The Three Caballeros Gender-Bender
Through the magic of anagrams (and goofy New Year's Day over-celebrating), one discovers what the parents of Daividh Duck, Jose CheBanoca, and Nanchito might have named their kids, had their kids been born the opposite sex...
Daividh Cargill=Hildagard Civil ("The Polite Battle-maiden")
Pavlos Spiro=Alvis Propos ("a propos"?)
Nanaea Rachel=Hanael Arcane ("Mysterious Angel of December")

The Greek Pagan name behind "Nanaea Rachel"-
*A lean Arachne*
Arachne was the original spiderwoman in Hellenic mythology.

Creepy-crawly
Wasn't Arachne that rather impertinent mortal who royally pissed off the Goddess Athena? Oooo, Arachne came to a bad end.
I think I'll stick to the World Wide Web, instead of Arachne's web. :)

Yes, but didn't Athena get pissed off because Arachne demonstrated she could spin just as well as Owl-Girl? Athy's a prototype for pointy-haired bosses everywhere.
Assumind the three caballeros, Nanaea Rachel, Daividh Cargill and
Pavlos Spiro were to merge, what might be the resultant synthesis?
* Savage paranoid phallic hard-core villains?
* Parochial vaginal arch-villain desperados?
* Philosophical ravagers and a cranial devil?
..or maybe a...
* Sharp aphrodisiacal vandal: evil or angelic?

As ever, you are the undisputed, reigning King of Anagrams! The best I could come up with for "The Three Caballeros of Behind the Name" is: "Both the fearsome and nice heather bell." Hmmm... Nah, I don't think so. :)

Woo-hoo! Pavlos Spiro and Bobby Labonte! Both my heroes are #18!
"Woo-hoo! Pavlos Spiro and Bobby Labonte! Both my heroes are #18!"
Yes, but "Notable Bobby" will always be #18, whereas our hero, "Lovs Priapos", is steadily climbing his way to the top of the Anagram League Table of Top Contributors.
I can't wait til "Lovs Priapos" climbs on top of 'em all, although I may have to cover my eyes. ;)

Just what the world needs, Nan. A Greek guy with a bigger libido. Nice goin'.

ROTFWL!!!

...aaah, and if you had met me before the operation...
Lovs Priapos!!! I love it...brings images of Priapos time-transported to Vegas,holding a Martini, all the drooling babes wondering it that's a roll of Euros behind his polyester toga! As of now CheBanana is dead, long live Lovs Priapos!
From Acolyte to Avatar in one easy step...
It just occurred to me... That anagram of your name, "Lovs Priapos" makes a fine title for a worshiper of Priapos... But if you should decide someday to more closely identify yourself with him, you could also go by the title of: "Priapos's Lov".
Isn't it interesting, how the Oracle of the Anagram can reveal who our patron pagan deities might be? I've got two -- Nanaea and Hanael! We'll have to find a patron pagan deity for Daividh now. :)

Daividh the Pagan
...you're right,better avatar than acolyte! "Lovs Priapos" may get me misunderstood in some circle :PPP
Tried to detect what's Pagan behind the name Daividh Cargill. Indeed, the name includes several characters from Anglo-Saxon, Hindu, Egyptian and Hellenic lore and mythology, including: Alaric, Algar, Gaia, Hilda, Idril, Lida, Ra, Ravi and Virgil.
There are few full-fledged anagrams however:
„h Virgil Hilda cad.
„h Virgil Chad Lida.
„h Algid Ravi child.
„h Chill Ravi gaddi. (note: a gaddi is a cushion on a throne for a prince in India)
„h Had livid garlic (not pagan per se , but should ward-off Vlad).
„h Rigid lava child (definite mythological imagery)
„h Avid child grail (ditto)
PS: Were Cargills not used by the Germans during WWII to cool the engines of their amphibious Volkswagens?

Dual Deities for Daividh
"...you're right,better avatar than acolyte! "Lovs Priapos" may get me misunderstood in some circle :PPP"
@@@@ Of course, "Priapos's Lov" might be too much of a mouthful (no pun intended), so you could always use "Priapos Lovs" instead, as you blissfully skip off to Pagan Sunday School singing: "Priapos lovs me, this I know / coz Nanaea told me so..." :)
I tried anagramming "Daividh Cargill" as well, keeping in mind that only a Celtic deity would do for our Daividh. I came up with TWO patron pagan deities for him!
"Daividh Cargill"="Daghda & Llir, Vici"
Which is Latin for: "[in the name of] Daghda [and] Llyr, I Conquered"
"PS: Were Cargills not used by the Germans during WWII to cool the engines of their amphibious Volkswagens?"
@@@@ I think I've seen cargills on James Bond's Aston Martin!

Scraping the bottom of the "Celtic Deities for Daividh" barrell
I apologize in advance.
"Daividh Cargill, Etymologist" yields:
God! Avalloc dirties mightily!
A virility delights cold Ogma.
Vitriolic lady delights Ogma.
Evil gorillas ditch tidy Ogma.
Livid, ghostly, dogmatical Eri.
Tastily virile godchild Ogma.
Evil Artio: slightly odd magic.
Midir lived shaggily to Clota.
Doggishly admit virile Clota.
Llyr Ai a good victim's delight.
Mightily love Dagda clitoris.
Mighty Avalloc girl oddities.
Gloomily stitch virile Dagda.

Daividh's got a lot of catching up to do, when he finally returns
The question is... Which Celtic god will Daividh now select as his special, pagan patron deity? Thanks to you, P.L., Daividh is spoiled for choice. :)

The Two Caballeros?
...and then there were two.

Pish tosh! Just flew in from Kintuckie and boy are my...never mind.
"Priapos Lovs"? A Greek porn star name if there ever was one! You must be the one on the screen that's not a goat...
On second thought, Priapos Lovs could be a LATVIAN porn star name. They're famous for pluralizing (to us) all their proper names. Unfortunately, a typical Greek male in Latvia would look more like a bank robber (like 1/2 of French Canadian guys -- the other half look like Maurice Chevalier) than a porn star.
Have I insulted you enough now? Gee, it's good to be back.
THE Dagda (always "The") and Llir are kickass Celtic gods. The Big Kahuna and The Head Lifeguard! I like it!

Welcome home, Daividh Duck. We missed you. :)

Thankee :)
I'm afeerd I'll be off all of the week of Jan 15-20, as Yoonited Van Lines comes in, packs my life away, and hauls it up to I-75, Exit 87. I'll see if the library folks will let me use one of their powerful supercomputers Pooh, Tigger, or Kanga for short periods then, just to stay sane.
Actually, Nan, I never figured you as one who herded Beverly Cleary books all day (is the old dear still alive? She's at least 87). I sorta had you pegged as the kind of person who might work somewhere up Nicholls Road...?
Don't answer here, of course.

Whats the equivalent of Normal Bates in Gaelic?
Do you really think I'd brave the Gates of Hell (in Italian, Verrazano), outrageous tolls, mountains of roadside litter, fear that I've forgotten my suicide kit, and the labyrinthine tangle of Long Island parkways simply to stalk a female respondent to this Website? Even one so evilly toothsome as Our Nan?
If I was so inclined, the myriad honeys of the Accounting department are just down the hall, without even a risk of slipping on ice in the parking lot.
Besides, Mother would be furious.
(You'll find, Buddy, that the only real consolation of growing older is that the pool of younger women grows every day.)

Mustn't forget that Priapos was also the patron god of a good cigar:
