I'm totally going to "Umm, ACTUALLY" you just because I don't know much but I'm in love with history and the Greco-Roman world.
The word 'zephyr' actually comes from 'Zephyros', the Greek god of the west wind, which was considered the gentlest wind. The warm west wind brought the spring season. Even today the name of the god means a warm and light breeze, which is cool. Er... warm.
As for RedFacedWalrus, I think I was given the name by Page or Wilbur or RG. Can't believe it was five years ago. I'd like to think I'm a walrus at heart, though, despite being 5' 6'' and 125lbs. I need to exercise more, and then I'll be red-faced. We'll pretend that's where it came from!
EDIT:
I was curious so I looked back on my first post:
I guess I made it up, I have no idea where it came from. I just changed it away from Danielle2. Dang, that's disappointing. But look at all those classic names posting on my welcome post!
