both girls and boys were welcomed into the band, but boys were favored. if the baby was a boy, one of the midwives informed the father or grandfather, "it's your close friend". families might paint a flap on the tipi to tell the rest of the tribe that they had been strengthened with another warrior. sometimes a man named his child, but mostly the father asked a medicine man (or another man of distinction) to do so. he did this in the hope of his child living a long and productive life. during the public naming ceremony, the medicine man lit his pipe and offered smoke to the heavens, earth, and each of the four directions. he prayed that the child would remain happy and healthy. he then lifted the child to symbolize its growing up and announced the child's name four times. he held the child a little higher each time he said the name. it was believed that the child's name foretold its future; even a weak or sick child could grow up to be a great warrior, hunter, and raider if given a name suggesting courage and strength. boys were often named after their grandfather, uncle, or other relative. girls were usually named after one of their father's relatives, but the name was selected by the mother. as children grew up they also acquired nicknames at different points in their lives, to express some aspect of their lives.
