always loved it if they made it so Eldritches would cast fiery looking spells, like the way wizards and runemasters in the game did. >_> So thats where I get the name.

Hah yeah I get your point. But since you said so, Lepri is italian for hare lol Quite similar to "lebre" which is portuguese for... hare. So I'd say Lepri resembles a hare more than a wolf.

But if you get it, lycanthropy is about wolves (having the behaviour of a wolf/the ability to turn into a wolf) and there's not much of lupus to it. Gottaa loOove languages ;P
