Didn’t American Indians commonly name themselves after some signifying vision they had in a dream around the time of adolescence? Hence names like Red Feather, Big Eagle, and the like.

Suppose one of this Indians had a more modernized dream, perhaps of a rifle being used in combat. Then he had to take a surname. Might that result in a Hot Rod Lincoln?

Didn’t American Indians commonly name themselves after . . .

"Tell me, Chief Soaring Eagle, how is it that our people acquire our names?"

"In this manner: that a father, upon hearing of his child's birth, names the child after the first thing he then sees. But why do you ask me this question, Two Dogs ****ing?"
