That's the wife of Agammemnon, no?

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 10:48, 1 reply, 16 years ago)
Was trying to remember who the antagonist of "Electra" was

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 10:51, Reply)
Ahhh
I only know who she is because my Dad once claimed he wanted to call me Agammemnon, and mum vetoed him.

My mother considered Miranda
(thing to be marvelled at) but decided against it as I'd be labelled "Randy". Oh how apt.

Better than being named 'Clytemnestra'
It'd be shortened to 'Clit', and no bloke'd be able to find you.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:02, Reply)
"NO! IT'S "CLYYY" LIKE "FLY"! "CLYT" LIKE "KITE"!"

Hehehehe ;)
You can protest all you want, the kids will call you Clit.

apparantly I came within a hair
of being called Ianthe

My father attempted Giselle and Mercedes
With my surname?!

I just eneded up with the most boring name evarrr. Sorry Applebite.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:05, Reply)
Haha, that's okay.
I like my name but it is fairly dull. My mum was always set on it though, even if I'd been a boy, I probably would have ended up with the same name.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:06, Reply)
Apparently at the first scan they thought I was twin boys.
Offended much?

Mum was going to call me William and David.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:08, Reply)
Haha, how would that even work?

something about the way I was lying in the womb
plus it was 25 years ago, the doctor probably just shone a torch at her belly and looked for shadows.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:33, Reply)
that is excellent

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:17, Reply)
I love my name!
Wouldn't change it at all.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:13, Reply)
Yeah but your name is awesome.
I love my Nanna's name. Lena Valente, but she is does have the benefit of being Italian. I'd like to change my middle name to Lena, but it doesn't work with my first name, I'd have to do it the other way round.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:15, Reply)
That is a lovely name
I have two middle names, one's boring, the other's my old family name, and I'm obligated to have a son to pass it on to...
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:16, Reply)
I kind of have
though it's hard to remember who calls me what. For example, Applebite met me as one, Al met me as the other. I just let people call me whatever they want.

To which of course someone said "Ok, What-ever-you-want"
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:26, Reply)
Well
I'll just call you Lampito then
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:28, Reply)
FUCK THAT'S THREE NOW

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:29, Reply)
well what would you prefer?
Edit: Electra?
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:30, Reply)
Facebook name is fine
Pretty much any incarnation. I'm known as Dozzles to one person, though it's only her that calls me it
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:39, Reply)
I rather like that name
but it seems a bit personal. I'm sure I'll think up a good variation
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:48, Reply)
Oh on here called me Lampito
I meant who calls me what IRL
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:52, Reply)
I might call her Clytemnestra

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:29, Reply)
I'll sew up the neckhole of your t-shirt and stab you after you put it on after your shower

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:38, Reply)
My mo' will pierce through your stitching
And then I'll politely ask why you're in my bathroom with a knife.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:40, Reply)
Well if you insist on calling me Clytemnestra I may as well act that way

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:42, Reply)
I suppose it would be my fault

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:43, Reply)
And for taking Cassandra into your bed
I like that name.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:43, Reply)
So do I
Didn't I also sacrifice our daughter for good winds to sail to Troy?
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:45, Reply)
Yeah, but Orestes and Electra don't give a fuck about that
You were a complete twat to be honest though. But then again so was eveyrone
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:46, Reply)
My vague recollection of studying the Aeneid returns
Yeah, bunch of wankers, the lot of them.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:48, Reply)
Some of them were nice
no-one has a bad word to say about Patroculus

Fucking bumder.

:(
He was a bit thick. And definitely a bit of a gayer. But he was nice
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 12:15, Reply)
If my sister had been a boy, my mum wanted to call her
"Saracen" after the Gladiatior. Considering my last name, it actually goes fairly well.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:02, Reply)
hahah it scans well!
I want to name my next cats either Strabo (if he has dodgy eyes) or Ryuk (if he's black)

Yeah the last one's not entirely related.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:04, Reply)
When I get my dogs,
The Old English Sheepdog is going to be called Bosco and the northern inuit dog Artemis.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:05, Reply)
Oh god we're discussing naming our pets.

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:06, Reply)
It's that or microbes revision.

Was meant to meet someone outside about 10 mins ago to go to the library
WHOOPS

This is what b3ta does to you.
It sucks in life and eats time.

Fuck work :(
I'll be 45 mins away from done this time tomorrow

The next pet I have will be called 'Rage'
Or my firstborn will.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:08, Reply)
My mate said he's going to name his kids the first the he says when he sees them.
A boy was going to be something awesome that I can't remember. And a girl?
"Fuckitsagirl"

I like that a lot!

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:11, Reply)
I hope my womb remains barren

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:11, Reply)
Eh, I'd be a shit Dad, so I hope I don't have kids
For one, I'd call it Rage, regardless of sex.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:14, Reply)
Imagine shouting that in the park.
Everyone would think you were a mental.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:16, Reply)
They do so anyway
"RAAAAAGE!! Dinner's ready!"
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:17, Reply)
I told a woman at work what I wanted to name my hypothetical children
and she promptly stole it. I was livid.

When the kid was born she changed it though, thankfully.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:09, Reply)
What was it?

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:10, Reply)
NO stealing
but I want to call them Scarlett and Maisie. She stole Scarlett, having told everyone she was going to call it Charlotte.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:35, Reply)
look at /talk now
for some cross b3ta hive mind action.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:37, Reply)
ooooooh
spooky!
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:50, Reply)
No worries,
I don't even want kids. Hypothetical or otherwise.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 12:12, Reply)
When I used to want a kid
I told my cousin my name and she took it, but then she changed it, and then she had a boy, so she couldn't call him that anyway.
And now everyone is calling their kid that so they're welcome to it, and I changed my mind last year, so I won't be having any.
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:15, Reply)
You wanted to call your daughter
Chardonay?

now that is a fucked-up play

(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 10:53, Reply)
What's even more fucked up is that it has a "happy" ending

Orestes?
I guess he does a bit
(, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 11:02, Reply)
No, Sophocles' Electra
there's no hint of what the fuck's going to happen in the next play

Ohhh
think we were on a different wavelength there for a moment. I was remembering the whole Orestes being judged thing
