Comment comment by NastyPrincess on 20 February 2008

  1. Cleopatra - There were 7 Cleopatras in her line. Very cool name.
  2. Artemisia - Queen of Halicarnassus Xerxes(also cool man's name) against the Greeks, then helped talk Xerxes out of pursuing his conquest of Greece. Man, what a name!
  3. Helen of Troy - C'mon, you saw Troy.
  4. Enheduanna - the daughter of the great Mesopotamian king, Sargon of Akkad. Enheduanna helped her father solidify his political power and unite the Sumerian city-states by merging the worship of many local city goddesses into worship of the Sumerian goddess, Inanna(Talk about using religion as power).
  5. Zenobia - was a third-century queen of Palmyra, a "warrior queen." Zenobia led her people in a war against Rome.
  6. Semiramis - sounds a it like a communicable disease, but she was the legendary warrior queen of Assyria credited with building a new Babylon as well as conquest of neighboring states.
  7. The Trung Sisters - Trung Trac and Trung Nhi - Vietnamese heroines who ruled briefly as co-queens.
  8. Queen Dahia-Al Kahina - fought against the Arab incursion in North Africa where under her leadership Africans fought back fiercely and drove the Arab army northward into Tripolitania.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I love you. I hope Vnutz realizes it's merely a nerd crush;) Anyways, I am humbled by your awesome list and penitent for my lack of hot historical babe names but alas, as always, space was a factor and these were the ones I came up with off the top of my head. Maybe you should submit your list as coolest historical names, hot babe edition.
