I'll share a somewhat funny, but true story. I had a school friend whose dad was killed in the war, as a fighter pilot. His mother had a black Labrador, and after Douglas Baders' dog she called it "N*gger". His mum got killed in a car crash, with the dog. In later years he too got a black labrador, and also called it "N*gger". He then got moved to Moss Side in Manchester, for 2 years, on some work thing. He had to try and re educate the dog to respond to Nero...

 

You need to thinkl outside the box when naming children and animals :)

I tend to go for simple names with dogs, so I can't suggest anything that would even vaguely interest you!!!

 

For example, Spud.

 

Was it you who mentioned the name 'Deeogee' or somesuch? I like that idea but Zoe didn't go for it.

I wanted to call one of our cats 'Ceeaytee' but she didn't like that either. :D

 

Akira's good.

Did Bader have one too? I thought it was Guy Gibson (617 squadron leader, the dam busters) who had the black lab called N*gger? Incidntally, Gibson's lab got run over outside the airfield and was burried at midnight whilst Gibson was leading the raid on the dams. This was done at Gibson's request " as that way, if I get shot down we may well be entering the ground at the same time" or so the book says.

I beleive 'ni*gger' was one of the code words sent back to signify one of the dams being breached too.

 

History lesson over. As you were.:)
