Sounds like a good move, Rock Chick.

Little Hawk, the Scots have conquered the world. I'd bet there isn't a place on the planet without a whole contingent of people of any colour or ethnicity you can name with last manes starting in 'Mac'.

I had an amusing conversation a few years back with a fellow artist (a very nice man: it was a pleasant exchange, we were at a craft fair) from Les Isles de la Magdalene, a tiny archipalago belonging to Quebec. He was opining that it was the last bastion of pure Acadian culture (and in some sense it is). He began talking of the unfortunate loss of the French language among many of the descended-from-Acadians people in the Maritimes, and how glad he was that he retained his mother tongue. As he waxed eloquent on this sad state of affairs, I noticed his last name, printed on his business cards. It was a very common Scottish surname. "You appear to have lost one familial language, anyway" I pointed out. It was marvellous. he admitted he'd never even thought of the fact his name was Scottish and he didn't know a word of Gaelic, didn't know where the family name originated, or even where in his lineage this Scot had inserted his genes. I saw him at the next year's show, and he had taken it really to heart, researched everything.
