Thank you! I’m delighted you like it!
Heh! That’s for sure! Where it gets the worst is all the phony American Indian names invented by white people.
Sorry 'bout that, I was just pulling links off of the Wikipedia Latin article external links. If I could edit the OP, I’d get rid of Freelang (the download) and replace it with:
Pardel Lux is already a mock latinization of Pardelluchs, the Iberian Lynx. What that may give in Greek?
Well, lynx is already Greek to start with! Since pardel is a leopard, Ancient Greek for leopard is pardalis, which gives us pardalilynx.
And a Camelopardalis would be a giraffe!
My official Latin name is Lynx pardinus, according to Linneaus, in italics.
Off topic for a second, @Johanna, it’s good to see you around!
The closest I can get to Latinizing my real name is Venia Amnis.
The closest I can get to my dopername is Romanus Homo Hominis. That sounds like a new species, lol.
Nice! The ancient Greek version of my name is longer than it is in English!
In Latin? Iesus Terrapacis.
Bear in mind that Hebrew is older than Latin, so I am, in effect, modernizing my first name.
My surname is “Son of Bartholomew” in Gaelic, so I can opt for either the Latin Bartholomeus, or, if I’m really feeling hyped about myself, I could go with the Greek Ptolemy.
If memory serves, my forename derives from the Gaelic for “noble” and my surname from the Anglo-Saxon for “foreigner/stranger” (or, in the Scottish context “Briton”), so I suppose it could be Peregrinus (or Britannicus) Nobilis. I think I could live with that.
I forgot about my username. That would be Unus Lapis Canis.
I suspect my username is obvious: Taumega or Tēmagnum.
I’m still hesitant to reveal my somewhat unique first name, but I will say my middle name would be Iacobos or Iacobus.
On review, this isn’t completely correct, because Einsteins is genitive, but my school Latin has degraded so much that I can’t do the declination. Someone to help me out?
A righteous, beautiful goatherd would be anyone’s choice! It practically sings!

But only once, on a hill.
Hey, thanks! I’ve been around the whole time, it’s just that I read about 2,000 times as much as I write ever since we moved to Discord. Must be the infinite scrolling feature.
See, I’m not so sure that this is a smart idea. Because now I have a reasonablely good idea of what your surnames are - you’ve both pretty much just told me. @Smapti , when Samuel Johnson toured the Scottish Highlands, he met the chief of your clan, who impressed him by correcting Johnson when the lexicographer called him “Mr. Mac[Smapti]”: “I, and I alone, am Mac[Smapti]”. And @PatrickLondon , you share your name with a famous Scottish warrior, yes?
Granted, there’s probably not much harm in revealing just your surnames, but still. Mine is the Scottish form of a common color name, so I could easily translate it into Latin. But I feel weird about doing so.
My Doper name is already in Latin. My real name appears in the Bible and thus is already transliterated into Koine Greek. Done and done.
