I'm going to be taking my Log Driver with me on my travels through the year but he needs a name.

Robert for Robert Gaudreault, a famous log driver from Quebec?
or Joseph for Joseph Montferrand, a French-Canadian folk hero and logger?

I have an obvious preference but I’d like to set that aside and thank you for the ear worm you’ve dropped on me. 😅

Johnny or John for John Weldon who created the animated character your log driver is based on. Or, if you prefer, his family name, Weldon.

Joseph, or perhaps Jacques

He looks like a Birley to me.
🎶For he goes birling down and down the white water🎶

The most Canadian name I know, Gordon

Wade, after the writer of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDlPtJw0vQE

Go Joseph. The middle name for most Quebecers too.

Robert

Walt. As in “The Log Driver’s Walt”

miaofdoom.bsky.social•81 days ago

My vote is for Joseph! Your little log driver is so so cute; wherever did you find him?

evaine.bsky.social•81 days ago

I vote for Joseph. Or you could even call him Monty - short for Montferrand. 😁

toondreessen.bsky.social•81 days ago

How about a good French Canadian name like Joseph Robert Tremblay?

laurasimba.bsky.social•81 days ago

@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social So many great names I can think of, but to some them up together, knowing how dangerous this job was, I would like to submit my suggestion of Mr. Courageux.
