Eliezer mentioned in a past discussion where he got the name Verres. Iirc it was a reference to someone/something, though I don't remember who/what. (This falsified my standing hypothesis at the time, which was that EY got the name from Latin for "truth".)

"Verres" came from combining "Vassar" and "Herreshoff". Here's the thread you're remembering.
