Best pet names

[dustthouart.livejournal.com]

What are the best pet names you've ever heard? What are some names you've given to pets?

I have a friend with a dachshund named Bonaparte, nn Boney.

The author of Dinosaur Comics named his dog Noam Chompsky.

"My" dog (originally mine, but stayed with my parents when I went to college, and I now live in another country in an apartment, so she'll probably never be truly mine again) is named Cinnabun, nickname Cinny. I've also had rats named Blossom and Vanilla.

My parents named their black furred animals after famous black people. I don't tell a lot of people the background of their names, but the black cat is named Kirby after Kirby Puckett and the black lab is named Maya after Maya Angelou. I was pushing for G.O.B. or Bob Loblaw for Kirby though, but Kirby suits him now.

I want my next cat to either be named Temperance or Booker, I'm also considering Meadow.
