No such thing as a fierce fish?

By Jean Godden

What's in a name? Plenty. Naming a kid, a city or a sports team could make a major difference in outcomes. Currently we're wrestling over a name for the NHL team due to start playing here in the 2021-22 season.

Picking a name isn't that easy. Take Seattle itself. The original site was called Duwamps, the name of the native American settlement. Doc Maynard, an early arrival, thought the name awkward and lobbied to change it to Seattle after his business partner, the Squamish chief who was helping him sell smoked salmon.

At first, Chief Seattle declined, fearing he would have no peace if people spoke his name after his passing. However, he relented after the settlers offered to take up a collection and pay the chief for the privilege. Seattle thus has the distinction of being the only U. S. city that bears the name of a native American, one who, by tradition, may still be turning over in his grave.
