What's in a name?

The Beano Editor thanks you all for the naming suggestions you sent us for his rescue cat. There were a lot of great names like Gizmo, Smudge, Rover and Neep. The Ed felt the cat's personality didn't suit any of those and went for a name suggested by one of the staff. Before she was rescued, the cat was living outside in a hedge over Christmas and the staffer suggested calling her Holly! The cat, and the rest of the Ed's family, liked that name, so Holly she has now become!
Apparently, the member of staff responsible was offered an extra biscuit with his cuppa...

Have your say!

Ok! I think holly was a better name anyway!

I did get a biscuit from the Editor – it was fish-shaped and tasted of pilchards! I think it was from a box he’d bought for Holly. I’d really much rather have had a custard cream but, on the plus side, my eyes are brighter and my coat is shining…

What! You stupid people! It’d have possibly been ok if he’d have given you a biscuit as bribary. But you twonks din’t realize something ‘fishy’ when giving HIM a biscuit! Anyway, holly. Wanna join my club?

Holly… cool name! It’s a clever name, seeing that it was living outside a bush before being rescued. Like a holly bush!

@Beano guys
The name Rover never suited that greetings cat in Animal Crossing, so you’re OK there!
