The next best offering, from DD2, is Winston Churchill.

Boozy Rouge is good. So long as you are confident that you will ~never shorten to Boo, which is cutesy.

I think we'll always, always, stick at Boozy at the very least.

We got openly snurked at by vets' receptionist the other day because of our GP's name.

I just can't see myself shaking a bag of Go-Cat while chirping "Winston Churchill".

Boozy Rouge is fine. My sister's cats are called after rock bands

I like.

We have a Squiff and a Humphrey, so the snurkage is a suffering in common.

All our cats have been named after something alcoholic.

After exhausting Guiness, Gillespie, Bailey, Cosmo and Pimm, we're venturing into the lesser known cocktails.

My brother's guinea pig was called GP

Anything goes for pets but as long as the madness doesn't extend to children's names you're fine!

(Squiff and Humph are guinea pigs, btw)

I suppose, at a push, Winston Churchill would have passed as something alcoholic, but I'm glad there's at least a passing approval for Boozy Rouge, it works for me.

Want to see her?

Winston Churchill was something alcoholic too though, I suppose.

Not that I think it's a crazy name, I like it, it's 'unusual'

Neither boozy, nor red, but we think she'll carry the moniker with panache
