Reading their posts back to back...got VonRyan thinking
...those names sound good together...

. Xenopus, genus Xenopus (PRONOUNCED Zenopus) -- African tongueless clawed frog; in some classifications made the type genus of a separate family Xenopodidae.

. Zinaval, origin unknown

Sounds like a great name for a law firm...
but don't know any tongueless lawyers

Cheers! and no offense guys.

...tongueless??? Really?  I find people's shortening of my handle to 'xeno' quite endearing though. Zinabal sounds like one of those medications you take for depression or lower back pain.

SinAnal or possibly Zanadu.  Xenopus sounds like the sucking-armed Octopus but with 10 arms. Actually, both interesting names. I like them.

Hugs,

Xenopus is an alien mollusk and Zinaval was the way to score with Valley Girls back in the 80's by getting them drunk on cheap White Zinfandel.

I thought of the handle really quick.  I was anxious to see the juicy details of a provider I wanted to meet.  The discussion board was an afterthought.  A long afterthought... it seems.

I was discussing Greek History (Greek, as in the country now) with my roomate a few nights before, and maybe the sound of the syllables came from there.  No, I don't know exactly where I got it from, other than that, but the handle really grew on me.

My roomate has claimed I stole it from him, but hasn't documented it.  :-)
