Eevee the Pokemon was named after the first two letters "EV" of "Evolution", because, hey English is COOL in Japan in the 90s, also エヴォリューション (Evolution) is hard to say and イーブイ (Eevee) is easier. The Japanese Pokemon use the term 進化 (shinka) for evolution. https://pokeca.diarynote.jp/201302212206222841/

Also, the English team almost named it Eon instead. So all VaporEon, JoltEon, FlarEon would've made more sense. https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/10/eevee-gen-1-pokemon-leak/

So technically Eevees are EVs ⚡ 🚗

All Dutch babies are born bringing little mice to snack on.

In the “beschuit met muisjes” tradition we celebrate a birth by handing out pieces of toast with butter and sugar glanced anise seeds. The tradition dates back to dangerous birthing times when the survival of mother and child was greatly celebrated. It's said that the newborn 'brought' the delicacy nicknamed "muisjes" (little mice) with them.

Perhaps it explains our fondness for cheese.
