Give yourself a Native American name

We watched Dances With Wolves last night, and for a bit of fun I asked the kids to come up with some native American style names for our family ,

mrs r "always late"
Son "boy who avoids soap"
Daughter " bites like a donkey "

Me "Big Chief Three Legs"


Mrs "Walks With Awkward Gait"

I heard that Tony Blair was giving a lecture to Native Americans and was pleased at the end when they gave him the name Walking Eagle. When Tony left the gathered press asked the native why they had given Tony such a name. They said he is so full of sh@t he can't fly! Allegedly.

Similarly, I worked with a guy who was nicknamed Thrush. He was a irritating c**t.
