I knew my wife's family since I was in grade 3, one of her brothers and I went to school together.
When we started going out one of her natural brothers and one of her foster brothers were my best friends (I was 18 at the time)
Her dad was a big old ex-cowboy who when he found out we were going out said.
"All these years I've been baring the front door against those wolves and you sneak in the back door with the yard dogs like a dirty coyote" of course he pronounced it Ki-yote.
For many of my close friends it is the name they know my by.
On some forums I am known as coyote but most of the forums I joined in the last two years it is coyotebc, because many of them already had a coyote on there so I added BC because I live in British Columbia (BC)

By the way just turned 42 last month and the wife and I have been married for over 19 years
