Question

i live in washington and that is my name. me and 1 other person are the only ones in the world with that name.

is STONEY POWDERMAKER a weird name?

Answer 1

Not really weird. Surnames are often derived from the skills or trades of the ancestors as in "smith", "fletcher", or "potter". Perhaps someone in your family was particularly good at making gun powder. Come to think of it, he must have been, otherwise you wouldn't be here! Putting the first name of Stoney with Powdermaker probably reflects on your parents' sense of humour. Or is Stoney a nickname? Over here, nicknames are often associated with particular trades such as "dusty" Miller or "dinger" Bell.

Answer 2

I absolutely love it. No, it isn't weird.

Answer 3

Cool name...especially if you live in Bedrock.
