Makes me think of Johnny Cash and the Ballad of Ira Hayes about an Indian that fought a war, then came back broken, turned to whiskey and died in a ditch.

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

Believe it or not, I love that song - not everyone is likely to have the same association and I'm starting to think more and more that you should call your child what you genuinely love.

Good luck
