Especially for twins.

I guess that naming your daughter “Antenna” would fit right in.

Aerial – that must be some sort of dystopian future novel – maybe post-apocalyptic communists: apparently in Stalin’s Russia there was fashion for new, more Soviet names (since almost all names are by origin Christian in Russia too) with boys called Traktor and girls Elektrotelegrafiya, for example.

There are so many Cheyennes hereabouts — and every variation thereof — that I almost don’t notice them.

For reasons not worth repeating, I once threatened to change my name to:

Dgeaughkn R-V

You know what – that looks pretty catchy. I wonder if I still have that paperwork.

Many years ago I was working on a directory for the elementary school my daughters attended.

Came across the name Cheyenne. Terrible name for a little girl. A name for a girl destined to entertain on center stage and in champagne rooms.

But hardly worth mentioning, right. Well – her folks didn’t spell her name in the conventional manner. No – they had to show off another bit of creativity (as if her daughter weren’t already damned). They spelled it

ShyAnn

Which is why I’m changing my name to Nyth’n Shwmyte.

*Bad* fantasy and sci-fi stories.
