I had a pet name for my daughter early on after her birth. Pookie Brain. My wife insisted I find a new pet name. My daughter's nick is now "Lil Puppy". Even though she is 21. ;)

Offshore all the "deepwater stuff" is named platforms. Often name came from geologist who first identified play. Rumor I've heard is they didn't want to say the block # for fear of other companie's folks overhearing and then knowing the prospect the geologist was workingh on.
One of Chevron's new platforms is "Blind Faith". Named after the old Clapton band. Chevron also has Genesis, Tahiti, Petroneus (had one called Typhoon but it flipped over in Katrina). Some Shell has are Bullwinkle, Mad Dog, Ursa and they had one named Crazy Horse but had to change the name to Thunder Horse cause the injuns were offended.
I like the names. I'd like to have a well named "Big Daddy!"
Long live the Haynesville Shale!

I once ran across a track of land in Natchitoches Parish that was owned by Penis Johnson. They never drilled him.

My dogs back legs don't work so I have to squeez him out over the Wall Street Journal every morning. They taught me how to do that at the LSU Vetenary School in Baton Rouge. I guess I could learn to wright onto the paper with dog pee but if his legs get crossed the pee squirts off target sometimes into my shoe.

From Title 43:

E. In order to make the designation of the well, as referred to above, more uniform throughout the state, and thus to facilitate the handling of all matters relative to any particular well, the following system of rules has been developed for use in the naming of wells in the future in Louisiana.
1. In no case shall any operator name or well name exceed 30 characters. A space is equivalent to one character.
a. Abbreviations shall be used whenever possible to comply with the above. It is recommended that "S" be used for sand and "U" for unit.
b. The official well name appearing on Form MD-10-R (Application to Drill) shall be used when reporting on all Office of Conservation forms and also in any correspondence.
2. Lease Wells. All wells drilled on a lease basis shall bear the lessor's surname and initials or given name.
Example: Lease Name Well Number
J. R. Smith Number 2
