In my struggle to keep myself from feeling scared and as if I'm about to be tossed into a meatgrinder, I have decided to return to my roots and give myself a second warrior name. I chose "Tepintzin" as my first warrior name when I went to Mexico in 2002, but "Lady Little One" just ain't gonna cut it for what I'm about to do with myself. I have thus chosen the surname Huehueocelotl (HWEH-hweh-O-seh-lotl) which means "Fire Jaguar".

Actually, that's sort of what it is. I started calling myself "Teppy" as a joke when I was about 24. It's not a childhood nickname. However, it caught on. When I went to choose a warrior name, I wanted something that reflected "Teppy" and found that "Tepin" was a common Nahuatl name meaning, "Little One". The -tzin ending is analagous to the Japanese -sama.
