ArchivesRe: I think that PriaposLovs ought to...
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Your Greek name would be *Nanaia Aegis*; Nanaia obviously means "deceptively small and cute but in fact capable of causing great discomfort to those who deserve to suffer." Aegis was Athena 's shield, made of ewe-skin. "Ewe-skin" would cover both your middle and surname :P

Cool! Love it! :) :) :) I knew you would also come up with something cool for the rest. Don't forget Phyllis and Mike C. :)
Daividh had better appreciate the Greek name you came up with for him, coz the anagrammed one I was planning to spring on him was absolutely goofy. I even kept in his favorite name of "Val":
"Val Gil Hilliard Drachmas"

Phyllis and Mike-C
The name Phyllis in itself is as Greek as yogurtpie. Maybe if she cold remind me of her middle- and sur-names, I could come up with alternatives :)
As far as Mike Dylan Campbell is concerned, I gotta work on it a bit to do him justice. Because thus far I only come up with *Phallic Lambda Clymene*, who happens to be leader of the "Hellenic Dykes-on-Bikes Association".

Which explains why our Fearless Leader is a tough "Mike " and not a wussy "Michael " who would be polite to annoying telephone solicitors. ;)
Phyllis ' middle name is "Faye". I dunno if she would be bothered about me posting her surname here, but eh -- I figure it's okay coz she posted it herself way back when she first signed on. It's "Kress".

Phyllis Faye! You have *two* Greek names! Phyllis means "leaf" and "faye" is a shade of grey. "Faya Ousia" -- "grey substance" -- is the source our decision and motivation process.
Kress itself has planty and leafy roots, and words such as "grass," "cress," and "grow" have evolved from it.
All things considered, your new Greek name is henceforth *Gaia Euphoria*, fertile earth.

PriaposLovs and Nanaea
My paternal grandfather changed his name from Kreptconovich (I think), but I can't ask him because he died a number of years ago. It translates to "son of Krepkoi", which I found out Krepkoi translates into "strong" or "strength" (I forget which :D (shrug) ).
PriaposLovs, my middle name comes from Middle English and means "spirit" which is why I sometimes sign with the Gaelic phrase "Sidhe Uaine" (pronounced "she oohana" with the double-o pronounced like in "school"), but Gaia Euphoria sounds just as nice. (Nanaea , if you're still interested, I haven't stopped trying to get your middle name translated into Gaelic.)
Phyllis (Sidhe Uaine)
PS PriaposLovs, by the way, besides dryads, what other tree spirits are there in Greek mythology? I know the dryads were the spirits of the oaks, but I thought there were other tree spirits, like for the olive trees and such. Could you help me here? Thanks

I promise to look into it Sidhe Uaine. But in all honesty you have an advantage over me with all your bibliographical and university resources on the metaphysical realm :)
