OK, I'll jump into the game! Cognac: My cinnamon baby, I knew I was getting a cinnamon and expected her to be a lot redder (more like Irish setter red), and had thought of several names. When we actually picked her up, I realized that none of the names would fit, so I had to think of a new one. Brandy seemed to be too overused, and people would think she was named for the singer, so she became Cognac for her color. My husband calls her Cog-nak (two syllables!) Taranis: (otherwise known as the terrible Taranisoarus) is a big MF boy who's a sable blaze panda mitt wannabe - in other words, a mutt! He has kind of stormy coloring so I asked Maggie if she knew any good storm god names, so Taranis is a Celtic storm god. Sol and Luna: Champagne mitt cousins, you could hardly tell them apart when they were kits. So I wanted names that went together, and Sol & Luna seemed to fit. Karice: Albino jill, my husband invented the name and says it fits her. Toccata: Abused pet store ferret, we were told he was a girl and we were going to call him Cadenza. But when we discovered he was a boy Toccata seemed to fit him better. Preen: dark silver mitt jill, another one where my husband made up the name, only later he discovered the meaning (and it suits her). Fog: Was a very light silver mitt when we bought him, "fog" colored, so that's how he got his name. Cowboy: Came through our shelter, almost went to Texas to be a stud, (hence Cowboy), but stayed with us instead. And there's Winter the white curly haired dog who we purchased in the middle of winter.
