    But when we let our kids name pets - should we warn them that they will use that name for the rest of their lives as passwords to access computers and stuff?

        I wanted to name our dog 3D when me and my wife got him a few years ago but was shot down. I also wanted our children to be named Cortana if we got a girl. My father in law though we should spring for an old norse name and I thought combining the names Odd and Roar (pronounced ro (as in row) - ar (are)). Nether was accepted. And she wanted our next dog to be a female and Papillion named Diva. I've actually never used my pets names as a password but the name of their species has been in there a few times but I do thing you got a valid point! :)

        I can see why your wife doesn't agree to 3D, but did she have to shoot him for it? :sigh:

          No, if the name is insufficent just buy them a new so they can try again, my first guinea pig was named "General Kassad the Shadow" (Prince Kassad from C&C[^]) SFW i guess

          Rules for the FOSW ![^]

          if(this.signature != "")
          {
          MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
          }
          else
          {
          MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

            "Mademoiselle" in fact - chosen by my sister. Within the year that became "Madam" when she gave birth, and ended up as "Fang" after she attacked a German Shepard... Lived to the ripe old age of 18, before succumbing to massive cancers (probably caused by the Chernobyl fallout in Suffolk where she was living with my mother). I don't use this for security questions as I can't spell it... :laugh:

                          I once joked with friends about to get a dog they should name it "Dfer", so when people reply "Dfer" you could say "D for Dog", they still own the dog and its name is Dfer :laugh: /Darren

                            I know of a cat called Kick, named with similar logic.

                            I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

                              I let my Daughter name our Cat. She chose "Princess Pink Sparkles". Everytime I took her to the Vets the assistant would call out "Princess Pink Sparkles" the whole waiting room would stand to attention waiting to see who would stand-up. When we moved, I was wiser, and told the vet the name was 'cat' (I remembered the embarrassment of Princess Pink Sparkles' but put on the spot, didn't have enough time to think of a plausible name. She got run-over and died and handed in to the vet two weeks later. I rung-up to find out and felt well guilty that it appeared that after 6 years we still hadn't bothered to name our cat and referred to her simply as cat.

                                I once named a cat Scooby Doo. Simply for the reason I could shout out my back door "Scooby, Scooby Doo, where are you? I thought it was hilarious, my missus at the time didn't.
