Adonis

Adonis

The veldpaap has named you Adonis (Adonis).

You must accept the name.

Why this name

You argued for the prettier version, or answered Italians with a better-sounding story. Adonis (Adonis) is the historical bentnaam for looks and self-regard named in public. Your vanity put vanity on top.

The historical echo

Cornelis de Bruijn (1652–1726/27), Dutch traveler-artist, bore Adonis. He wrote an initiation account; useful touchstone for how the ceremony and acceptance rule were remembered.

This shareable card describes the name’s quiz mapping; it does not carry another person’s answers.
