[meteorite-list] What's in a name? Name your meteorite for fame?

[Walter Branch]

Hi Dave,

Shoot, I'd pay extra for those names!

I really like Australian names, particularly
anything ending in "Donga."

My favorite:  Donga Donga

Local names around here might include:
Rincon
Springfield
Pooler
Garden City
Thunderbolt (not bad, though)
Guyton
Register
Tybee
Denmark (has one stop light, no wait
it's a four way crossing)
Hopeulikeit (no kidding)
Statesboro (oops, already taken)

Not very imaginative!

-Walter
