Yes, he's named after Frank Sinatra's character from the movie "Pal Joey." I love Frank. I was watching it when I decided to get a dog.

Yes, initially we called her Cassiopeia (prononced cass-ee-OH-pee-uh), the vain queen in the greek mythology. However, somehow we ended up pronouncing it as 'cass-ee-opia'. Therefore, we've decided to change the spelling as well to 'Cassiopia' and did away with the vain queen's name.

Cassi's little brother will be arriving in another 2 weeks, so we need to come up with a name for him. We've considered the following: Perseus, Aristotle, Orion, etc.

Biggie is named after Biggie Smalls the deceased Rapper. My husband got to name Biggie. I typically listen to Pop and Country music so I was not familiar with the rapper at first, but now love it when I hear his songs because in most of them he mentions Biggie or Biggie Smalls and it makes me smile.

Maximus was called 'Capone' when we got him b/c his previous mom got him for Valentine's day and she named him after the Valentine's day massaker...

We wanted to get rid of that blood thirsty memory and stay with the 'M's. Since he is a teapot Maximus was the obvious name...

Sir Ach · 01-26-2009, 06:14 PM

I actually named Achilles after the Greek warrior--I figured for someone so little he needed a "big" name

. His middle name Cassadine is from a general hospital character named Nikolas Cassadine.

Telea · 01-28-2009, 02:19 PM

Yes, The Lion King. Mufasa and Scar are brothers. There is no need to fight over the kingdom, they are both "KINGS"! On Feb. 26 they are both going to be neutered

, so there will be no "simba".
