New ferrets

[blue-roan.livejournal.com]

I work at a research lab with a colony of female ferrets. Each time we get a new batch of them, they get named according to a theme. We are going to be getting six more this next week and their theme is rivers. They will be Nile, Zambezi, Ganges, Indus, Tigris and Euphrates. I think this is a disappointing theme - or at least not utilized to its fullest. I would've liked to see Mississippi, Blue Danube, Thames, etc. Oh well.

For fun, here are the other names, both past and present. Themes of the past have included gems, celestial, flowers, spices and vegetables. (Yes, I think the vegetable names are stupid too.)

Opal, Coral, Athena, Andromeda, Persephone, Cassandra, Clio, Telesto, Sirius, Star, Zim, Saturn, Venus, Pluto, Jupiter, Bom, Electra, Lime, Sassafrass, Terra, Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, Dahlia, Bramble, Magnolia, Jasmine, Violet, Lily, Maverick, Juniper, Carrot, Onion, Cabbage, Iris, Orchid, Daisy, Cayenne, Daffodil, Callisto.
