Crowfriend's post bought another Native American 'name story' to mind.
Is it true in Native American culture that the name of a deceased person is not suppose to be mentioned in conversation?
If true, is that only Navajo tradition or common in other Native People's as well?
Also, if a Native person's name was/is based on an event (such as Geronimo), is every Native's name constantly changing as newer more noteworthy 'events' occur?
If so, it seems it could get confusing say when trying to identify a person not present, whose name may have evolved and where that single individual may be known by different names to different speakers.
Maybe Injunbro or Crowfriend (or whatever their names are today. ) can shed some light on this?
Two of my personal favorites were Darkmoon Cliffdweller (Navajo) and Golden (Apache), an appropriate name for this LDM site.
Injunbro
I would like to have an Apache nickname . Can you give me one ? Would be my honor .

Marius,
Perhaps you could be chishgahi, and Injunbro could be Batman?
Take care,

What means " chishgahi " ?
Certainly, this will be fun (I hope you're thick-skinned). What do you look like & what's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done? What's the most embarrassing thing you've done lately?
