The name "Dante' Visceral" was first coined at the Northcote Social Club, in Melbourne, January 2009. It's namesayer was waiting to order drinks with a young woman whom introduced herself as 'Raven'.

With his usual quick wit, he immediately responded casually, "Hi, I'm Dante'". He knew with the name 'Raven' the ravenous young woman would surely be a fan of the writer / poet [[Media:Edgar Allen Poe]] whom wrote 'The Raven', aswell as 'Dante's Inferno'. In much delight, and joy infact, Raven introduced her new friend to everyone at the hip inner city hotel as 'Dante'. Dante' had been bored with his previously common name, and so in a timely act of spontaneity, Dante' was born.

Visceral was later coined in a moment, when according to Dante' himself, not even thinking of names, it popped in his head like a cathartic vision. Whilst it seemed appropriate, he wasn't able to articulate exactly what it meant. A google search led to the [[Media:Oxford On-Line Dictionary]] which remedied this, defining 'visceral' thus: "...dealing with crude or elemental emotions: earthy :instinctive, unreasoning, deep, a visceral conviction>".

Dante' was delighted, as this word which arose from a spontaneous 'visceral' moment, seemed to fit, somewhat appropriately, if not, perfectly, with his personality.

Also, Dante' is, as many of those who know him, a free, fiercely independant, spontaneous, and fervently, 'original' character, and so with 'visceral' being a rare, if not, unknown word, as a 'name', it seemed like a snug hand-in-glove match.
