Beavers' first names?
Posted: Apr 12, 2020 9:17 pm
Hey everybody,
A quick question occurred to me after watching the LWW movie last night with my siblings. Why do Mr. and Mrs. Beaver not seem to have first/specific names? How do they tell themselves apart from all the other beavers in Narnia if all they go by is "beaver?"
(Ok, I think it's pretty obvious that Lewis didn't really consider things like this when he started writing Narnia. He seems to have started naming his animals in Prince Caspian. But just for the sake of some fun speculation, (which Narnia fans seem to love) how would you explain the beavers' apparent lack of first names? What do you think would make good first names for Mr. and Mrs. Beaver?
