Made all the better because it's true! Everyone called her Tiger until she was about four years old. Around that age, she was finally conscious enough of the world that she requested we not call her that, instead preferring her given name. She didn't (nor did I) know what the meaning of Tiger was, but she knew that it wasn't a normal name.

Oh, my god, as a girl I'd love to be called "Tiger." Of course, I say this now as an adult - in school it might have been difficult.

I'm imagining it now. "Tiger Brogan." Has a nice ring to it.
