Thelsim likes the sound of Thelsimβs own name, so Thelsim approves of this question :)
Thelsim is a unique enough name, if you see Thelsim somewhere else, thereβs a good chance it is Thelsim.
Thelsim thought it up on the spot and kind of identifies with it now. Itβs vague and genderless enough to apply to anyone and can still be remembered as a normal name. Itβs become Thelsimβs online identity.
Caveman enough for not-Thelsim? :)
