ReplyDeleteI once had three kittens named Toska, Tamino and Turandot after opera characters :)
DeleteI like the sound of both of these today.
ReplyDeleteWe do love a bit of opera, us posh people...
DeleteDidn't really expect Dylan Sprouse or his brother to have acting careers after their Disney days... 😏🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteMe neither!
DeleteMy father's name is Giacomo. Never saw it anywhere else other then my family members! Like Hot Guys, Dylan Sprouse was a surprise name as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThey were definitely the worst among the Disney brats, and that said having Miley in mind as well....
DeleteThey were pretty obnoxious. Are you familiar with the newer Disney stars? Sadly, I am thanks to my daughter. The two biggest modern Disney hits seem to be Descendants and Zombies.
DeleteThankfully I avoid everything Disney related ever since they went Marvel and Star Wars and woke.
