He was a real guy who helped organize the Tower of Babel. http://www.antelope-ebooks.com/RELIGIOUS/Gen06.html
Does he sound like a nimrod to you?

""Look," God said, gazing down on what man was doing, "the people have one language, and work together for a common purpose. If we don't put a stop to it, nothing that they purpose to do will be too hard for them. Let's go down and confound their language, so that they can't understand one anothers speech."
That really makes God seem like a jerk...or a spoiled little kid kicking over anthills.

Nimrod is a descendent of Noah's bloodline and is also the father of western astrology. He is the son of Queen Semiramis, who was so beautiful that when she stepped out onto a balcony during a skirmish battle between two factions, the soldiers all stopped fighting just to admire her beauty. Nimrod supposedly married his mother Semiramis. Nimrod was a greatly skilled warrior and hunter in his time

Nimrod was the son of Semiramis, who gained control over the masses by claiming that her her dead husband's son, which was inside her womb at the time was conceived miraculously.
When her son, Nimrod was born, she married her son and said he was a God.
She instituted the "confessional" (which she used to blackmail her subjects) and Nimrod was responsible for astrology. Their story was one of the inspirations behind the politicians who wanted to create a world religion that could be used to develop a world superpower - Christianity.
In fact, it was early statues of Semiramis and NImrod (Queen of heaven and her son) that later became the statues of the virgin Mary and Jesus.

Nimrod had a monumental role in world developments after the Flood. However, his name is listed in the Bible only four times. Of those four, only three are direct references.

Nimrod is a fictional character in the flawed, man-made book that has duped millions of people into believing this is the word of God.

I think the name Nimrod and the insult Nim-Rod are two separate things...
