Many people ask us about our dog’s names and how we decided to name them Sharko and Marina. Sharko was an easy choice, as it is the name of a dog that one of the owners had as a child. We had to think a lot about the name for our female Sharplaninatz and gave a number of options to our boys and asked them to decide. Our boys ended up telling us that they did not like any of our options and that they want the dog to be named Marina. When we asked why, it was because of a cartoon they loved at the time called “Zig and Sharko”. Zig & Sharko is a French animated slapstick comedy television series. It chronicles the conflict between Zig, a brown hyena, and Sharko, a great white shark, who live on a volcanic island. The conflict is fueled by Zig's constant attempts to eat the mermaid Marina, whom Sharko loves. The series employs silent comedy: characters either do not speak, or use unintelligible vocalizations, gestures, and occasional pictograms in speech balloons. So since Sharko loves Marina in this cartoon, it was an obvious choice for our boys that our Sharko’s girlfriend’s name had to be Marina! 😄
