Hi Heather We don't go for Halloween in a big way in New Zealand, although the suppliers of costumes and goodies are trying hard to change that <VBG> I can't resist the chance to suggest puppy names, however
Bewitched / Bewitching (pet name Tabitha, Endorra, Samantha etc) Jack o' Lantern (The) Warlord Halloween's Treat Samhain Feralia All Hallows Some excerpts from the following website http://www.geocities.com/area51/corridor/9316/origins.html to explain some of the names <<All Hallows Eve is observed the night of October 31, followed on November 1 by All Hallows Day, also called All Hallowmas, All Saints' Day and All Soul's Day. The ancient Celts called the festival Samhain (pronounced sow' an) and observed it to celebrate the onset of winter and the beginning of the Celtic New Year; "samhain" means "end of summer." In Ireland the festival was known as Samhein, or La Samon, the Feast of the Sun. In Scotland, the celebration was known as Hallowe'en. Samhain was a solar festival marked by sacred fire and fire rituals. During the height of the Druids, the priestly caste of the Celts, all fires except those of the Druids were extinguished on Samhain The Romans observed the holiday of Feralia, intended to give rest and peace to the departed.>> Lynn McIndoe New Zealand [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Robert Lamont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [CKCS-L] Hallowe'en names >Hi, > would anyone like to suggest names for pups born at Hallowe'en? >Their grandfathers litter of 7 were born on 31 Oct. also and I gave them All >saints names.Or Muscateer names as dad is called Porthos.
