The subject of this [article](http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Charge-Men-raped-woman-with-vodka-bottle-at-4480564.php)(rape) obviously isn’t funny, but one of the rapists’ name is Nathan Everybodytalksabout. And it’s not pertinent to the story, so they have no reason to mention how WTF it is, even though obviously everyone reading it is going to be thinking that. You wouldn’t even have to know this guy is a rapist to know he’s an asshole. ---

The Everybodytalksabout clan must be an illustrious family in the area. Here is a story, [Suspect in 1996 slaying wins right to fourth trial](http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2003872927_fourthtrial07m.html), from September 2007, also in the Seattle area, about Darrell Everybodytalksabout, suspected murdered, who had just won a fourth trial in his case. (There are so many links to stories about that case, I’m not going to take the time to open every one to see if any of them is a newer update on how that came out.) Here’s a comment I spotted in [one of those links](http://www.jammiewf.com/2013/suspect-named-nathan-everybodytalksabout-arrested-for-raping-woman-with-vodka-bottle/): > [@Jammie](#): > > Suspect Named Nathan Everybodytalksabout Arrested for Raping Woman With Vodka Bottle > Posted by Jammie on May 02, 2013 at 1:22 pm > > Had to do a triple-take when I saw [this name](http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/Charge-Men-raped-woman-with-vodka-bottle-at-4480564.php). Apparently he’s got a large family since we found several online mugshots of guys named Everybodytalksabout. Everybody must talk about them, we guess. And they’ll be talking about Nathan quite a bit after this horrifying attack. (The link in that quote appears to be the same as **Blackberry** ’s link.) A Google search for Everybodytalksabout shows quite a few names: George, Dale, Melina, Donna, Greg, and Joshua Lightz Out. ---

> [@Senegoid](#): > > The Everybodytalksabout clan must be an illustrious family in the area. I knew a couple of them when I lived in Seattle. It was so many years ago, I can’t remember if I knew them from when we lived in a housing project, or if it was when I worked for lawyers. I don’t remember anything about them except the last name. When I saw the thread title, I thought “How odd – I wonder if the thread is about the family.” ---

I was going to guess that it’s one of the typical descriptive-phrase names commonly used by people of various Native American tribes, when I came upon [this Blackfeet genealogy page](http://www.blackfeetgenealogy.com/pafg153.htm) that seems to confirm it. This page shows one genealogy line of Blackfeet people, with names like (e.g.): [ul] [li] BIG CROW[/li][li] DRY FORK[/li][li] WHITE BEAD WOMAN[/li][li] MARY EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT (and several others of the Everybody Talks About family)[/li][li] KILLS IN WATER[/li][li] GIVING TO THE SUN[/li][li] FINE SQUIRREL[/li][li] COMING HOLLERING[/li][li] FRANK CALF ROBE[/li][/ul] and others. I love those kinds of names. We should ALL have names like that. What would you choose for YOUR name? ---

Surname [“Roth,”](http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roth_(surname)) “derivative from hroth (from the Proto-Germanic word for “fame”; related to hrod).” From Germanic to Spanish via the Visigoths, “Ruiz.” The name “Robert” means “bright renown” ---

> [@Senegoid](#): > > [List of surnames](http://www.blackfeetgenealogy.com/index2.htm) from the Blackfeet Genealogy site. OK… according to that site there was someone called ANTOINE 459641G276 OLD ANTOINE. He married a woman named Sophia, who thus became Sophia 459641G276 (not sure why she didn’t get the OLD ANTOINE part). I wonder if the 459641G276 clan have also had trouble with the law. 😛 ---

I recall an anecdote about an instructor in a college course who was calling the roll on the first day of class, and encountered the name “John Bluesky.” He pronounced it “Blew-ski,” on the assumption it was Polish or something of the kind. No one responded. After the class, a Native American student came up to ask why his name hadn’t been called, since he was enrolled. It turned out his name was actually John Blue Sky.
