LOL Elwood makes a random suggestion before I have to change the account name to Panda! :P

Finley's quick opposition to the name Peregrine Jr drew surprise from Elwood, but as he met his mate's gaze and she explained herself, the memory washed over him. He hadn't known Osprey Jr personally, but her massacre at the teeth of her own father was horrible enough to strike that naming convention from the realm of possibility. He shuddered and shook his head in agreement.

She continued to muse aloud about what to call the other pups, and he listened quietly. It wasn't that he didn't care, but, well, he just wasn't all that creative when it came to names. After all, half of his family was named Elwood. They all seemed to settle on Oriole and Towhee for the black and auburn pups, and Fox -- no Jr -- for the busy one. That left Screech and Widget without proper monikers; he chuckled and winced at the idea of calling the little girl Cow.

"Panda is good," he agreed, though he frowned slightly and studied the puppy in question. She paused in her drinking long enough to smack her lips and glance back at her godparents, white eyebrows luminous against her dark face. Suddenly, he added, "What about Orca? I think it's some kind of black and white sea animal...I've never seen one in person, though." He didn't know where the information had come from; it had magically appeared in his brain, almost like a writer had dropped it there helpfully.
