FabSwingers.com forum: Cesare Borgias

Watching The Borgias box set it occurred to me what a great name Cesare is (pronounced Chezeray for those that haven't seen it). I also like Che.

If you were to name a child after a historical figure what would you choose?

That's a fucking terrible name to call a child. As is Che.

I like the sound of the name Cesare, it would probably go down better than Adolf for a boy and Myra for a girl (though the name Ian hasn't suffered).

If it were a girl, I wouldn't mind Cleopatra and a boy Alexander. (Nearly did call my son that).

Always thought MedusaTheSeducer would make a good Fab username

"How about Caligula? Hell of a name. Rolls off the tongue

His real name was Gaius. Caligula was a nickname he picked up when his father took him on a military expedition to Germany. The troops liked him and made him a mini-centurion's outfit.

And in particular "caligulae" were 'little boots'.

He ruled as Emperor Gaius, wasn't popular (obvs), and his successors and their biographers used his diminutive nickname to put him down.

Love it. Thanks for the history lesson. I thought you'd have something to say.

Little boots eh? Who'd 'a' thunk it?

As I said, have a read about Elagablus, a 3rd cent. boy-emperor who gave Caligula more than a run for his money.

"Pale Death beats equally at the poor man's gate and at the palaces of kings.""

But more likely to die a bloody death in a toilet if you are an Emperor like Elagabalus

It doesn't mention the golden pillar the Historia Augusta tells of.

"Apparently", Elegabalus had a pillar made, sheathed in gold, and he would climb it and occasionally think about jumping off.

Nut job.

I thought you were about to say he did something else with the pillar. Jumping off it is quite tame compared to his Waterwheel

I think I would go with Pythagoras.

It would come in handy in maths when he could dispute anything as he owns the theorem.

Not a historical person per se, but 'Tyrannosaurus'. Could shorten it to 'Terry'.
