And another one

It's not even my birthday yet, and I'm still getting presents.

This time, another stuffie off my Amazon wishlist - the Taddle Toes griffin. Official name was Olympus but I'm going to change it:

I tend to feel that, following the protocol seen in MLP:FiM, griffins should have names beginning with G.

I am leaning towards "Gaspard," which is a boy's name, but is also a geographical name (it recalls the Gaspe peninsula in Quebec). But I also played around a little with the Griffin fantasy name generator (Indeed, the internet has everything).

One of the names it served up was "Featherbutt" and another was "HootHoot" and while both of those are tempting, I think I like Gaspard better.

And again, thank you!

When I see the name "Gaspard," I immediately think of the piano suite by Ravel. That Gaspard is not particularly cuddly. I myself might name a stuffed griffin "Gulland," after the bassoonist in the eccentric progressive rock band Gryphon.
