I’m talking about what we used to call ‘Red’ but have latterly referred to as ‘American’ Indians…<\/em><\/p>\n

If you were to choos your own American Indian name, what would it be?<\/p>\n

This isn’t quite as bizarre as it might appear at first. Well yes, OK, it might be bizarre. But I seem to have broken the internet (my own RSS feeds still don’t work, my webhoster isn’t talking to me because I keep hitting them with a verbal stick and shouting at them to SORT THE FUCKING PROBLEM OUT and Bloglines has gone down for the second time this evening and Twitter looks as though it’s gone tits up and it’s all probably my fault) and we’ve just watched Little Dorrit (bugger, I seem to be rather enjoying this piece of Dickensian soap opera! I really wish the BBC would get some dramatists who were shite instead of the bunch who have done this because they’re really rather good) and I’m going upstairs for a shower then bed then an\u00c2\u00a0 Angel and…<\/p>\n

And breathe…<\/p>\n

And we’ve been making up Red<\/strike> American Indian names.<\/p>\n

Soph has, in my head, a range of names to be applied as appropriate.<\/p>\n

She’s usually Little Bottom. And sometimes Big Smile. And sometimes Smelly Arse. And, this evening, Dead Badger (I’m not explaining that<\/em> one!) . And always Lovely Girl. And sometimes Bad Smell. And always (yes I know, two alwayses! Go figure!) Very Lovely.<\/p>\n

She hasn’t told me what I am but she does smirk when she thinks about it.<\/p>\n

Daughter would be Laughing Girl. Or Smiling Girl at worst. I still haven’t been able to sort out some kind of a Christmas itinerary for her. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

So what would yours be – if you had to pick one. Or use your imagination and tell us what your SO would be if you had your way.<\/p>\n
