Thanks for those, I usually just explore newspapers. More fun for me! The naming culture in the states is *so* very different from Canada, once you get past the top hundred or so names. Weird, in two countries which are more alike than different, for the most part.
The Brier Cup is the men's curling championship in Canada- that's my association with that spelling!
