| It's a sneaky breed, this type of spammer. They register and go around posting junk like "I agree with you!" and "Cool thread!" Meanwhile, their signatures link to the sites they're advertising. |

| I SO have to laugh. This spammer's efforts have just been foiled by the fact that this board seems disposed to log people out without provokation. |

| As Syera said, "Donner" is "thunder" in German. And the "a" in the end of Donna nearly sounds like the "er" in "Donner" if pronounced lazily. And no, I don't think I've used "Morgana" before. Don't know where you got that one from. |
How did I manage to miss her explanation?

Oooooh yes - that's where I heard it. |

Not to mention a name used in Spanish-based cultures. "Donna" is cool any way you look at it!  |

I like that pun much better than "Thundra"; at least Donna is a real name. |

That one just seems so random when you read it thinking English. So is "Donn" or something to that effect "thunder"?
And why do I feel like I've heard the name "Morgana" before? Did you use it one time? |

Oh, I have that. It's a disease that exists in another universe, and I caught it during my visit. It messes with your brain so that when you look in the mirror, it looks like you're a cartoon. Because it effects your brain, you think you're scared by it, and run around the room looking for little green men, because they must've been messing with all the mirrors in your house.

| The thing about Thundra that always bugged me is that there's no "th" sound in Spanish and the "u" sounds like "oo", not "uh". So her name should be inpronouncable to her; she should call herself Toondra. At least she calls him "Iaho" instead of "Iago" most of the time. |

Thundra - Donna
El Fatal, Donna and Morgana make sense, since they're kind of a translation of the English names. |

| Well, a lot of the series names are puns so they wouldn't make any sense in another language. |
