    Default animal names in screen names

    I thought it was interesting how many of us have the name of an animal as part of our screen names.

    This is all that I've looked up so far:

    hawk - 34
    bear - 197
    mouse - 36
    cat - 727 - this includes all the variations and abbreviations for Catherine
    deer - 24
    moose - 34
    dog - 164
    horse - 43
    chick - 92
    walrus - 1
    wolf - 52
    fox - 67
    elephant - 1
    hippo - 4 (includes a whippoorwill)
    lion - 24
    tiger - 10
    skunk - 0
    weasel - 0
    coyote - 8
    monkey - 15
    hyena - 1
    frog - 65
    toad - 11
    snake - 2 (only one is intentional)
    goat - 18
    sheep - 8
    donkey - 1
    mule - 6 (I don't think any of them is intentionally the animal)

    I am sure that this is all totally breathtakingly interesting to all of you.

    My screen name use to be Jingleberry. That was the name of one of my toy poodles. After I had to have her put down. I asked the moderator if I could change it to Jingle. Seeing her name was upsetting for me. Actually no one would think of it as an animal name but it was.

    I like words also! I'd get banned if I proved it.

    My screen name is actually the name of my dog I had to put down November 25, 2010. Her name was Ellie, and I always called her Ellie girl. We would go some place in the car, and she went everywhere with me, weather permitting. I would say "Come on Ellie girl," and she would follow me anywhere.

    My screen name described my cat - Bear is Gray.
    He died in May.
    I wonder how many of us have incorporated one of our pet's names in our screen name?
