Nahuatl Names

> My name for instance : Asencion CUITLAHUAC ( He who

translations seem to change, too

> Cuitlahuac, an Aztec king, is unique I guess, my
> brother's name was CUAHTEMOC, another Aztec king. My
> brother has passed away, however, he left a son with
> that name. My son's name is Cuitlahuac.

if anybody cares about this:
an appropriate way to name a *child* in nahuatl speaking world would
be to name it after the designation of the day it was born on (20
names available) plus a nickname maybe

I have run across so many Cuauhtemocs lately...
