I agree with Nimarata Hailey, everyone should use their real names in social media and everywhere
- Ohhh the irony
  
  Hey, you never know, maybe their real name is Meridian Longitude. I've never heard of Longitude as a last name but I wouldn't put it past some parents to name their kid Meridian.
  
  lol that was sarcasm. I’m not putting my real name on lemmy but I do think it’s funny she doesn’t use her real name either because her maga supporters would go nuts
- I looked it up, and it's actually spelled Nimrata. Which is funny, because it sounds like it would be a romantic language's feminine form of nimrod.
  
  That could be close to the actual etymology. I believe "Nimrod" is the name of a person in the Bible.
  
  Nimrod is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles. The son of Cush and therefore a great-grandson of Noah, Nimrod was described as a king in the land of Shinar. The Bible states that he was "a mighty hunter before the Lord [and]... began to be mighty in the earth".
  Some funny trivia with "might hunter": Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd nimrod, saying something like "nice shot, nimrod!" -- the insult was that Elmer was a bad hunter. But the obscure reference was lost on most people, much less a child audience (myself included), and so nimrod became a generic insult akin to "idiot" or "imbecile.
  
  Maybe I've been playing too much Dwarf Fortress lately, but that quote reads so much like something you'd read in Legends mode lol
- I would love to see how the Trump base would try to pronounce her real name.
