I picked two out for my husband- "Braying *kitten*", and "Man Who Knows Everything".

Mine would be "Drives Like the Wind" :bigsmile:

    I was actually assigned a 'secret' indian name at camp when I was a kid. It was (something about shyness) Peacock. I thought it was a cool name because it was a contradiction and it expressed both sides of my nature well. Of course it was given to me after five summers there so I guess the counselors knew me pretty well! :flowerforyou:

    Ahead of you on this one--when I was a kid and first found out I had Native American in my ancestry--albeit no more than 1/8--I was so excited! I was determined to live like a Native American! I got so mad at my mom that she wouldn't let me take my bed out of my room and sleep on the floor :tongue:

    Anyway, I came up with my own name based upon reading some books and seeing how Native Americans would earn/receive their names. So I named myself when I was like 8

    My Native American name is: Yellow Bear.

    Don't ask me how I came up with that--who can remember what I did 38 years ago! But that's what I decided on then.

    There is a female Native American (Cherokee) named Wilma Mankiller.

    I want her last name.

    "Yes, Ms. Mankiller, of course you can have whatever you like!"

    Let's see Jamerz could be "He who wears loincloth with stars"

    Me...let's try out Crazy running bird....long ago on CB radio( that certainly ages me!) I was Sandpiper, after the shore bird who scurries all over the beach...never in a straight line. so in an effort to lose weight part of my mission is to go back to that more active lifestyle and ..eat like a bird(small meals) so that should work!!

    Foot in mouth. Both for my bendy yogininess and my uncanny ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

    I think BEFORE needs to use is Indian name exclusively on here. BEFORE is too confusing.

    I dont think "DumbAsSh#T" would be appropriate nor would "Totem Pole."
