Hello All!
I thought this would be a cute idea, let's see where it goes. =D

Post the names of all your pets. Also add if you named them or not and where the name came from if you wish.
I shall begin:
Dog-Oscar (both my mom and I named him, we got him the night of the Academy Awards)
Bird- Hearsay (my mom named him, because he "says" what he "hears" ><; meh)
Bird- Elton (I named him when I was 10 because when we were driving home from the pet store an Elton John song was playing XD)
And then some various fish that I have named after my irl friends: Ginger, Anthony, Eric, Carlos, Chris, etc. Most of the fish are dead now. XD

lol. I wanted to have a tarantula when I was a kid. I don't anymore. My sister has them, though. :) She also has some stick insects and hissing cockroaches.

Tons of cool pets is interesting, but it's expensive and time consuming. We don't have much of a life outside of it, but we're fine w/ it. We made a commitment to them (and our fosters) and we stick w/ it.

Dog- Maddie. Husband named her. We picked her up and were headed to his parents house and they live on a road called Wayne Madison so he was like "Madison...Maddie...do you want to be called Maddie?" and I guess she seemed to like it because when I arrived, he said that was her name lol
Dog- Hunter. I actually named him. My husband told me before we were even considering children that he wanted a child named Hunter and I refused so I thought that would be a really nice way to compromise and suggested it.
Dog-Double Dip. lol... doesn't fit with the other two names, huh? Husband named her. She has two spots aka "dips" :-P Hey, at least we're pretty sure no one else out there has named their dog Double Dip!

Current Pets:

Cat, Snuggs: She is pretty old now, since I've had her since I was 7. The name came from a book about a girl on the Oregon trail who has a kitten she brings with her named Snuggs. The name suits her, she's huge and cuddly.

Kitten, Benny: He's about 5 1/2 months. He came with the name because we got him from the shelter, but it really suits him. His full name has been decided to be Benny Goodcat (like Benny Goodman the musician)

Recent and now deceased pets:

Hamster, Sark: Named after Mr. Sark from the Alias TV show.

2 fish, Avogadro, and 12 Cent: Avogadro named after the person who invented Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23) because I am a science nerd and 12 Cent because he cost 12 cents...and also he was a gangster like 50 Cent.

Childhood Pet:
Cat, Isadora: My parents named her wayyyy before I was born. She was 19 when she died so she was around for a lot of my childhood. She was very regal looking and the name means "gift of Isis" so it stuck. And I am planning on using it for a future child middle name.

Morgen Isabelle [german shepherd]. my mom named her Morgen...don't know where she got it from. I added the Isabelle because it was what the people who bred her named her before we got her.

Betta Fish - Emily (He's male, and he's pink, so I thought he'd make a nice Emily.)
Pirahna - Babelfish Translator, Colonel Chompers, The Other One (Babelfish Translator was named as such because I wanted something with the word 'fish' in it; Colonel Chompers' name came from the fact that he ate part of The Other One; and The Other One is just the other one, lol)

My parents have a Cocker Spaniel named Outlaw, and they named him that because he's not an in-law, he's an outlaw.

Waltraud the Mighty (I named her - it was a toss up between Waltraud and Dagmar, but she looked more like a Traud, so that's what we went with.)
and 1 Betta Fish:
Constable Worthington (husband named him because he likes the title "constable" and I wouldn't let him use it on the rats.)

My pets:

Dog: Dingle
My mom and dad and grandpa named him. There's a place in Ireland called the Dingle Peninsula, where tons of Britney spaniels run free. Our dog was a Britney, so they named him Dingle.

DOg: Peabo
I named him after Peabo Brison, the guy who sings A Whole New World with Celine Dione. I liked the name and could never pronounce it when I was little. So clearly I thought it should be our dog's name. :-)

Dog: Laser
My guide dog (see the picture above) I didn't name him, but like his name a lot. His middle name, which I did choose, is Tybalt, meaning "he who sees" in Latin.

Dogs:
Casey and Brandy were brother/sister collies. I named Casey from a list I was given when I was 5. It is after Casey from Mr. Dressup.

We had a dog named Finnegan, also a reference to Mr. Dressup. He lives with my dad now though.

Radar is my current baby. He is a portuguese water dog. Named after Big Birds teddy bear/M*A*S*H.

I had a cow named Tugs because they had to really tug her out when she was born.

I have to betta fish, Albert (Einstein) and Tonks (Harry Potter)
