Of course you are. ;)
I'd like a normal name too.  All these acronyms are
just very easy to come up with.  I've been lazy. ;)

Don't know where to start...
Greek and Roman mythology?
'Aquilo' the north wind, the ruler of the winds.
'Notus' the south wind
'Flora' goddess of flowers and spring. 
'Arcadia' a district of the Peloponnesus, the home of
pastoral simplicity.
