Cruithne?
What kind of sci-fi geek name is that? It’s like Cthulu only different. When you let the geeks do the naming, you inevitably get Klingon sounding crap like “Cruithne”.
On the other hand, they’re the ones who spend hours and days and months searching for these things, so there is justice in letting them name them.
So, I guess Cruithne it is.
http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/cairney/51.htm ~ ignore the Pict part ~ it’s irrelevant. The analyst is trying to call the seagoing Celts who traveled from the Danube to the Mediterranean to Spain by the term Cluthne. And, maybe they were, and maybe they weren’t. The Galatian records in Spain don’t accord them that name, but they do identify the Sons of Ir (the Milesians) as being the first invaders of Ireland and Britain in roughly 700 BC.
