That would explain it. :)

Never encountered that one before, I don't think.

"Finn" for the first. :)

"Air't" for the second (that's a close approximation).

The names translate to "Light" and "Shadow".  One is a white flame point, 
the other a grey lilac point, and I didn't want to use the boring 
"everyone's done this already" English names. :)

The other one is named Mushi - he's a short-haired tuxedo, but he got 
that name because, as our son Ken said, "he's got mushy brains".  His 
official name is "Indiana", after Indiana Jones (we found him at about 2 
weeks - if not less - abandoned by his mother in our back yard, and he 
yelled until Ken found him, and then climbed into Ken's hands).

So a bit of an adventurer.  But the name never stuck, other than on 
official paperwork.

Lots of places have a North, I hear. :)

LOL, true enough.  I think Sagrada Familia figured heavily into the book 
I ended up finding for him.

I wonder where the book ended up when he died a couple years ago.
