Best name ever

I was reading article on instances of women participating in warfare in the upper Missouri area, and discussions of fourth gender and differing performances of female gender in those societies, and I came upon this quote.

"A Crow oral history depicts a situation where a mother dispatched her son's enemy by smashing the assailant's head with her hatchet; subsequently, her son's name became He-kills-with-his-mother."

That has to be one of the top ten most awesome and hilarious names in history.

I keep picturing it anime style with He-kills-with-his-mother getting surrounded in battle all the time, but then they ask him his name, and he tells them and suddenly his mother is just... there. Ass kicking ensues:D
