A Pratchett recollection
I don't remember the book, but Pratchett has a character, an Indian warrior who goes by the name "Bucket". Well, it turns out that his full name is "Man-pouring-bucket-of-cold-water-on-two-dogs". And he has an older twin brother. And his Mom gave the names to both twins based on what she saw as the twins were born.
At that point of the story, a naive listener asks, "So, his name is "Two-dogs-fighting"? And Bucket responds, "Oh, he'd give his arm to have the name "Two-dogs-fighting".
