Isn't that neat? I was thinking of my first rat again today, Clementine. I loved the name I picked for her and I was only 11.

When I was 11 I knew all the best names. Now I've played them all as characters. :> Clementine is a great name just cause of the connotations from Eternal Sunshine, for me.

And I think they took it from the song "Oh My Darling Clementine", which is where I got it from...hehe.

There is something about naming as a child that seems casual and yet often ends up being more symbolic than we know.

It's also a kind of orange. :)
