nusenu, I just looked at your list at
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2015-April/037384.html
I don't know which ones are the relevant exit nodes now, I am just
throwing this in, in no particular order, just picking whatever sounds
familiar.

Chrysanthos (or chrysanthemon) means golden flower in Greek, it is also a
name
Kyriakos means "the Lord's" or "of the Lord", also a name
Menelaos is from Greek mythology (Trojan war)
Lycos - various figures in Greek mythology
Lucrece is a Roman figure Ovid wrote about, Shakespeare picked it up in
The Rape Of Lucrece
Maximianus a Roman Emperor

Ottmar is a male German first name

Gennadius is a moth
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennadius_%28moth%29
Obana/Callopistria is a moth
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Callopistria

Dagda seems to be Irish mythology, says wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dagda

Byxus: byxus.dll was some Windows malware, says the search engine.

Some of the node names look like permutation cyphers:
Ismche - chimes
Ardenem - amender
But this is really just a lucky guess.
