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....

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:
--- Quote from: Nutmeg Guy on February 29, 2008, 11:26:18 pm ---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.
