Well according to weather.com's name list, Nemo is "a Greek boy's name meaning 'from the valley,' means 'nobody' in Latin." But yeah, honestly, when i hear about Nemo, I'm going to think about a clownfish who got taken by divers and had an adventure.
Most of TWC's names for these winter storms are okay because they're names of gods and goddesses, etc. The only weird one is "Q": the Broadway Express subway line in NYC. Really?!?
The name Nemo is almost a paradox, but that also makes it very intriguing. Nightwish wrote a song entitled Nemo, which seems to be about lacking an identity.
http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~nemo/nemo.htmlNemo is an Oromo word meaning "The Man". Wow, you say... But wait. In Latin, the same word means "Nobody"! In Homer's Odyssey, when Ulysses blinds the Cyclops, the Cyclops asks him: "Who are you?", to which Ulysses replies (in the Latin translation): "Nemo." When the Cyclops was later asked by his father Neptune: "Who did this to you?", he answers "Nobody did it."So, if you were to call someone Nemo, you could be calling him or her a nobody. You could also be saying "you da man."
As for the clown fish... don't give Disney any more power than they already have. Finding Nemo was ripped off a children's book whose author was given no credit. They're already trying to literally trademark the name Snow White, even though it's public domain. Let's not start whining, "You can't call a storm Nemo" just because Disney used the name for something. The name is much older. And if anything, Disney probably named their famous clown fish after Captain Nemo, who had amazing adventures "20000 Leagues Under the Sea."
