      I love calling various Lizzies “Lizard.” And Sally is short for ‘Salamander.’ Bill is short for ‘Billiards,’ ¹ Leo is short for Leopard and maybe Lee is short for Leezard as well. Penny is short for Penguin.

      That said, we do have a lot of funny animal first names.

      • Arthur, Bjarni, Ursula and Orson all mean ‘bear.’
      • Robin and Robyn
      • Rudolph is a type of wolf
      • Rana means “beautiful” until you go to a spanish speaking country, where it means ‘frog’

      Billiards is not an animal admittedly. Sometimes it can be short for Shoebill
