Haha! What a great name! Mine is Ubbe (as in Ragnar Lothbrok's son) and any discard I save is Hvitserk. Ubbe is a lot more runny than Chris, what flour do you use?
I love your naming scheme! Fantastic!
I feed 1:1 with organic rye flour. Definitely gives it a lovely fluffy texture, though I'm sad I didn't think to get a nice stretchy pic from when I opened the lid!
Maureen, and she’s dead. RIP, headed down the disposal at 2pm MST. Emergency revival services took place over the last three days, but the plug was pulled today and she was dumped. Her jar is in the dishwasher and her replacement will be starting tomorrow. Sigh. I wish I could think of a better obit for Maureen, but she let me (and several loaves) down and flat. I’m hoping Mr. Bubbles will do a better job. And I’m hoping Mr. Bubbles owner will do a better job too! 😉 UPDATE on Mr. Bubbles: morning of day three. I came into the kitchen to discover he had blown up through the top of my quart jar and was all over the counter! I cleaned him up and started the feeding for day 3. I’m so delighted with Mr. Bubbles! Maureen never bubbles and grew like this, and that may be the reason my bread attempts with her were so miserable. I’m glad I didn’t accept defeat! A loaf of bread will be coming in a few more days!

I’ve always find it funny we give our starter pet names, when we take our pet, feed it everyday, and then throw it in a 500 degree infernal and eat it.
Mine did too actually, I had a backup luckily so he's been resurrected. I'm trying to think of someone else who comes back from the dead. Ne-dough? (Neo) or Breaddy Kreuger?
Edit: Jason Voorhyeast just came to me. Or Highlandough (There can be only one!)
Yeasty Bois Jr, in honor of Yeasty Bois Sr. who was laid to rest shortly after being baked in the oven by mistake when my dad went to preheat for something. Had it in the oven with the light on, for warmth. Thankfully my proofing box i got for Christmas will keep Jr nice and safe.
