Fenris, aka Fenrir
Fenris was my dog. (Like Indiana Jones here I guess?) He was a Siberian Husky, and they look like wolves. From my Dungeons and Dragon days I was familiar with the Norse mythology of Fenris (they did not use the name Fenrir?) a giant wolf who wanted to eat the world. The name was a perfect fit!

Awesome. :)

It's more like Fenris/Fenrir; grammar, being anglicized, etc.

While surfing the 'net, I happened upon a web page that featured the real names of a number of celebrities, which I found interesting. After that, I went searching for more. (Same thing with the funny animal pics collection).
