Now I understand why Melba Hamblen stopped with ROSABELLE V
instead of using ROSABELLE VAN VALKENBURG. But, I heard someone at a show
commenting on how lovely 'Rosabelle Five' looked! Then, there was the
siberian called VI LUIHN that someone called 'Six Luihn!' I just don't
think we can please no matter how hard we try. My chief complaint
regarding names is COLORIFIC and CALORIFIC. There is an opportunity for
confusion here even if one is an LA and the other bearded. I often wonder
why CALORIFIC was permitted.
