ikitnrev is 'Vern Tiki' spelled backwards. It was a hastily devised name to counter all the other straight forward 'tiki' names that already existed. I thought it would be a temporary name until I came up with something better, but it turns out I like the way the characters flow together on screen, so I've kept it.

I was somewhat stumped at Hukilau when others asked me what my Tiki Central name was, or how I pronounced ikitnrev. It is a name that was originally meant to be seen and read only, and not to be spoken out loud.
I thus feel like I'm participating in some secret pagan ritual when I do have to say it out loud, as if it is a mysterious sound that might blend harmoniously with the sound of a Martin Denny bird call when played backwards.

If you see me in person, you can just call me Vern .... you know what I mean?
