Oh! So the deer’s names are reversed (from a Western perspective) the way they are in some Asian cultures?
(I can’t remember off the top of my head which – Chinese? Japanese? Vietnamese? all of the above, and/or maybe others? – and I’m working on a very slow backup internet access, so I don’t have the wherewithal to do the research right now. No offense is intended to any Asian fellow “stoners” out there!)
Indeed, I believe the names of people from East Asia are reversed from our perspective.
I’m sure it is for Vietnamese and Chinese people.
As for the Japanese, it is confusing since we tend to reverse the names of the famous ones (Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Kitano instead of Kurosawa Akira and Kitano Takeshi, for example).
What a name. I don’t really approve of the name. It’s too long >.<
Kyri is her name, and Thunderhead might be a surname. The rest are all titles.

Technically speaking…. Thunderhead is her name, and Kyri is her surname.

Don´t you also get unnerved when the soon-to-be food joins in the discussion?
