Namely, 9

NAMELY

EP-oh-nimz

a word based on or derived from a person's name.
First Known Use: mid-19th century

“What’s in a Name?”
Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, 2.2

9: Casanova: a man who easily charms and seduces women; a womanizer (source: Giovanni Giascomo, 1725-1798, Italian adventurer and memoirist)

A Casanova he was not—
He wasn’t really all that hot,
Despite the fancy clothes he bought.

But still he tried—and still he failed.
His ugly ways were what prevailed.
And soon enough—well, he was jailed.

And just as well (’tween me and you),
For what he did, he shouldn’t do—
Had he not heard of #MeToo!?!
