Errol is the name of the Weasley's family owl in the Harry Potter books.

This is a name often used in the former English Colonies of the Afro-Caribbean Islands like Jamaica, Trinidad, and so forth for men. I think it is a dashing and handsome name.
I can’t hear this name without thinking of Errol Flynn, but that is by no means a bad thing. Errol makes me think of a strong handsome man who fights for what is right, and though he sometimes breaks the rules he has a good heart. I just want to know why somebody would ruin this gorgeous man’s name by naming an owl Errol!
