My first ferret was named Beauregard. It nothing to do with the fact that my older sister said, "His name is Beauregard and I won't ever call him anything BUT Beauregard," when we brought him and his sister (my sister's ferret), Anabelle, home from the breeder. No, dammit. _I_ named him. Okay, well, I knew I was stuck with the name, but it was fine because there was a Muppet character named Beauregard. He's the taxi driver and I'm not sure WHAT he is but I wouldn't be surprised if they called him a ferret. The muppets DO have weasels though. You can see them in the first muppet movie (I think) and they've run around in the old Muppet Shows a few times. I have heard them called weasels, not ferrets though. Close enough for me.
