"might".

  Reminds me of my suggestion to my (toljbo) wife that for our next dog,
we should get a brown dog, and name him Burger, to which she replied,
"You can as long as you never tell anyone the reason why you named it

  Of course, and I didn't mean to suggest otherwise.  Just pointing out
that people (especially kids on the playground ;-)  can get ideas about
names which aren't necessarily complimentary.  Kaglek is fine if you
