Mwana Wikio....my vote....a name worthy of the aesthetic! Rolls off the
tongue (roof of my mouth?)

It fell in 4 different villages, Graystone, Muguga, Kihum Wiri and Mwana
Wikio. I wanted Mwana Wikio, but it does not exist in a database of names,
nor does any of them, but they exist, they are real villages and it should
be named for where it fell. Kihum Wiri is where the first stone fell and the
largest pieces were found, it is mentioned in the newspaper and news
reports. It has the best chance of approval by the nomcom. I hate to call it
Thika, nearest large town with is more than 10 miles away.
