Gordon Monro - Gommog

Gommog is a name and logo used by Australian digital media artist Gordon Monro.

Why Gommog?

It is short.
It is nicely symmetric.
It is related to my real name (derived from the first two letters of "Gordon" and the first two letters of "Monro").
It doesn't seem to mean anything in any language.
There are at least five ways of spelling my surname. People often misspell the "Monro" part of my name, and so have trouble finding me. This was the most important reason I had for finding another name.
The domain name www.gommog.com was available.

And all the other names I could think of were already in use. The only problem with "Gommog" is that it sounds a bit more aggressive and death-metal-ish than my art work generally is.

Other Gommogs

When I started using the name there weren't any others, as far as I could find out. Later I came across two, one on Russian-language websites and one in England. I don't have any connection with either of them. In case of confusion, I live in Australia, and here is some biographical information.
