1. Access the ORK's search page.
2. Take every real word (or proper noun) from your persona name (except for common words you wouldn't capitalize in a book or movie title, like 'a' and 'the') and do a search on the ORK for it. For instance, if your name was Grimwolf Firerazor of Blackspire, you'd do a search for 'grim', 'wolf', 'fire' 'razor', 'black', and 'spire'.
3. Record the number of hits you got from that name element. In the above example, you would get 56, 208, 112, 6, 148, and 4.
4. The total of the number of hits you got, and that's your flurbiness score. (534)
What the scores mean:
0-1: You must have made up some weird made-up name like "Bangor". You are not a flurb, but you come close.
2-5: Your name is original without being nutty. Good job! You are non-flurby and fancy-free.
6-10: Your name is mostly original. Not bad! Your level of flurbiness is negligible.
11-50: Uh oh! You probably have at least one "flurb word" in your name. Some hardcore stickjocks probably chuckled behind your back when you weren't looking.
51-100: Your name is pretty flurby. I'd be worried if I were you.
101-500: Oh my gosh you are teh Flurb! You'd best change your name ASAP.
501+: *sigh* there's no hope for you. How can you live with yourself?
Matthias also pointed out afterwards that you should count hits to your own ork entry, thus anyone with a first and last name should get at least a 2 (1 for each name).
My score is 1.
Hannibal's score is 436.
