Yeah I know but since Annie P. refers to him as Basque in the short story, I figured they did the same in the movie. But as far as I'm concerned is not an actual name. I took it as a nickname or something. David Trimble is dressed as a Basque in the movie, so I thought the character was of basque heritage, and everyone called him Basque. Basque names, and especially surnames, are sometimes hard to pronounce. They don't speak Spanish, well they do, but it is not the original Basque Country language. It's euskera.

louisev:
Basque isnt a name, it's a nationality.  He is "the" Basque.  Though he might have been called "Basque", I decided to name him Pedro!

pastorfred:

There are a lot of Basque shepherds in the northern Rocky Mountains. My son in law was born and grew up near Boise, Idaho, where the largest concentration of Basques in North America live. Occasionally the name of the nationality is seen as a given name, but it usually has a Spanish spelling, as in the name, Vasco.

Another fanart for you.  Ellery and Ennis at the wedding.  What chapter in Shelter From The Storm was this in, can anybody tell me?
