If you are looking for an appropriate name for a fuzzy and don't want to use
Loki as so many other people are doing, you might want to use a trickster
name from some other culture.  We have the African counterpart of Loki in
Eshu (or Elegba).  Anansi the trickster also comes from Africa.  From Japan
we have the shape-shifter Kitsune.  In ancient Greece the god Hermes was the
one who made mischief.  From our North American cultures we have Nanabush or
Glooskap from the woodland cultures, Coyote from the plains Indians, and the
Spider (Inktomi)from the Lakota.  And from the Pacific Islands we have what
I suspect are three different spellings, or pronunciations of the same
names: Io- lofath, Olifat, and Yalafath.
 
On another subject.  I once saw Murphy's Laws of Ferrets written somewhere,
for instance "If it's edible it will be stashed, if it is inedible it will
be eaten." Does anybody have a copy of these that they could post on the FML?
