A likely tale!
Still, Smith ain't a bad name, even though it's too truncated for my tastes.
Anyway, being a Huffy would fit the image - "I'll huff and I'll puff.." big bad

Nope, there's something distinctly gamey about these were-wolf names IMO.
I may be wrong, but I ain't uncertain. 
Us paranoids have to stand by our convictions.
