babynamesWhat 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.

Date: 2012-09-11 08:28 am (UTC)The dogs my parents had when I was born were Tippy (doxiepoo) and Kilty (border collie); we got Poochie (terrapoo) when I was 5, but she came from the SPCA and was already named. I also had a cat named Blackie which was also the name of the cocker spaniel my parents got after Poochie died
Mom now has two cats named Wendy and Dixie (and Dixie's a boy...)
Hubby and I have a mini doxie named Maximus
Oh, and my brother- and sister-in-law have two dogs both named Gracie (they always joke that's how they knew they were meant for each other lol)

- There are three cats in my apartment atm: Meeka (brown tabby Maine Coon girl) and Smudge (orange tabby boy), both belonging to my roommate, and Luna (solid white girl), a stray we took in until we can find her a home.
- Roommate's parents have a Black Lab/Rottweiler mix named Dallas, and Roommate's grandmother's Black Lab is named Charlie.
- My mother and her brother and sisters had various dogs growing up, including Alaska, Blackie, and Sheba, and a cat named Patches.
- My aunt and uncle have a German Shorthaired Pointer named Jager (not after the liquor--my uncle hunts with the dog) and my other aunt and uncle have a Great Pyrenees mix with bright blue eyes, named (oh-so-creatively) Blue
- Last but not least, one of Roommate's university professors has a poodle named Mozart.

Date: 2012-09-11 03:39 pm (UTC)Catzilla got his name because he was fond of climbing on my friend's dollhouses and destroying them.
My current kitty is named Tessie, after the Red Sox song (because I love my husband, not because I'm a fan myself). Our next kitty, if it's male, will be named Mario LeMew.
