What's in a Name?

Calavera = The word calavera or (calaverita) means skull in Spanish, but the term is also used to refer to rhyming mock-obituaries that poke fun at living politicians or other prominent citizens, written especially around the season of Day of the Dead.

A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Think your real name means something like 'the anointed'. :laugh:

Or okay, messiah or follower of jesus too. Um, in the feminine form that is.

Um, lutra doesn't go that deep.. it's just me loving/admiring the 'mustelidae' family (of mostly.. small, nocturnal, solitary living yet playful and intelligent predators). The ermine, the martens, the badger and yeah, the otter as well.

Lutra lutra is just the taxonomical name for the common (to the Northern Hemisphere) fresh water 'habitatting' otter. I just like the creature and.. lutra is a name that seem to fit me also.

My real name is Dutch only, I suppose.. even sounds funny for nat. English speaking folks, I reckon.
