His partner was Semiramis. Symbols associated with her are doves and fish. In some legends, she was said to be raised by doves, and later found by a shepherd. Some versions of her story claim that she was the daughter of a fish goddess and a mortal, but details vary on this.

Queen Semiramis
According to pagan legend, after Nimrod Tammuz died, he descended into the underworld; but through the weeping of his mother, he mystically revived in the springing forth of the vegetation-in Spring! (EZEKIEL 8:14) Much in the same way Queen Semiramis said the evergreen tree symbolized his father's eternal life (Jeremiah 10:1-7). Thus a terrible false religion developed with its sun and moon worship, priests, astrology, demon worship, idolatry, mysterious rites, human sacrifice, and more. The celebration of Nimrod Tammuz's revival is called Ostara (Easter), probably in honor of his mother, who's weeping brought him from the dead. Ostara begins during the Spring Equinox, which is considered holy by pagans. The Spring Equinox occurs on a day in late March when day and night are of equal length, thus its name, Equi-nox.

His partner was supposed to the semi-legendary queen and co-founder of Babylon - Semiramus.
One commentator gives her symbol as the crescent moon with a star at its bottom end. Sound familiar?
