Re: Are the names Valery, Valentina, Lollace, and Vlad relayed to the name Candace
In 2000 there was only one message board. Some of the posts were just people opining about names, but the main topic was nerd stuff - usage and etymology. When the boards were separated, the separation wasn't retroactive. The original board was archived as Facts.The post you're talking about is, I think, just someone nerdy, trying a little too hard to be funny. There's no in-joke there.
It's a riff on 'every Tom, Dick, and Harry' but choosing Russian names apparently at random.
Saying they're all named after the same thing is nonsensical. It's just supposed to be silly.- mirfak
