From CNN's article on the victims of the LAX shooting:

"Hen's parents, Avinoam and Rachel, emigrated to Los Angeles 12 years ago. She also had two younger brothers, Nimrod and Udi."

I've heard that name before somewhere (Nimrod).

I think its from LotR or from The Silmarillion....

No. Old Testament. Nimrod was a mighty hunter.

And here, apparently in Hayabusarider's favor, is some proof

It's not an uncommon Israeli name. Neither is it uncommon to find Israeli girls named Maran :Q

FlipFlop the racist has spoken once again.

You don't like Jews, Asians or Blacks, according to your posts.
Wanna tell us who you do approve of?

 

[Dudd]

Does anyone else besides Cyberien think that pointing out people's names is racist? Someone needs to remove his head from his ass.

 

[Jmmsbnd007]

I know someone from school named that. We call him a nimrod all the time, but it's actually pronounced "nim-road". Also, my aunt's name is "uzi"

 

[Jmmsbnd007]

Relax guys, he's just curious.

No. Old Testament. Nimrod was a mighty hunter.

That may be, the two aren't mutually exclusive.

But I'm sure I've read it in some fantasy book, because the name is familiar, but I've never read the bible.

I had a friend from israel back in high school, his name was aaron, but he wanted us to pronounce it 'urine'

Kinda weird at first, but we got used to it...

Might be a fun book. Let me know if you remember the name?

 

[DigDug]

What the hell was racist about that? I hadn't known Nimrod was an actual name, but an insult. Jeeeeeez.

 

[EdipisReks]

there are a lot of "n" names in the silmarillion, none of which is "nimrod", as far as i can remember.

heh kinda like Annibal in "The Assignment", where everyone thinks its anibelle like a girls name instead of ani -baul.

good movie though.

There's a science fiction book written by Charles Sheffield called "The Nimrod Hunt" (originally written in 1986, and re-written and expanded in 1993 and renamed as "The Mind Pool") which was pretty good.

When I was in high school, "nimrod" was occasionally used as a mildly derogatory noun: "you nimrod!", implying someone was an idiot or did something stupid.
