If you were a member of a Native American tribe that used names like 'Dances With Wolves,' what would your name be?

This question really exercised me.

Initial reaction: 'Wow! There's scope for fun here!' Phrases such as 'Muddies the waters' and 'Loses the plot' sprang to mind.

Then I thought about the way the name 'Dances with wolves' works: in most English-speaking cultures, it seems, names are nouns (for example concrete obects such as flowers (Iris); abstract ideas (Mercy); jobs (Carter)), but, here, the name is a verb. I began thinking about possible verb phrases: 'Stings like a bee' being one example (though no use for me); 'Sings like a lark' (ditto); 'Sleeps like a log' (better). However, I junked this train of thought - the meanings rely too heavily on the noun used.

I wondered briefly if the phrase 'Dances with wolves' works in the same way as 'spends with abandon' and 'laughs with gusto'? And decided against, because then it would mean something like dances wolfishly.

So, I needed a verb that applies to me, and which singles me out in some way from others, by using something which indicates not a *how, but a *where, or *when, or *with whom.

And then I did what I like to do when puzzled ...
