Introducing our new buddy boy, Boston, also known as Boss, or most commonly Bozo (or Bozik). And no, naming him Boston has nothing to do with Matt Damon or Ben Affleck. š
I wanted to give him a name that you could easily call out at the park to get their attention and that had some meaning to it. I really like the name Boston because of the Puritan, Thomas Boston, and when I looked into where this name came from Boston in New England was named after Boston in Lincolnshire, England, which was named after the Saint Botolf, or Bot-Wulf. Ton=town so Bot-Wulf Town over the years was shortened to Boston. When they named Boston after Boston, they specifically chose it because Boston, England was a center of Protestantism.
I was having trouble getting Lera to like this name the way I did but after we met him and saw what a fun clown he is, I said we could call him Bozo for short and Lera was sold on it. She likes the Z sound so Boston, or Bozo, it is.
I also came to learn that Bozo is actually Eastern European Slavic, used in Croatia and Serbia. A lot of guys have this name and it means the same thing as Theodore, gift of God, so yeah, it fits perfect perfectly.
This guy is a little tornado. Heās jumping straight up onto the dining room table running and then flying through the air like Evel Knievel so we had to rearrange everything for his own safety.
