I had a black snake that lived in my attic when I was renting( the house wasn’t great, and he was great pest control so I just left him up there to come and go as he pleased) that I named David Hisselhoff. Everybody used to freak out when I’d tell him that he was up there, but I didn’t mind and I would always tell them not to hassle the Hoff.

I read in a local paper a Community Spotlight article about a local business man and his family. There was a photo of the man and his family, along with the two family dogs.
The man’s last name was Hussey. His golden retrievers were named Shameless and Brazen.
It’s been decades and I still believe they were the best names ever!
