Y - 56 "Fuschia"

CAP: This is Fuschia.

I got the name from Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast. I have only seen the movie...so that is my point of reference.

Lady Fuschia: [dancing along] I am Fuchsia! I am me! Don't be frightened, wait and see!

Y - 55 "Bergamot"

CAP: This girl is named Bergamot.

Bergamot (berg-a-mah) is a lovely, fragrant perennial that blooms from midsummer to early fall. It looks great in a wildflower meadow and is frequently used in conservation projects and roadside planting.

Bergamot is used in potpourris and teas and it attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.

Y - 54 "Freddy"

CAP: This is Freddy. Freddy Panda. A nice enough guy.

In real life, a guy named Freddy owes me a big one.

Y - 53 "Desdemona"

CAP: This cute little girly monster is Desdemona.

She is named for the song by Marc Bolan & John's Children.
I love Marc Bolan and although I am not crazy about John's Children, I do love the "d-d-d-Desdemona-aaaah" part of the song.

Y - 52 "Crayon"

CAP: This is Crayon. He loves to color on the walls.

note: be careful what you name your young robots

Y - 51 "Hansel"

CAP: Hansel is a silvery little bear outside of the witch's stripey peppermint cottage deep in the Deep Wood.

Y - 50 "Meg"

CAP: This is Meg. Meg means "pearl".

Which calls to mind "Pearly Queen" by Traffic.

The two are not especially related, but I like Traffic and I like this song.

Y - 49 "Meadow"

CAP: Meadow is usually frolicking outside in the meadow, but has come in to pose by this cool checkerboard.

Y - 48 "Florence"

CAP: Florence (for me) comes from the tv show "The Magic Roundabout"...a show I really like. Florence doesn't have a very big part in this episode, but you can still see her.

Y - 47 "Snow"

CAP: This little lamb's name is Snow. Easy enough to see why. I still haven't determined (for myself) if this is a boy or a girl.

Y - 46 "Roland"

CAP: I like this Wolfy, Jr. I like his colors.

I also just like the name Roland. No particular reason why.

Y - 45 "Jasper"

CAP: This is Jasper, like the gemstone. Look at all of those luscious colors in there.

Y - 44 "Heidi"

CAP: Yep...I'm a "Project Runway" fan. I didn't even know who Heidi Klum was before I saw that show, but now I really like her. She cracks me up.

Y - 43 "Derek"

CAP: Oh, there are so many reasons for liking the name Derek...too many to list. I was wrestling with the names Derek and Dirk and went with Derek.

Y - 42 "Addy"

CAP: No particular reason for naming this panda Addy, other than I just like the name and this panda looked like a girl to me.

Y - 41 "Angus"

CAP: Say hello to Angus. I think Angus is just adorable! And the idea of a young plaid monster with a Scottish accent really appeals to me.

Y - 40 "Polly"

CAP: One of my favorite skaters for Detroit Derby Girls is very fond of giraffes. She was the inspiration for this character, so I am naming this giraffe Polly...for Polly Fester. Polly skates for the D-Funk Allstars and the DDG Travel Team.

Y - 39 "Ribbon"

CAP: This sweety puts me in mind of expensive silk ribbon.

I think he'd be cute with an elegant poofy bow tie.

Y - 38 "Jane"

CAP: For me, the name Jane conjures up two songs from Nick Drake.

Hazey Jane I and Hazey Jane II.

Y - 37 "Emily"

CAP: I'm naming this adorable monster girl after local artist Emily Slade. click on Emi's photo to go to her website

Emily is bubbly and vibrant and just a delight. Her artwork is awesome. And, I think the colors and the overall look fit.




p.s. I LOVE that wood pattern background!
