Oh, OK then I suppose. It had never even occurred to me that the first syllable could rhyme with “hay”.

Very little doubt about the answer, though.

Re: Tod, Webster http://www.webster-dictionary.net/d.aspx?w=tod suggests ‘probably’ from its bushy tail, tod also being a word for a bush.

Sorry, don’t know how to do hypertext links on here.

Azure … Asia? Eye-catching, yes, but for the wrong reason. Seems hopelessly stretched.

I think I’ve seen it used as a name like “Brock the Badger”, but can’t remember where. This seems to be the source for the Disney name.
