Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Children Named for Characters in Books

[Ann Marie Gordon <agordon@LIVONIACSD.ORG>]

We named our dog Miranda.  The name had the benefit of referring both to
a Shakespeare character, and to a moon of Uranus.  This satisfied the
librarian and her astronomy teacher spouse!

As for the kids, I guess you could say they're named for people in a
famous book.    :)  The elder is "Mary," and the younger, "Rachel."

 (5 points if you said "the Bible," and 10 points if you can name which
books...)

We have a cat named Algernon from _Flowers for Algernon_  (He's very
mousy looking.)
