Greta never names her stuffed animals, unless they are already named by the manufacturer. So we have a rabbit named Grace and a unicorn named Mystic. The rest occasionally get diminutive titles, but never a name. I haven't counted, but she must have at least a couple dozen and they are called simply "Black Kitty, Pink Flamingo, Lambie, Hedgehog." You get the deal.Well.
For her birthday she gave cousin Esme a plush unicorn. The tag on this particular horned equine identified her as Fable.
Well.
Esme sent back a thank you and told Greta she loved the unicorn and had named her "Unirose." Greta was taken aback. Didn't Esme read the tag, Mommy?
Fast forward a few days. Greta spends some of her piggy bank money on a stuffed Goldfinch at the zoo. Plays with it all day and drags it upstairs at bedtime. As Mommy's tucking her in, she asks the bird's name."Goldrose."

Esme and Max also favor the nomenclature of calling their animals after themselves, (i.e. Grey Pony, Red Panda, Stinger, Snakey). In the case of the birthday unicorn - generally called Uni for short - Esme has combined this with her favorite princess name, Briar Rose.
