Was just over at Kami's and JDid's blogs. Seems as if they both have the name thing on their minds this morning (still laughing @ Scoobay, JDid). Since I am a Pirate of the Caribbean and I really don't have much to post this morning anyway, I decided that I'd just jump on the 'names topic' bandwagon and make my contribution.
Picture it: two girls walking in a park, Akira from Japan, and Isabel from Spain. The girls see an ugly little dog, you know the ugly little pug dog, right?
Anyhow, the girls see this little ugly dog and begin to make fun of it, laughing at it, and having a blast commenting on how damn unfortunate the poor little animal is. Eventually, the owner comes up to the dog and says, "Isabel, Isabel, come here Isabel, that's a good girl..." Shock. Silence. Suddenly, the Japanese looks at the Spaniard and says, "Hey Isabel, did she just call that dog Isabel?" To which the Spaniard replies, "Yes..."
Now, y'all may think I'm trying to give you a joke this morning, but I'm not. It really happened to my friend Isabel (name changed to protect the innocent). So the moral of the story you ask? Don't make fun of ugly little dogs, they just might share your name!
Hey, you know that they're really going ahead and making a new Superman movie? It's set for release Summer 2006. Basically, Superman returns to earth after many years absence, only to find that Lois Lane has moved on with her life, the world has learned to live without him, and I seriously doubt that Clark Kent still has a job at the Daily Planet.
It's gonna be hard for me to see anyone but Christopher Reeve in the red and blues still, so I hope Warner Brothers and Dark Horse Comics do a damn good job in making a good storyline with believable characters, sort of like they did with Batman Begins

Holl,ywood must be getting bored, cause they doing all these remakes. Not much original out there.
Actually, every where i have lived i have met a dog named "Ciya"....again the names changed to protect the innocent.
Ciya
As for the dogs - yes, people do name their dogs all kinds of names, even names used for other humans.
