It was our first choice but our friend's dog is named Cassilda (granted he's been adopted by another family but still) so we want our name to be more ~exclusive.

But it's not off the table, we do love the name.

It's a really great name.

Cool

BTW, who is Cassilda?

Musidora · 03-10-2016, 08:53 PM

It's the nickname of one of my friends, a reference to one of the greatest actresses in Brazil, the late Cacilda Becker. It ended up becoming a verb/adjective to describe a person who's too much, either in a good or bad way.

It's one of the possible names for my new kitty but we haven't decided it yet (it's our favorite option if we're being honest though

)

oh that's wonderful

!!!

I just read about her and she died young.

Musidora · 03-12-2016, 08:57 PM

Antonina? How old was she when she died?

Tisha89 · 03-12-2016, 11:00 PM

No, I was talking about Becker. Antonina died aged 62.

Musidora · 03-13-2016, 12:25 AM

OMG I completely forgot we were just talking about Cacilda.

Tisha89 · 03-13-2016, 12:28 AM

Never go full Cacilda.

Thanks for the pic! This thread needs more Johan Heldenbergh as he is the co-lead.

Here's a quote from her interview with Flaunt Magazine:

Quote:

I also have a film coming out next year called The Zookeeper’s Wife, which is about a Polish woman named Antonina Zabinski who ran a zoo that she used to hide people during the Nazi invasion. It’s about the animals healing the people, and the people healing the animals. I went to Warsaw and visited the zoo, which is still there. I wanted to understand what it may have felt like.”
