Enjoy 2 min of My little man enjoying electrolyte water while we talk about his name 😂 (not on the video, here instead). On TikTok there is a girl who names her horses after Disney characters, and I thought that is a really cool idea. And she said send me a pic of your horse and let's see if I can think of a name. So I sent it and she came up with the name "Bug" from A Bugs Life. Although there isn't a character by this name, I actually find this really endearing for two reasons - it's a nickname that my mom gave to me, and it's also the name of a mini pony in heartland who was helping the little blind girl.
I get really good vibes off of this name, especially around him - and I tried to look up the definition just to make sure there wasn't anything silly about it - and aside from its actual definition (typically an insect) - the English origin states: "Bug" as a name is typically a nickname rather than a formal given name. It often derives from affectionate or playful terms, suggesting someone small, lively, or quirky, akin to a small insect. It’s also used as a term of endearment (e.g., "little bug").
What do you think? If you don't like this, do you have any suggestions?
