While browsing through some Montana newspapers online, I come across some great Indian names. The latest to appeal is Aloysius Big Hair Jr. I think it's the "Jr." bit that I like best. I hate my name.

My neice once dated a guy named Herbie Shite - you have nothing to complain about. Imagine being called Herbie?

Isn't that the name of a car?

We should devise hypothetical Indian names, and suggest what roles those characters might undertake.
e.g. "Roger Kettle" could be a guy who runs a joint sex shop and housewares store.
-
Roger should have middle name "Norman" and surname "Doubt".
He would then be called Roger N. Doubt.

Roger, if your lad was to join the police force and do really well, even on cold nights when he had to wear fingerless gloves to keep his hands cosy while pounding the beat, would that make him a bright copper Kettle with warm woollen mittens?

Yes. Next question.

If he was to join the Police orchestra, percussion section, would he play the...
Okay, I've got things to do.

Has anyone done "Kettle of fish" and "Pot calling the kettle ..." yet?
I wonder if Roger was teased at school.
-
With a name like Mince you have to ask?

Yes, I did it quite recently. (http://board.beaupeep.com/index.php?topic=498.msg8166;topicseen#msg8166)

No it wasn't.

Did you honestly think that question was not rhetorical, or indeed this one?

Do I look as though I did? (That's rhetorical).

Oh, it is, is it?
That's me trying to join in.
I was going to do something about looking up to women who strode above the glass ceiling, but changed my mind.
-
Are you sure it's you trying to join in?
-
Don't tell me it's you! It's not you, is it? It sounds like you, right enough.

Back to great Indian Names.
Running Bear is the sort of Indian name with which we are familiar, or White Dove for the burrds.
However, there were Native Americans with names like Matthew Mudeater. Lazy Boy and Billy Bowlegs. These would seem to be more akin to racehorse names. There are also other names like Bear Looks Down From Fork In Tree.
The great Glasgow cartoonist Bud Neill had a strip called Lobey Dosser which featured Chief Toffee Teeth.
I came up with some of my own, but let's not encourage any Native Americans to view this thread. They wouldn't see the funny side.
1) Elk Who Doesn't See The Funny Side.
2) Bear With Attitude
3) Teddy Two Tummies
4) Hairy Mary
5) Big Bum
6) Ghost Who Walks In A Funny Manner
7) Idiot Who Stands In Doorway Neither Coming In Nor Going Out
8 ) Big Hat Tiny Willy
9) Limp Handshake
10) Eyes Too Close Together.
