    are those names at all? Bringfried? Trutzbert?
    Yes, they are, although I've never heard of anyone being named Agomar or Trutzbert. I took them from a Familienstammbuch, a book families collect their marriage and birth certificates in. At the back it says, "German names for German children" along with a list of Common German Names - but even in 1952 nobody had ever heard of some of these. My guess is that the book is a leftover from other times ...

    wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.

    Call him B (pronounced "BEE") for short.

    It's robot naming time again. Just a week after you guys helped me name my little blue robot "Bobbie Blue Garcia", I gave him to a friend who was diagnosed with cancer.

    It took me some years to find another supplier so I can build up a robot army for world domination (death by cuddling). The new robot is plum coloured with pink stripes (he might look brownish in the photo). So far, his name is Robbie, like his bright red brother (the never-produced prototype) in my avvy.
    Sooooo, can we come up with a name that matches "Bobbie Blue Garcia" in style?

    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
