We have South African Names Now


Bluto, the brave villian

Because Doris took the profelactic story today, I got the privilige to tell you all about our new names.

Today the kind people here at BTM gave Doris and Me South African Names.

Doris was given the name Sibongile (pronounced Si-bon-gee-le) which means Gratitude or sence of thanks. This is a traditional name given to daughters whose parents wished for them, like boy of our dreams. Dorris even got a middle name: Handeka (pronounced Han-day-Ka). Which means lovely.

I was given the name Manqoba, which I can barely say (pronounced man-*click*-o-ba). I am told it is a very masculine name. It means Brave villain... I thought this was odd at first but than I remembered my roommates at home joke and call me Bluto sometimes.

I always thought of myself as a gentle soul but I guess others don't see it that way :(
oh well.

Doris, you can get the Female condoms down stairs at FEW (Forum for the Empowerment of Women). They have a whole bowl! (reference)
