Re: GUMNUT: NUTTY OR GUMMY?
Yep, you're correct. Haemophilus roughly translates from Latin meaning 'blood loving'. Taken from the Haemophilus species of bacteria which is pathogenic, particularly H. influenzae.
For trivia, I use the name Haemophilus as a bit of a throwback/salute to my even nerdier past. Back before I worked in Games.
Edit - Just saw your comment saying you work on bacteria too. *aseptic high five!*
