Shmelkin? : D

Sorry, but that name is just funny.

you have a really nice wolf there. Celtic stuff always makes for decent tattoos imho.
But it looks kind of like Amarok – an audio player for Linux.

Right, I forgot that. My name sounds somewhat hard and dark in English, since the last letter is missing.
I suppose that’s why they called the servant like that.

My name is nothing special, the year I was born, it was quite popular. In school there were up to 4 Igors in my
class simultaneously ; )

I do like it’s northern origins though, all archaic European names sound fantastic!
