    They must feel pretty safe they won't be handing out many free entries, hehe.
    I am sitting here at work puzzling what first name could also be an animal, the best I can come up with is Kat (short for Katherine, so that may not count!)

    Even Bear Grylls is not really called Bear but Michael Edward Grylls.

    Unless they count names like Leo (the Lion) or Clarence (the Cross Eyed Lion in Daktari - showing my age here!)

    Surnames are easier for the 50% off - I wonder if they count surnames such as Barker or Woof?

    I am amazed they are actually putting some new wax works in there. I thought it was just the ones they had not got around to melting down that went in there from London as they are all really old models.

    Oooh yes, Fawn & Kitty, & maybe Fox, the most 'mainstream' amongst them. Maybe Fox is popular now because of Fox Mulder??

    Most of the names listed are unusual to say the least though.

    Robin is the most commonly used name listed, I suppose, but then they could say that is a bird not an animal - depends how strict they are going to be! There can't be many kids named Peregrine these days, and then again that is also a bird.

    Tee hee!

    Glanced down the animal name list! 'Eagle' who names their child Eagle? Haha!

    (Apologies to anyone who has that name or had named their child that! - just my opinion!)

    Does "Eagle-eye Cherry" count ? ( singer and brother of Nenah Cherry )
