[adamanteus]

can I ask you something? Adam Ant fan?

Dear me, no! I chose my name for Crotalis adamanteus .... the Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake... the best Rattler I ever kept!

Plus, I think it kind of suits me.....

1. Impervious to pleas, persuasion, requests, reason
   "he is adamant in his refusal to change his mind"
   - adamantine, inexorable, intransigent
2. Adamant and similar words are used to refer to any especially hard substance, whether composed of diamond, some other gemstone, or some type of metal. Both adamant and diamond derive from the Greek word αδαμας (adamas), meaning "untameable". Adamantite and adamantium (a metallic name derived from the Neo-Latin ending -ium) are also common variants.
