What’s in a Name?
There must be close to a hundred of them. Big ones. Small ones. Furry ones. Shaggy ones. Smooth ones. Hard ones. Soft ones. Some have missing arms, others legs. Some are just a head. Others are beyond all recognition.
There are girls, boys, bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, dinosaurs, tigers, lions, pigs, penguins, and walruses. We’ve got stuffed animals in just about every room of the house. Pandemic proportions. And with very few exceptions, every stuffed dog, cat, bear and whatnot has a name. Mike, Ruby, Ariel, Emily, Cochon, Ella…. They all do.
My wife is perplexed as to how the kids can come up with so many creative, sometimes bizarre, names for these ridiculous stuffed toys and yet can not choose a better name for the cat.
Meet Little Gray Kitty.
And yes, that is how she is referred to every time they call her.
Also, for some strange reason they have started referring to Rusty, our dog, with the slightly more descriptive–Rusty Dog.
Maybe they could consult iPastor, the Namer of Things. Of course, he’s the reason our cat was named Fuzznut.
Awww. What a cute little kitty! It beats my cousins’ name for their dog, Dawg.
The names are easy to remember. I like that, because if the name was weird, I’d forget.
Cochon? Love it! Little Gray Kitty? Not so much! LOL.
Little grey kitty? Inspired man.
