Names

Ken and Ginger flaking out 

 Yesterday was the shittiest day for us and the pups .. shit for them because it wasn't the right weather to get out ... and therefore more shit for us! Well we can't complain can we, we/they have had the most wonderful weather and this morning though it's chilly it dry and bright so I've put them out for an hour or two.
I have pages and pages of lists of names here, but most are for females. As you know I hate the "same old" names .. I like something different, I could never have envisaged the popularity of the name Loki when I used it in 2014! Ross may not be an unusual name, but I know few others, and with his registered name being Poldark .. well it had to be done! Sammi again is not an unusual name, but I don't know any others ...

Fudge discovered Luther 

If we keep a female there are dozens of names to choose from, if we keep a male there are less that we both like .. we have to think carefully on sounds and letter so as not to confuse the others, and ourselves. (Let's face it Jamie, Junior and Jimmy for the cats was not my brightest move .. hence Jimmy became Jimmy Choo and now usually just Choo)  Anyway we found a few nice names to add to the list but Steve cam across Orin.  Unusual, doesn't sound like anything else here and the Greek meaning is "Of The Mountains," considering where we live it's a little apt .. hmm yes top of the male list ... for now!
Of course I've been googling other meanings ...
"From the Hebrew name for the pine tree or ash tree, often spelt Oren or Oran."
"The meaning of the name Orin In Gaelic is "light; pale; pine tree; fair, pale" (don't like that so much..lol)
 "The name Orin is a boy's name of Hebrew, Irish origin. Orin is one of a variety of similarly-spelled names that have a soft and sensitive image.People with this name tend to be idealistic, highly immaginative, intuitive, and spiritual. They seek after spiritual truth and often find it. They tend to be visionary and may inspire others. If they fail to develop their potential, they may become dreamers, or misuse power."
Now it get's even more interesting, LOL .. "Orin (an alias for Aquaman) is King of Atlantis, Poseidonis and the Seven Seas. He is a founding member of the Justice League, the former mentor of Aqualad and Lagoon Boy." Well now we all know!
