That's different, how did a Choctaw, get a Mormon name? I wanted to have four kids so I could talk one of them in to naming a boy after my GGrand father John Alma Marchant, so I could call him JAM, the ex put a stop to that.

The only Heber I knew personally was Heber Jentzsch, a senior official In the Church of Scientology...

I was told that when they came to California, they went through Heber, AZ and thought it was a cool name for a kid.

Actually, Uncle Heber was my grandmother's brother. So I guess that makes him my great uncle? It was my grandfather that was Choctaw. My grandmother was Cherokee. Still, both were from Oklahoma. Also, both were from my mother's side of the family. My father's side was English and German. They were based in Kansas. Both maternal and fraternal sides migrated to California. Kinda of a "Grapes of Wrath" thing. I lived in CA all my life until 1999, and then I moved to AZ. I would tell people in CA that my Indian name was "dances with fools".
