David  Ritchie,
enjoying the current argy-bargy in

Actually,  'argentine' is a silvery little fish, too. I think it was pretty 
pretentious of  the Conquistadores to call the land "Argentina", the 
Silvery -- the silvery  _what_? I rather have ElDorado, but it was soon 
realised 
that there was no  silver either on the Silvery River ("River Plate"), but 
the name stuck, I  guess.

Cheers,

JL
