Travis Nichols: Hello, my name is Travis Nichols. Travis is of Norman French origin, and means to cross over or traverse. It was also a name used by gate keepers, or toll takers as kind of I guess an occupational name. Nichols is based on Nicholas, which comes from the Greek Nickolaus, which is made of two words and I don't know if I'm pronouncing these correctly in Greek, but it's nike which means to conquer, and laos which means people. So I guess in summary Travis Nichols will take your money, and then conquer you.
