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. :P

There is an old thread like this dating back to, like, April 2006 and probably not updated much since. So it's good to get a fresh start going.

So THAT's what your username means! I've always wondered, 'lluvia!

Yep!  ;D  I get a real kick out of people calling me Del or Dela.  I'm being called "Of" or "Of the".

Did you see the movie "Once upon a time in Mexico"? with Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas?  One of the jokes running through the movie is that the Antonio Banderas' character is called "El"

Cucuy:  He's called "El".  It means "the".
Sands:  I know what it means.

Personally I'm kicking myself for not figuring out your name.  I'd been thinking all this time that it was a personal thing, something to do with kids or your childhood.  D'oh!

My real name is Sue......my surname starts with Kat......so I made Katie out of that.

Birthday is 7th of the 7th......hence the 77....
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Melissa, my Grandfather had a nickname for me too. It was sprinkhaan (sp?) I think he started calling me this just after Dad bought the trampoline and I was always out in the backyard  jumping on it! LOL

Sprinkhaan! Dat is zo schattig!  :-* That's so cute!

:laugh: that's funny!  why a bird beak?????

I still have no idea, but yeah, it's probably because my boyfriend thinks I am cute (which is good, I guess...) and he also sometimes calls me "snuit" which has the same meaning! :)

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?

 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

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.

This is where the U/L comes from in my name, my ultralight aircraft that I like to fly.

I'm so backwards.  I hate/am terrified of flying, but I think I'd love flying an ultra-light.
