name that dog!

[arbus.livejournal.com]

our pets names:

virginia (border collie mix)

cats: nigel and grace (and maggie... r.i.p.)

we are animal lovers, obviously. and the guy just called from work (he is a vet at an emergency clinic) with a stray he has fallen head over heels for...

obviously we like people-ish names (although grace is the only one who didnt come with her name, actually)



this isnt her, but she looks similar...

[arbus.livejournal.com]

um, no.

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

The first two that came to mind were Agnes and Scarlet.


I looove people names for girl dogs, but not as much for boy dogs. Dunno why.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

my friend already has a dog named agnes, but i do like scarlet!

[pixietangerine.livejournal.com]

i love your pets' names! nigel on a cat is too cute. :)

i think that dog looks like a good helen, agatha, martha, eloise, elsa, gretel...or i liked one of the other suggestions of agnes.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

nigel is a good boy. we almost renamed him when we brought him home (i wanted to name him willie, after willie nelson) but he just really IS a nigel. hes a sweetie.

i knew a cat named helen, but it was a long time ago. helen is good!

thanks! :)

LOVE molly and rosalie! i would probably go with rosie if we didnt have a brand new neice named that!

but LOVE LOVE LOVE stella! yes! thanks!

haha... ruby is our number one girls name (for a human daughter)

my fathers cat is named pearl, and i have a good friend named bethany!

My kitty is named Stella and I get so many compliments, ha. I think it's a very cute name... especially for an animal because I think you can get away with nickname type names. If I had a daughter I'd name her Estelle or Estella, not just Stella. But it really works for our kitty (plus tons of nicknames with this name - Elle, Ella, Bella).

I want a female cat named Pearl, lol.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

my father and stepmothers cat is named pearl. shes a doll. isnt it just an adorable name for a cat? i love it. :)

[fueschgast]

Donna.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

She looks like an Ellie to me.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

ooooh i LOVE ellie, and i agree! thank you!

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

[spikes-sexkitty.livejournal.com]

she looks like a Trixie or a Lola ... Anna also came to mind.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

seeing it's a hunting kind of dog, maybe one of these:

Atalanta... was an athletic young maiden huntress who refused to marry any man who couldn't beat her in a foot race. In the end, she was defeated by a Greek warrior who used a ruse by dropping 3 golden apples he had obtained from the goddess Aphrodite. The huntress paused to pick them up, he finished ahead of her, and she was his.

Cyrah... pron. SEER-ah, SYE-rah. Persian origin, its meaning is "throne; sun". Cyrah and variants are feminine forms of Cyrus. It means "lady", as a variant of Kyria (Greek). Greek mythology: Cyrene was a maiden-huntress loved by Apollo.

And there's always Diana. She does look kind of royal. :]

Re: first thought:

[arbus.livejournal.com]

wow thank you!

i love the story behind atalanta! how cool! but i really like the sound of cyrah!

and of course, diana!

I love really dated names on pets, like Janet (I think that is Fiona Apple's dogs name), just because they are so unexpected.

[queenfinn.livejournal.com]

Emily, Daphne, Bella, and Molly are all people names I want to use for future dogs. My dog is Sophie and we almost got a dog named Abby.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i like emily and daphne. sophie is another one that we have saved for a person. abby is great too! :)

[queenfinn.livejournal.com]

I agree about Sophie, she was already named when we got her. Luckily she's my mom's dog but if I have kids while she's still alive (which probably will happen) I'll have to put off using Sophie. My numbe rone girl name is Emma at the moment though so that's good.

[harri-cady.livejournal.com]

You've gotten some great suggestions and I don't really have any to add.

Just wanted to say we are "people name" pets too.

Dog - Walter
Cats - Maya and Lily
