08 May 02 - 12:27 PM (#706752) Subject: Authentic Indian Name From: Leeder A propos of the thread on Blues Names, you can also get an Authentic Indian Name, from a CBC radio comedy program, "The Dead Dog Café". Their website is http://www.radio.cbc.ca/programs/deaddog/ . The show is a tad controversial. I see it as slyly poking fun at Caucasian attitudes towards First Nations people, or First Nations people making fun of themselves, but some people see it as racist. Anybody else got an opinion? Anyway, I went so far as to get an Authentic Indian Name for myself. (signed) Raoul Telepathic Badger |

08 May 02 - 04:40 PM (#706936) Subject: RE: BS: Authentic Indian Name From: SharonA Using my first name with mother's maiden name worked out pretty well... Annie Interesting Eagle. The alter ego (evil twin?) of that one, using my middle name with my mother's maiden name, is Mabel Neon Dodobird. As long as we're spinning the wheel, I figured I should look up Pat Sajak (Saul Spiked Chincilla) and Vanna White (Gwendolyn Wingtip Weasel). Your results may vary!

No negative comments on the show in general, either. My wife Marge is Eileen Zealous Singer. My son Murray is Norman Dismal Singer. We discovered the show while driving across Canada, one summer when it was on every day in reruns. We listened to it day after day, and it joined History Bites and The Iron Chef on the list of cult radio and TV shows that Murray (er, Norman) and I share. If you like this kind of stuff, and don't know those shows, you might check www.ironchef.com (unofficial website with links to official ones) and www.historybites.com for availability in your area.

09 May 02 - 05:30 PM (#707678) Subject: RE: BS: Authentic Indian Name From: gnu The only way to get your true "Indian" name is to be named by a true "Indian". My Native Brother from the Four Winds Reserve of Bouctouche, New Brunswick thought long and hard before he gave me my name, of which I am so proud. We worked on several construction sites and he was witness to my wise and sage ability to move money, men and machinery on time and on budget, while attending to the smallest of details, ensuring that the finished project would meet the exacting details of my client : "Big White Prick." They call me "Prick" for short.... a feather in my cap, I'd say. |

Likewise, Edna Rain (who plays Gracie Heavy) has the Authentic Indian Name of "Sandra Simulated Gizzard"!!!
