When I hear the name of Boo (the Minsc's hamster), I remember the anime Dragon Ball Z, when I was a child, I used to watch this anime, and I remember the name Booboo in my country,(but Boo in the comic). Could the creators of BG get this name? is Boo a universal name in this world?, could be boo an child sigh into all us?, could be boo the smaller giant space mouse?....

LOL, when I first heard the name way back in BG1, I immediately thought of "Boo Radley", the recluse in "To Kill A Mockingbird" that the kids thought was a spook.

I guess we all have our own points of reference for names.

I always think of Boo as an annoying and tormented annimal that some sick guy carries around, and thou he desperatley "squeeks" every minute that he is sick of being a pet and just want to go see his famely in the sewers again.

Thats just my thoughts thou.
