I was thinking of the recent female hounds (femmehounds?) we've had in GT with 2-syllable names beginning with "f" -- Fancy, FancyTwo, Fuzzy, Flizzy, Flashy, Fizzy (sorry for all I've probably left out) -- and went down the rabbit hole of one of my favorite brain games -- naming greyhound litters by theme.  Wanna do it as a chain game?  State the parameters for a litter of at least 6 puppies and the next person has to come up with names for that litter and then leave the instructions for the next litter.  You can also chime in just with additions to previous litters, but if that's all your answer is, you can't set new parameters.  Clear as mud?  

Example:  One-syllable names that are synonyms of "fast".  

Answer:  Swift, Bolt, Dash, Flash, Zip, Zoom, Dart

New Litter:  Weather names, any number of syllables and can be one- or two-word names

...naming greyhound litters by theme...  How about greyhound "litters" by Roommates!

Pagliaccio, Segugio, Sorella, Zeke-aroni, (LadyBug; sorry, she was a littermate!). We then switched it up and went the Irish route :beatheart

Clearly I didn’t understand the rules :rofl

Northern Greyhound Adoptions in northern Vermont had themes for the hauls that came up from Florida.

We adopted 3 hounds from them...

Nixon  - Dead Presidents

Ruby - Gems

Tequila - Liquors.    We called him 'Nigel' as that was, in fact, his registered name.  Chris's 'Whiskey' came from the same haul.

Jasper has been on my shortlist. Maybe my next cat. 

I'll resist the urge to come up with detectives so that someone else can play! :lol

Here's a real litter I came across recently (I won't say how :ph34r): 

CET Deuce, CET Dookie, CET Dung, CET Runs, CET Squirts

I guess it's appropriate for our often fecally challenged breed! :lol And Doo would have fit right in!

On Olympic themes, I was thinking we have one of our very own -- the Miss Paris Olympics!   With none of this 10,000 meters or speedwalking junk.
