I prefer classic names, like “Skippy” or “Turd”. Easy to remember and very descriptive.

My boys are Karl and Tan. Karl because of his great-Grandfather who came from Germany in 1895. Tan is a Thai name (it was my wife’s turn) and literally means “instead of”. Instead of what, I don’t know but at least we don’t have to shorten it and it suits him.

For Carlton? Siamese twins?

And also for the similarity in color and consistency.
