Yeah, as I say, I appreciate it was not your own idea.
Just when someone starts it with a statement that's really just not so, it kinda makes me worry about the credibility of any of it.
Do you have any idea what the poster was trying to say, btw? That because it was not Roman/Greek therefore there must be more to the Mero?
Well that was his first post in the thread. I'll have to go to my home computer to look it up again, but his biggest connection from the thread that I read was the quasi-biblical reference to the Merovingian, who were a line of kings who thought they were decendants of Jesus from Mary Madelen...when I get home I'll look up the whole thread and post more about it..
Yeah, but my point is that he immediately makes an (incorrect) assertion that he was one of very few characters without a Romano/Greek name. What that particular part of the claim, as opposed to simply saying where the name come from, meant to mean anything? It's not important, I am just curious as to WHY he made such a claim even if it were true!
No. The Architect can interface directly with the Matrix, and would have no reason to hide his identity like that. Besides, the Mero did not want Neo to have the Keymaker which he ultimately needed to reach the architect. The architect would have no point in doing that as well, since he wants Neo to reach him to remove the anomaly from the system and reinsert the prime code.
Plus the Merovingian's quasi biblical reference does not apply to the architect since the architect could not be a descendant of the anomaly since he was there BEFORE the anomally...
Nice aproach but off base.. 😬

Short of my mistake on being off in minor details that don't have a lot to do with the point - his theory had some weight, I played on that and think that I found it to be quite feasable. However I don't actually believe it to be true, I wanted to argue it for arguements sake. I'm not a great historian or an expert on names, nor do I want to take the time to research all of that - I've got enough of my own ideas to support! LoL
But if you want to read his post and tell me what you think you can find it here:

101
I've read the debates about whether or not the Merovingian is a former one. It gets pretty deep, so I only have one simple thing to add:
In the Matrix, when Neo wakes up after being contacted by Morpheus, his apartment number is 101.
In Reloaded, when they go to visit the Merovingian and they get off the elevator, the suite/floor number is: 101 of course.
The Merovingian: Former 'One'?
He can't be because he's a program, NEO is human. But then again, maybe all the other 'ones' were programs:
Architect: Your 5 predecessors were, by design, based on a similar predication...
But then he says 'Neo experienced this differently' which would mean they were in the same situation, but Neo got it another way. Which would eman they were all human except they didn't fall in love.
Which leads back to my theory, If Merv is a program, he can't be a former 'one'...

I dont think Merv is a former one but i can see why some might;
101 connection: has anyone explained this? however the loop train has 101 inside its carriage, (look in zion arkives), so might not mean much.
Persephone says Merv used to be like Neo: im sure this means he had feelings, she does feed off emotions.
when merv is watching the cake he says to neo 'you can see it, yes?': this means merv can see code like neo, but can other programs?
