When I was in school, one of my class mates' mom was from Africa...some obscure tribe out in the middle of the grass lands. Her tribe was a matriarchal one...women in charge. His real name was Seshpaniema Walker, but we called him Herschel (after Herschel Walker). As odd as his name was, his sister's name was even more so. The tribe his mother was from listed the ancestory of every girl born through their names, back something like 50 generations. Her first name was her name, her second name was her mother's name, third name was her mom's mom's name, so on and so forth. And every one of her names were so incredibly hard to listen to, let alone pronounce. Her birth certificate had something like 6 pages just to list all the names in her name. We all, including her brother, simply called her Sis.
