Meet Bertie!
Hopefully this isn't too far OT, but I had to share. I have a new puppy! He is a black miniature poodle. I have been on the waiting list for him for over a year and the only name I ever really considered was Bertram. Bertie for short. Of course since I'm American and live in America, I can't actually pronounce it quite right without affecting a British accent, so everyone will always call him, "Birdie." But I have decided I am OK with that. My other poodle's name is Amelie, so I'm already used to having to over explain dog names to everyone in the world. I wouldn't think Amelie would be that hard but it is quite difficult apparently.
But yes, I wanted this puppy to be an affable, happy go lucky sort of fellow, which seems to be working out so far. He's quite noisy too. Perhaps a bit feistier and more demanding than his namesake.
As soon as he gets scruffy enough I'll give him a haircut and clean up those whiskers. No mustache for young Bertram. Surely a sartorial misstep for poodles.
For a registered name I'm thinking either Gigi's Smart Little Chap (Gigi is the breeder), or Gigi's Sunny Disposish. Not that it matters a whole lot, since he's getting fixed asap and thus shall forever remain one of nature's bachelors. Probably for the best since he keeps running headfirst into the furniture.

(What a coincidence. My kitty's name is Amelie and no one gets it but my roommate and my friend from Switzerland.)

I can relate to the name issue. Both my cats have baffling names, and it always makes for an amusing time at the vet's office.
