Todd that name was given to another gun years ago. Look it up.

Naming a gun is a difficult task. I have only named one gun out of hundreds that deserved names.

I named mine with feminine names, all except for my 32" Super Fox which is named Sledgehammer, and try to suit the name to the "personality" of the gun.

My Parker DHE 16/20 with 32" barrels is so pretty I named it after a nurse that I saw standing beside my bed when they took me off the ventilator which I had been on for 13 days, 4 1/2 years ago. Caroline, the daughter of a good hunting buddy of mine, was standing there and I thought she was the most beautiful thing I could imagine. I told her Dad that I later named my Parker after her, because of that.

I also have Valerie, my 32" Ithaca Grade 3 Super Ten, and Susie, my 32" Field Grade LC Smith 16 ga., among others.

I thought about naming my pigeon gun Rat Poison.

Thank you for that!

I have called my guns several names after "they" missed a bird, none of which were flattering.
