I found the following quote in the “Learning Latin” forum, and followed it up here-:bows to Jeff:.

Nemo! Qui dicit ut esse zealot malum sit?
I’m having trouble following this whole discussion, but I just wanted to comment on this word “Nemo”. I looked it up and it means “no one, nobody”. So the recent movie “Finding Nemo” really means “Finding Nobody”!
I learned that Nemo means “no one, nobody” yesterday, while reading Blaise Pascal, and I thought it particularly interesting that Jules Verne’s character from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea would choose to call himself “Captain Nemo.”
If you’re familiar with the book, you know that Captain Nemo cut himself off from the world of men and retreated to his submarine, becoming, essentially, “Nobody”. I thought that was so neat!

I believe that the name was chosen on purpose, for just that reason… and who says that learning Latin can’t add interest to current reading!

I agree!
Yes, that’s very neat. I learn something new everyday on this forum. ;D
My brother actually says Finding Nemo is a really good movie, my question is, what is it about? I mean, with the main character “Nobody”?? ???

Well, you’ll just have to go watch it! 
It’s good, although I liked Monsters Inc more because of the “cute” factor. Finding Nemo is about a dad (he’s a fish, btw) who’s looking for his lost son Nemo.

I see, thanks! (I will end up watcing it by the way, my brother already had me promise that. 
)
There was also a movie entitled “My name is Nobody”.
The first character that bore the name “Nobody” in Western literature is Ulysses, in Homer’s Odyssey. The Cyclop asks for his name : Ulysses answers “Outis”, meaning Nobody. When the Cyclop has been blinded, he runs out shouting. The other Cyclops ask them : “Who dit it ?” He answers : “Nobody”. Because it is in the middle of the night, the other Cyclops say : “He’s gone mad ! Let’s return to bed !” An early gag.
I remember that! Well…I didn’t read it in Greek, of course, but I remember it from my English copy.
