Yeah it is. I use Enkidu (or some variation) on every online forum and website, but very rarely get inquiries as to the origin of the name, and the funny thing is most of them think it's after some character from some computer game...

Now I love computer games as much as the next guy (male geek that is

) but come on people, basic general knowledge, hello !?
Btw Abydos is not after the ancient Egyptian city (except indirectly) but after the first planet humans set foot on after passing through the stargate in the movie and series Stargate...
Allright, here's a question for you book-reading geeks out there :
HOW DID ENKIDU BECOME CIVILIZED (having begun as a wildman) ?
I'll give you a clue - it's something more likely to occur to people with a dirty mind, like Poppaea and others...
