happypervert -> Goofy names for pets (11/8/2004 9:35:47 PM)
Does anybody else like to give pets unusual names? Cats are such prissy regal critters, so I think they deserve to have dopey names. Now I have one named Shemp; have had others named Iggy and Zeke. A friend had a dog named Dudley. I think that is a hell of a lot more amusing than Rover or Spot. So, anyone else?

We had two stray kittens adopt us, part siamese and one had a black mask so we named them Smokey and the Bandit. Smokey (good kitty) is now 9, but Bandit disappeared after a few months with us. We also have Oscar (bad kitty).

We had a cat named Frazzle (from the sesame street character).

One of my kitty's name is Nimue. The first question I get when people hear her name is "What the heck does that mean?" It's fun. My other kitty's name is Luna, which is unorigional, but she -wasn't- named for the moon. Rather, when I got her, her eyes were -exactly- the color of a luna moth's wings.

I personally know of a cocker spaniel named Tap Root, which I think is very strange. My pug is named Szechuan Lo Mein and comes from a long line of Chinese menus-- Mu Shu Gai Pan, Won Ton Stickers and Hunan Egg Roll. I think if I ever get another I am just going to call her Combo Platter 4.

I don't have any pets now, but the cats I've had in the past, no matter what name they start out with invaribly wound up being called "kitty." Boring I know. The dogs I've had- had names like: Pepper, Sparkle, Maggie, Kelly, and Mishigus- yiddish for troubled or crazy.

That's hilarious! Combo platter... I once heard of a dog named Dumfries. Sounded more like a camel name to Me....

Kids have a basset hound named Chester... (which is at their dads house now) i don't know where the name came from but a odd name for a Dog isn't it? we have 2 Rats also -- Chrissy and Oreo -- guess we can all guess why one is named Oreo... but Chrissy is actually named after a cousin of mine, i bet she would be happy to know my daughter named a Pet Rat after her. we didnt get real creative with the stray kitty that has adopted us... we just call her "Kitty" giggles ~jenn~

this slave used to live in a mountainous, rural area and was in charge of keeping the 11 acres "fire-safe". to help out with the poison oak, stinging nettle and other nasties, she would obtain pairs of goats to work the hillsides. this slave decided to name them after "disco-era" recording artists...."Chaka Khan and Rufus", "K.C. and Sunshine", etc. currently, we live in a big city and have only 2 (indoor)cats....as a Barry Manilow tribute, they are named "Lola" and "Rico". this slave's brother used to have an old english sheepdog with the name "Lt. Colonel Beauregard Shagnasty"

I have a fish named Gefilte.[:D] For those of you who may be less familiar, I've attached a picture of Gefilte Fish in its more usual configuration. [image]local://upfiles/39715/1EB719F084C340A4811D212D2917DEDA.jpg[/image]

I have two Maltese females names Buffy and Cissy. I plan on sometime getting a male to name him Jody and a female to name her Mrs. Beasley. Can you tell I grew up with 70's tv?[8\|]

My son named the dog he got for his 4th birthday George. He still insists to this day (and he is now 18) it is a good name for a dog.... Ironcally, a few weeks ago Master found a dog named George was the only medal of honor winner that was not human. It was later taken away because people didn't like the idea of a dog getting an award that was suppose to be such a high honor for a person. ::laughing:: but, since my son wasn't even in school yet, I doubt he knew that strange little fact :)

My spouse names the dogs and I name the cats. We've had a Golden Retriever named Bear which was short for Theodore Aubert (Cajun name pronounced A-Bear). Now, we have a Black Lab named Ace (Ace In The Hole) and a 3/4 Black Lab (and something else really, really stubborn) named Tiger (Tiger Woods had just won a golf tournament). We've had three cats: Mr. Piggy, Buttons, and Spookie. Spookie was so named because he was so easily spooked. Should have seen him the first time he saw the ceiling fan on!

My Mom had a dog named Hoover, as he would eat anything left on the floor...to include, of course...non-consumeables. ~Thorns

I almost forgot about the college dorm goldfish, Fish Stick. My brother has only ever owned black cats and dogs. Bela, Nuthin, Chaos, Alien 1, Alien 2 and Tucker.

I have two girl dogs names Ginger and Cocoa. The cat...well...he started out as Mr. Whiskers, then it was Mr. Thunder...then it was Bandit...my daughter can't make up her mind so i guess he's just going to be called kitty lol.

When my oldest daughter was 4 years old she wanted a kitten. i got her a goldfish instead to start out so she would learn the responsability of pet ownership. She gave the fish the name of 'Fluffy'. -- guess she STILL wanted the kitten instead. i had a cat as a child that my mom named 'Meneu'. She says that was what her cries sounded like when she wanted to eat or be let out. i have a Shih Tzu now, named 'PoohBear'. my youngest daughter, who will be 5 years old next month, named her that when we got the dog two years ago.
