Indian Names

I was reading this comedy book by Paul Reiser which had a bit about names, as in choosing names for babies or pets or otherwise. He was making fun of the whole Native American mode of naming where you wait until someone is old enough for some defining event to happen and you name them after it, ie you name them by something that they did. The Kevin Costner movie "Dances With Wolves" taught us all about this. Reiser's book hypothesises how this would go in the Western world where the everyday things we do aren't anywhere near as romantic. "Oh, so do you remember that guy who was always yelling at the vegetables?" "Yeah I remember, Barks At Salad, I wonder how he's going?" And the kids end up getting called "Fell Off His Tricycle" or "Allergic To Nuts"

We were wondering what we'd get if we tried to think up Indian names for some of our friends. Some were easier than others. See if you can spot anyone you know (including maybe you)...

Small Kicking Cook
Collects Blue Things
Reads With Weights
Looks Like A Vegetarian
Runs Up Mountains
Dances With Machines
Belches From Cliffs
Reads Web Comics
Spins With Planets
Speaks In Tongues
Makes Wacky Music

Fond Of Punnishment
Professional Naked Poet

Thinks About Fixing Stinky World
Plots World Domination

We're in there too, but it's hard to come up with Indian names for yourself, except for "I'm Me, Ain't I Great?" Maybe you can think of a better one for one or both of us - and get your sweet revenge all in one comment!
