My friend shared the results of the Facebooq app called:
What is your American Indian Name?
My friend put in his name and got:
Frets about red woman
My Response: So, let's see, a fret is that metal strip on a guitar's neck that changes the musical sound by a half note. And there are several of them, so frets plural would be correct. Red is the color of embarrassment. Oooh, I'm so close to figuring this one out, if I just understood 'woman'.
Of course he used a Facebook app, and so I tested other online apps for generating American Indian names from your current name and came up with the following:
Wahchinksapa Adahy
"Wise one who lives in the woods"
I am thinking, hmmm, completely different results, obviously a different tribe, different language.
I also found his Pilgrim Name: Hester Chilton
It s'pposedly means "A pilgrim is a wanderer with purpose"
He responded by saying his wife is a redhead.
My response about the visual display of the app result: I like how they made it look all authentic, printed out the message on what appears to be naugahyde with edges made by pinking shears.
Further thoughts regarding the Pilgrim name:
A) Isn't a Chilton manual what you get to work on your vehicle?
B) I wonder if the word "womanual" eXists?
I am also thinking that that "fret equals metal piece around neck" could indicate the kind of jewelry you are s'pposed to get her for a Christmas present. It was frets, so buy at least two, so go ahead and get three if you have been below average on the naughty/nice scale.
His wife responded: I like this man. Listen to him.
Your words are like a labyrinth, I turn a corner not knowing what I'll find next. I like it.

ReplyDeleteYes, like Alice, you never know where you'll end up. I get it and so does Olga.

I'd rather see something with Indian Indian names.
