Derrik Fenn's name has gone through 2 name changes. As a HUGE Yu-Gi-Oh! fan at the time of his conception, my original choice was based on my favorite character: Marrik (Malik in original anime/manga) Ishtar. So I went with Merrick. Since I already had a Mai and was attempting to avoid having two siblings with Yu-Gi-Oh! character names, he needed some revision.
The second name for the character was Ulrich, a name I ripped from one of the main characters from another show I loved at the time: Code Lyoko. I mean, I guess it was fine for a little while, but I wasn't really feeling it. Back to the drawing board I went. Still, I really liked Marrik and was determined to have a name similar. Then "Derrik" hit me and made me go, "That's it!"
And there you have it: Merrick=>Ulrich==>Derrik.
