What's in a Name

It's Twozday!

Living With Loulou has asked for the origin of Da Boyz's names.
The answer is rather simple:

They were named Batman and Bruce Wayne when we adopted them.

Those names didn't match up with our knowledge of their purrsonalities, but we didn't know if they were names added by the rescue, or the names given them by their former owners.

We morphed Batman into Manny.

Bruce Wayne became Chili Bruce Lee:

Chili: after Chili Palmer character in the film "Get Shorty".

Bruce: from Bruce Wayne, Batman's alter ego.

Lee: after martial artist Bruce Lee.

The Hubby claims to have completely dropped both Bruce and Lee, while I'm more often calling him CB, Chills, or Brown Bear.

Manny is shortened to Mans, or lengthened to Manfred.

No matter their names, they are WONDERFUL!

    The names that you finally gave those two boys when you shorten them a little and change them a little seem to be perfect. And they look like two perfect kitties.

    How sweet! A neighbor here named his dog Bruce Wayne. :) Unfortunately, Bruce passed away a few years ago but lived a shockingly long life for such a big pup.

    I figure new humans get to give new names. In a new environment, the cats soon adapt.
