Oh! LOL! The string sounds to me like he made it up.

The names Cody and Savannah are too current to sound like Pippi and the animal names too normal. You can't name a monkey Mr. Nilsen (sp?) and then call anything a mere Flipper or Splash. smile

Asia (the continent) is mentioned in the books in reference to Pippi and her father's travels, but I don't think it's used as a name in any other sense.

But that's just my take. Maybe it's in the book and I just don't remember it. I hope not. I like it better if your son put it all together! laugh
