I know an Ernestine, who is a deeply cool teenager, a pain in the arse Millicent, who goes by 'Plum', several Rufuses, and a toddler Balthazar in France -- and have an Uncle Jerome.

I like Ernestine, actually.

I love Balthazar knew a lovely black cat called that once. Also used to know a Tansy (human) and had a gerbil called Pansy.
My goldfish is called Rufus.
