Didn't we have a thread like this way back in the day?
De la lluvia
"of the rain"
in Spanish
An ex-boyfriend thought it up for me when all my attempts at figuring out a name kept getting rejected as already taken.
I didn't know this before.
And this one used to confuse me:
Nutmeg Guy is in reference to an old Connecticut State slogan or nickname. The "Nutmeg State".
I thought why in hell would someone name himself after a
nutmeg? Yes, we had such a thread before. But is was back in the Middle Ages, so it's good Forsythia brought it up again
.
My nick comes from a figure from Greek mythology. Penthesilea was the queen of the Amazons, a tribe of female warriors.
I actually heard it in a British TV series (Cracker), where a character got nicknamed Penthesilea.
I liked the character in the series, I liked the mythological figure and the ring of the name, so it stuck with me.
