I named my cat Thisbe. I love it. Thankfully never used on a human child because I could only imagine the issues it would cause on a person. Thisbe gets frisbee a lot. Also Thisb (think like lisp) Gorgeous name and I'm so glad I gave it to her. Definitely a conversation topic!
"The splashes of blood from their suicides are the reason that the mulberry fruit is red." This is seriously cool. For all the people who claim to love this name I'm surprised I'm the first one to comment on it.
