“So do you have a name, or do I get to call you God from now on?” quipped Dreanna.

“A name…” He replied almost absentmindedly. He had several names, countless names throughout the eons. So which one to choose?

Before he could fully process the request, an answer “Eric. Eric Bamber.” Interesting choice, he mused.

But it did fit the situation, didn’t it? Wasn’t that what this body was called when he was corporeal? Before his species evolved from beings not much different from Dreanna.

“Eric? What kind of name is ‘Eric Bamber’ for a god??” Dreanna started to blurt out, just catching herself in the nick of time. “Nice to meet you Eric” she replied instead.

“So what happened here?”

“Dunno” Eric replied cheerfully.

“What do you mean ‘dunno’ I thought you knew everything!”

“Interestingly enough, so did we.”

While it was the straight answer she’d been looking for, that was little consolation… it had definitely turned into an “oh shit” moment.
