Status: offline 		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?

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.

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.

The dogs I've had- had names like: Pepper, Sparkle, Maggie, Kelly, and Mishigus- yiddish for troubled or crazy.

Status: offline 		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"

Status: offline 		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"

Status: offline 		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 :)

Status: offline 		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!

Status: offline 		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.
