Latinize Your Life

Posted by David on March 04, 2009
Just For Fun

Apparently, leaving out the notes for my song* caused Diane’s brain to go a little crazy crazier than usual, and she started tweeting about Latin names yesterday.

Before you know it, she’s Latinized the names of a number of tweeple, presented here for your total confusion.

Now, the twist is…only the Latin names and their meanings are listed, not the English names they match up to.

There are three reasons for this :

1. I haven’t asked anyone’s permission to publish their names, and

2. I (we) have obviously not included every single one of my (our) twitter friends here, and I’m too metro to deal with that.  Suck it up.

3. What sort of game would this be if you had all the answers upfront? Duh.

So to start off,  we are:

Carus Lucrorbonus – Beloved Win Good (that’d be me, naturally)

Caelestis Lucrorbonus -  Heavenly Win Good (the delectable Diane, of course)

Here we go then…can you see yourself in any of these?  And if you’re not sure if you’re here, leave a comment and your name so Diane can latinize your life too :)

Disclaimer: Latin scholars (I know you exist), be aware that this may not be entirely accurate in the methodology used.  It was fun though :)   Yes, Diane and I are BOTH nerds…

Teresalbina Arxsciphusmateria -  Smooth fair Town of Pot material

Vasterra Sceptrumconsultum -  Glass of the Earth Rule advice

Christiana Filiusprosperitas -  Christian Son of Prosperity

Iustinus Ferrumartifex -  Just Iron Craftsman

Teresstilus Aequoreus -  Smooth fair Mariner

Princeps Forfex -  Princess Scissors

Typusaltusminus Venari -  Type Noble Little Hunt

Mons Telumillustris -  Hill Spear Famous

Arborpalma Telumillustris -  Tree Palm Spear Famous

**if you’ve not commented yet, tsk tsk, go and do it now. It’s ok, I forgive you.

I'm an Asterix fan from way back so thought i'd easily 'get it'.

I stand corrected!

p.s. just a minor 'whinge… whever i try to use 'open ID to comment it asks me to log in – and i am logged in ( to Wordpress)?? Also the fields don't retain my data like explorer and windows fields do?

Hmmm – not sure what that's about. Before I had this on my blog and was using it on others, it always remembered me fine… I'll contact support about it :)

I think I'm mental…I commented on the wrong post…=/

So happy that you included us! Thinking of having it put on a wooden sign for our new house.
