A brave suggestion

"Chief Screaming Eagle, must we persist in naming children after the first thing seen by our fathers after birth?"

"This is an ancient part of our culture, Steaming Dog Droppings, do you suggest that we abandon it?"

I thought it was by event.

My mother's side of the family has an Osage Nation heritage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osage_Nation The native Americans have quite a few casinos here in the US...maybe I could play their penny slots for free.

LOL... love all these Native American names.

I am reminded of the 'spirit guide' in Terry Pratchett's Disc World novel series. His name was 'One Man Bucket' and when asked how he got his name he replied that it was actually a short form as his full name was 'One Man Throwing a Bucket of Water Over Two Dogs' and that he had a twin brother born a few minutes before him.

"Ahhh" replied the enquirer, "I bet he was called 'Two Dogs Fighting' " to which OMB replied "Oh man, my brother would have given his right arm to be called 'Two Dogs Fighting'!"

I know the one about the Indian Chief who was asked what his wifes' name was. He said 'Five Ponies'. When asked how she got named that. He said 'Nag, nag, nag,nag, nag'.

I have been a TP fan for over 20 years and have almost a full collection of his DW novels as well as 'Johnny and the Bomb' (all read many times). I think I have about 5-6 of his most recent novels missing as they are sometimes hard to track down here in the Great White North and are generally only available from the major bookstores.
