Now that Skuds has got a name for his kitten (not a bad name – I hope it doesn’t get too confused about which name it is going to totally ignore….) I thought I would try to get a name for our newest family member. No rush mind since it isn’t really real and is very unlikely to crap on the floor (unlike Moth the cat). I was in York on Friday for a meeting and got a spare half hour to wander round the Continental Market. As well as the usual wurst, paella and bulbs it had a stall selling reindeer skins and these cute little buggers.
I had to get one for Rob but we are now unsure what to call it. I thought of ‘Dog’, since the Horse campaign failed, Wolfie or Foxy (in a Citizen Smith kind of way) but none of them seem quite right. We are going to look up the Finnish/Lapp word for wolf but don’t expect to be able to pronounce it…
Oh yes, and this link is the reason why I had to buy it for Rob – we are sickeningly cute I’m afraid, there appears to be no cure….

Hmm… “Bad Wolf” ? Its something that sounds like Dalek in Norwegian if Dr Who is to be believed.

We are now fairly sure we are going for Beo (pronounced Bay-o). Following on from Rob’s Cat-mandu idea really.

Hmm. along the same lines you could have gone for Sabre for that retro-gaming vibe.
