O/T Latin Name Translations

[nottelling]

I am a 'veteran' member but due to the nature of the thread I decided it was best to remain anonymous so as to avoid ridicule and being called a soppy git!

OK, With valentines day fast approaching us I have been thinking on what to buy my uver half, and decided upon a very romantic thing - a star

Now, you can name the star but everything in english is terribly dull and boring, so I've decided to look to Romeo's homeland for inspiration and get her name translated into Latin

Have searched Google but it came up with nowt and I'm at a loss, would anyone be able to help with this one?!

Theres a pint in it for you

What's her full name?

[SGirl]

Hm. Names don't really "translate" into Latin as such. Why not name the star after her and attach some kind of romantic message in Latin instead?

Edited to add: Howzabout:

Semper Amemus (our love is forever)
Amor Vincit Omnia (love conquers all)
Virtutem Forma Decorat (virtue adorns beauty)

Sigh. Nice to see romance isn't dead yet!

I thought that too, but I was too polite to say....

No one on PH know my girlfriends full name. And none of my mates who know my girlfriends full name read PH.

Nearly ballsed up earlier, by replying to a thread using this Name, but as my 'normal' name. IYKWIM.

Right, now that that is sorted time to remove the evidence, Ernest, you couldn't edit you post could you, lots of strategically placed '*'s? Or better still, have

Cheers!

Edited to add, the post where I gave her name, I accidently deleted it, rather than editing it. Oops!

Sounds great till you find out it means 'You have shit for brains'

How about something more realistic:

"Non Excretum Donat."


Or some such.....

I have to admit to considering

"Stercus, stercus, stercus, moriturus sum" (S**t, s**t, s**t, I am about to die)

as my company motto. Thanks Rincewind!!

And Good Omens! Superb book!!

Mind you, I still haven't finished the last Discworld novel.... not one of his better ones IMHO.

Found a couple a while ago that were a bit too similar to some of the others.. Can't remember which OTOH, but guess they can't all be as good..

Perhaps not the most amusing, but it does have its moments. Far more serious than some (all) of the others (It even has a plot ) still worth reading though IMHO.
