I looked it up, and it’s actually spelled Nimrata. Which is funny, because it sounds like it would be a romantic language’s feminine form of nimrod.

I agree with Nimarata Hailey, everyone should use their real names in social media and everywhere

That could be the actual etymology. I believe “Nimrod” is the name of a person in the Bible.

Nimrod is a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Genesis and Books of Chronicles. The son of Cush and therefore a great-grandson of Noah, Nimrod was described as a king in the land of Shinar. The Bible states that he was “a mighty hunter before the Lord [and]… began to be mighty in the earth”.
Some funny trivia with “might hunter”: Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd nimrod, saying something like “nice shot, nimrod!” – the insult was that Elmer was a bad hunter. But the obscure reference was lost on most people, much less a child audience (myself included), and so nimrod became a generic insult akin to “idiot” or "imbecile.

I would love to see how the Trump base would try to pronounce her real name.

Hey, you never know, maybe their real name is Meridian Longitude. I’ve never heard of Longitude as a last name but I wouldn’t put it past some parents to name their kid Meridian.

lol that was sarcasm. I’m not putting my real name on lemmy but I do think it’s funny she doesn’t use her real name either because her maga supporters would go nuts
