Wednesdays, I’ve decided, are going to alternate between “try something new” and “whatever I feel like posting that I don’t have any other opportunity to post”. Today, you get a list of animals and the names I would give them.
Female Dog: Emily Dickinson. “Em” for short.
Male Dog: Lord Byron. “Byron” for short. (Does this NOT sound like a great dog name??)
Male Goat: Remus. (I thought of this when I took my dog for a walk yesterday. I suppose it could be for Lupin in the Harry Potter books, but mostly I just want a goat named Remus)
Female Goat: Hermione. (Goats are surprisingly smart… and also kind of annoying)
Male Fish: Edward
Female Fish: Pippa (From A Great and Terrible Beauty)
Male Cat: Kartik (From A Great and Terrible Beauty)
Female Cat: Felicity (From A Great and Terrible Beauty)
Male Turtle: Cornelius or Albus (Need I explain this?)
Female Turtle: Sunny Dijon Larkson (Homage to my first ever novel protagonist from my first ever novel, Ash)
Male Hamster: Liam
Female Hamster: Bernadette (I once read a book where the main character really wanted a friend named Bernadette… then she got a hamster and named it that instead, since no one is named Bernadette anymore)
…I know. I know. I’m really really strange.
Hmm…I’ve always thought a good name for a fish is Roady…
You aren’t strange, this is what I do alll the time.
…that and write stories in Spanish…
Hay una chica…chica se llama Bri…Bri es muy muy muy bonita.
