Authentic Aboriginal Names

One of the most popular segments of our show is where we give out Authentic Indian Names to some of our lucky listeners.

Here's how it works:
There are three wheels. Each wheel has a set of names.

1
The first wheel has first names on it.
Names like, say, Albert or Peter or Rosie or Michelle.
(Jasper watches North of Sixty)
2
The second wheel has adjectives and participles. (Participles are those things that used to be verbs, but now they're not) On this wheel you will see names like Running... Standing... Sitting... Heavy... Red... Big...
3
And the third wheel... Nouns.
Eagle, Hawk, Bear, Runner, Kettle, Rider
...you get the idea.

Every so often we pick out a letter from a listener who has requested an authentic aboriginal name, and we Spin The Wheels!

There has been one small problem with this though... the demand for AINs has completely outstripped the possibility to supply them on our show. To try and stem the tide we added the following stipulation to the rules of entry:

All persons requesting an AIN must also tell us about "Their Most Interesting Encounter with an Indian".

This has helped somewhat, but we still can't possibly keep up with the requests. We will continue to give out names on our show to the most deserving listeners (judges decision is final!). For the rest... there is still hope. All you have to do to get your own A.I.N. is click on the banner below. (Note: The generator will open in a new browser window.

Here are some of the names that we have given out over the years...
if you would like your name added to this list send us an e-mail with
1) Your original boring name and... 2) the Authentic Indian Name which was bestowed upon you.

We will update the list within 10 to 18 weeks (hey...I got lots more important things to do you know ;-)
