The names Brigid and Orlando were selected by the consensus of all four of us. I forget who suggested Brigid--maybe my daughter. She is both a goddess and a saint. (Brigid, *not* my daughter.) I suggested Orlando from a list of Shakespearean names.
We planned to get two so they would have a playmate. We wanted to get two from the same litter but ended up with these guys. We let the kids pick them. Their names at the SPCA were Brazil and Morton.
