Nice. I went with Cthulhu on the Triumph forum that I joined. Lately I've been thinking Todarodes Sagittatus would be a good one for me. Maybe Todarodes Pacificus if I go back to Japanese bikes.

This reminds me of high school. Bear with me...

In high school spanish class, we all had to pick spanish names. Most of us picked the spanish version of our normal names, so Jooseppi might have picked Jose or something like that. As an Andrew, I chose Andres. Half way through the year, we were given the chance to switch names if we wanted. Being bored high school kids, we all picked the most absurd names we could. I became Nacho. One of my pals chose Fiero (which means wild beast). And a third guy decided to name himself Jawaherlal.

Molyapina, you are the new Jawaherlal. But to me, you will always be the Juice.

Jawaherlal... the meaning escapes Google Translate. What does it mean?

The Juice? Oh. My. Head. That's... not the worst, actually.

Hahah, it's weird seeing my username show up on the forum. I have a split-second reaction of "Who is that?" before realizing that it's me.

I like the name, though on first impression it sounds like one of Tinkerbell's pixie minions in charge of chassis lubrication and fluid changes in pixie hollow

Jawaherlal is the first name of the second Hindi president, after Mahatma Gandhi was killed. It's the first name of Mr. Nehru, the dude who gave us the jacket.

Ring, ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

I think that is why it was such a funny name for a Spanish class. It had nothing whatsoever to do with the Spanish language or heritage. The teacher could never remember and/or pronounce Jawaherlal, and accidentally/jokingly called him Ishkabibble once. From that day forward, our classmate's name, of course, became Ishkabibble.

Bonus points if anyone can identify anything real associated with the name Ishkabibble.

We should have a poll as to what my new name should be. Maybe even auction the naming rights
