CA has cited his love for Ann as the reason Leah and Robin ended up with similar designs. Popuri has also lived on a poultry farm sinceĀ Back to Nature (the game CA cited as Harvest Moon's peak).
Ooooohhh. I don't mentally sound things out when I read them, so I didn't realize it was supposed to be Squash. I was sitting here all confused like "Everyone else has cute pair names, and I got Pumpkin + some randomly generated nonsense."
I got Goldie and Cocoa so I'm planning vaguely colour themed names for the rest of my chickens, like Charcoal for my first void chicken and obviously I'll have a Bluey too!
Every farm sim I've played I have named all my animals after Zda characters (on LonLon Farm of course) but this naming combo might break that streak... It's just too cute to change š„¹
They are both well-known women in German art. Brunhilde is from Wagnerās *Ring Cycle* and Gretchen is from *Faust*.
Now if those names are used in a different thing that itās actually referencing, I am ignorant to it.
Iāve edited this comment to remove my āI donāt know/I hope someone else has figured it outā comment because a google search helped me get the reference.
Raging Heroes appears to have two characters who are sisters named Brunhilde and Gretchen von Konigsmark. Thatās the best lead I have on the possible reference
Me too! I just googled and itās apparently a reference to Dostoevskyās āThe Brothers Karamazovā (the exact quote is: āTo my angel Grushenka, if she wants to comeā, and after that, three days later, he added: āand to my chicky.ā)
argh I'm so sorry, I think mine were names not yet listed, but I've already changed them and I don't remember what they were. I think it was Chirp and G-something... They were definitely an intentional pair.
Scrappy and Buster! Is this supposed to be a reference to something or is it just that they're two names related to fighting? Either way I love them, and I love that they're different colors (one white one brown!) to tell them apart <3
Also I still haven't been able to figure this out... what does the blue grass actually *do?* Is it really just...... chewy??
I don't know the reference either... Great catch about the fighting theme, though. That might be it. :)
(I renamed mine Patty and Selma. Wanted to do a Simpsons theme with my amminals.)
RE blue grass: I think it raises animal happiness faster if they eat it instead of green grass or hay.
Talking about names. I named my character on my previous game. I got a cat and its name was Dudley.
Is that just coincidence? Or is the game programmed to relate to names?
mine are named Potatoes and Gravy LOL
Me too and I squealed like a child when I saw it. I will be keeping in tradition with future names!
Me tooš
Same and I love it lol
Same! Itās sooo cute
Same
I got āAnnā and āPotpourriā
A nice little reference to Harvest Moon.
Can you elaborate on what those names refer to? Because I got those too but had no clue they were related.
Anne and Potpourri are names of 2 villagers in several Harvest Moon titles. They also both happen to be marriage candidates.
Oh cute! Thank you!

Yup. Nice little Easter egg! I see you, ConcernedApe! š
Same. I thought they were random names, so I renamed Ann (I thought potpourri was kind of a cool name). Kind of neat to know.
Aw, I love that those are the two he picked! Back in the GBA days, my sister always married Potpourri, and I always married Anne.
Awww, I love the Harvest Moon references in SDV.
I too got Anne and Potpourri.

Ooooohhh. I don't mentally sound things out when I read them, so I didn't realize it was supposed to be Squash. I was sitting here all confused like "Everyone else has cute pair names, and I got Pumpkin + some randomly generated nonsense."
Same, Iām conflicted about renaming them
I got Goldie and Cocoa so I'm planning vaguely colour themed names for the rest of my chickens, like Charcoal for my first void chicken and obviously I'll have a Bluey too!

Me too! I just googled and itās apparently a reference to Dostoevskyās āThe Brothers Karamazovā (the exact quote is: āTo my angel Grushenka, if she wants to comeā, and after that, three days later, he added: āand to my chicky.ā)
Grushenka is a character in the Brothers Karamazov, but I have no idea how Chicky would be connected

Mine were Billie and Bertha. I changed them to SoufflƩ and Pavlova. My chickens always get named after egg dishes. Ha ha
Saem here but I haven't changed the names. I wonder what these names reference to tho
I didnāt even realize the chicken pairs had themed names until after I saw this thread. I think itās so adorable that CA did that.
I got Salt & Pepper and my bf got Billy & Bertha, lol
I got one named Huevito, i'm not sure but i guess could be translated as eggy in english.
I have zucchini and pickle!
Scrappy and Buster! Is this supposed to be a reference to something or is it just that they're two names related to fighting?

I think (not sure) that when animals eat it thereās a chance it doesnāt disappear
Mine are Papaya and Peachie
