Names

The pups of my most recent litter have been registered with the Swedish Kennel Club under their respective official names. The names are:

The male, Nemo: Aangenaam Eclipse Class Cruiser
The female, Polly: Aangenaam Full Moon Eclipse

This is the E litter from our breeding, and since both Mum and I have the name Eclips in our official names, we decided to have an E theme based on the word eclipse. Nemo is named for a Royal Navy class of war ships, which suits the marine inspired name that we call him. Polly is named for the last part of the Twilight trilogy, novels and films that especially Paula is fond of. These are good names.

You might wonder why we spell eclipse with an e at the end. This is because that is actually the correct spelling of the word in English, but when Mum got her official name Taichung Total Eclips of the HRT, the final e had to be cropped off because her name would have been too long otherwise. I inherited the spelling from Mum, but we felt it was time to spell the name in a more proper fashion now.
