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.

Our cats are Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. :) We usually call them Ethel and Julie, or collectively, The Rosenbergs. My parents have a dachshund names Brunhilde, nn Hildie (because dachshunds are German), and a cat named Chairman Meow, called The Chairman. Family tradition of naming cats after famous Communists.

If we ever got a dog, I really like the idea of Gatsby. So many great nickname possibilities. :)


Oh, and we have a friend with a cat named Ginsberg, and a dog named Virginia Woof (nicknamed Ginny!) and I love both of those as well!
