The girl who gave me Bilbo had named him Gizmo, but I wanted something different.

First, I wanted to name him Bingo (like the song), but that didn't fit. Then I remembered the old country song, "Bimbo" that my grandmother used to sing to us and thought I'd name him that. But a friend pointed out two things: 1) The word bimbo has negative connotations 2) Bimbos are usually girls.

So I thought for a couple of days and my husband said, "Why not name him Bilbo, since he has furry feet?" So we did!
