Hannibal

Sorry to butt in. I just wanted to vent how much I dislike that movie for ruining a great boy's name like Hannibal. It's going to take two generations to get that one back into the "usable" column again, if ever. (grumble, mumble, grumble)

It was the name of the day a couple of days ago, and I was delighted to see that it's made up of Hann- (grace) and Ba'al. Grace-dieu Lecter isn't nearly so scarey!

No trouble at all. I like Hannibal too. I like its meaning and the history behind it. It's too bad that it isn't usable.
