That's great. I have seen it before of course but it's always worth seeing again.

As you know, Chinggis Khan is his actual royal name. Temuujin his birth name. Very few boys get named Chinggis and there's probably a reason for it. Gengis is the westernization which is odd because we can say "Ch" without problem.

Mongolians get annoyed when people say Genghis but I tell them they call Shakespeare's Hamlet, "Gamlet" and Harry Potter, "Gary Pooter" so there are mistakes on both sides. They blame the Russians for the "H" to "G" switch. I can accept that. However, I've know idea how "Ch" became "G" for Chinggis.

I digress. I'll ask if she wants to call our ginger, "Chinggis".
