What are your pets' names and why?
 
I have two poodles and two cats.

The poodles are girls, Zelda and Stella. Zelda was named for Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (F. Scott's wife). She was a wild woman and my dog has her personality. Stella was named after Stella Kowalski, and I just love standing at my back door and calling, "STELLAAAAAAA!!!"

The cats are 4 months old each, brother and sister. The guy is Wolfie and the girl is Jade. Wolfie's face sort of looks like a wolf. Jade is all black with gorgeous green eyes.

All of them are rescued animals.

Dog = Sooty (yeah, it's unoriginal but I didn't name him)
Cat = Shorty, named by my brother who found the poor little guy all alone on the beach when he (the cat) was only about 2 weeks old

focalevo 05-16-2003 04:50 PM

one cat named Molly, not sure why or how that name came about.

one surviver of a fish called Fish,(this is true)

sierra2774 05-16-2003 06:00 PM

I have a dog named Sierra...because it is my favorite name..
I have a cat named Emily, because my Daughter named her..
and one more cat, named Roley from the tractor on Bob The Builder....My Son named that one.

mtsgsd 05-16-2003 06:16 PM

Well, you have to realize that AKC registered dogs have to have unique names, so they get kind of involved so:
The German Shepherds:
Chimanes mia zarifa balaniki
Chimanes Contessa
Carey Anne's midnight dreamer
Carey Anne's Lethal Weapon II
And the two mutts have simple ones ;)
Tazer because he was full of energy as a pup
Winston Churchill because she (yes she) looked like WC as a puppy (ask my wife on this one).

Spanky Johnson 05-16-2003 06:20 PM

We have a dog named Biff, a boxer mixed with something else. I don't know why I named him Biff, it just seemed like a good idea at the time.

bundy 05-16-2003 06:36 PM

my only pet atm is a fiesty little peachface.
he's called Peeper, because he goes PEEP all the time.

i do have a friendly pair of staffies who live near me who are called bourbon and coke. i think that says a lot about their owner.

Leander 05-16-2003 06:47 PM

My cats names are:
Schnitzel; because she has the energy level of a sausage
Mingus; after Charles Mingus and Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon
One Fish:
Rasputin; because the bastard is too mean to die.

WhoaitsZ 05-16-2003 07:13 PM

Raptor = a leopard gecko. novelty because she was like an inch and a half when i bought her and i thought... raptor is the ultimate predator.... so i named her that.

Lilly = a black collared lizard i named her Lilly because I saw a water dish in a Chinese water dragon bowl and in my mind's eye i saw a pretty lilly pad floating...

Mr. Gimp :D = black collared male. his real name is Clayton, i adopted him a bout twwo or three months ago. he is kind of not great off health wise. matter of fact, atm, i'm having to nurse him back to health.... he got sick, almost died.. went blind... but i couldn't put him to sleep... now he is fighting to get healthy again.... so Mr Gimp fits :)

i have a huge ass dog named jeb cuz his name was jeb when i adopted him.

i have a moma cat named Fred who we found wild living in a shack. in a course of three or so weeks we tamed her a bit and she moved in with us. we thought she was a he and named it Fred heh

Simba (dumb name...) is one of fred's daughters.


i had a parrot named buddy... fish named after demon princes heheh.. oscars... beelzebub, apolyon, so forth.

animals are my life.

LutherMac 05-16-2003 07:13 PM

One Husky Malamute Mix named Thule. Why? Well.. that was the name she already had when we adopted her... figured she was too old (5) to go through a name change...

:)

Ah, I've been through the desert on a fish with .... oh never mind.

Back when I used to keep salt-water tanks, I had a gorgeous batfish named Leo. Leo Batfish. One of the roving reporters in "The GrooveTube" had that name.

can you pet them both for me?

*dreams about labs............*

anyways...we have a horse.an arabian gelding.his name is legacy.

he came with the name we bought.scared shitless.if it rains on the tin roof he loses it.

he's fun to be around and the kids love him.

-Ever- 05-16-2003 10:14 PM

Chloe and Indy the dog. Chloe is named after our friends cat, the best cat in the world by far. Indy named after indiana jones (it was my brothers turn to name our pet :D )

vermin 05-16-2003 10:39 PM

Lucy the golden retriever/Irish setter/spaniel mutt - named that when we got her. Probably the reddish brown hair.

Baby (the short haired black cat) when my wife first got her, her meowing sounded like a baby crying.

Mikki (the long haired gray tabby/calico mix) head is all tabby striped except on top of the forehead a light brown blotch reminiscent of Mikhail Gorbachev's birthmark.

Sonny (the orange tabby) had that name when we got him.

The fish (three huge goldfish, one angelfish and two algae eaters) have no names since they don't come when you call them.

Slims 05-16-2003 11:34 PM

Had a Wheaten Terrier named Pippin and a cockatiel named Aussie.

I got to name a girlfriends fish Wanda, and anothers hampster Huey.

Reese 05-17-2003 03:24 AM

Our cat is named Mailbox, because that's where we found him.

I don't have a dog right now, last one ran away(or was stolen) since we live in a rural area people see a dog and think its a stray if its not near a house so they take them if they are pretty.

mxyzptlk 05-17-2003 03:30 AM

2 adopted stray cats:
Osama: he's simply a terrorist
Cleopatra: she expects to be waited on and demands permission before she is approached.

Have to mention the recently departed Zyzzybalubah, a lynx point siamese: that was the word of the day one Saturday on PeeWee Herman and was just too good a word not to use on something.

3 dogs:
Taz: Aussie who was already named when we got him
Medusa: Rotty named by a neighbor for the wrestler
Spock: Bouvy named for his ears

Ferets (then and now):
Hillary "Rat"ham Clinton, Feret Buehler, Feret Faucet Majors (nic is Spigot) and Newt Gingrat

Pygmy goat named Brad. He was a drop-off and named Luke at the time, but the day we got him he kept ramming his head against his temporary barrier. I said it looks like he is saying "Dammit" my kid responded "Janet" and the rest is musical history.

A rescued baby robin named Condor because he eats like the giant vulture, and a cockatiel, JW, named after an alcohol counselor of a friend...he likes a nip or two once in a while.

I'll leave the livestock and fish out of this post for brevity sake.

Zooksport2 05-17-2003 03:45 AM

We had a pet Kangaroo. Northern "red". I hit its mom with the car. Went to see if it was dead or alive. Found baby (joey) in her pouch. Grew into a six foot plus Male (Boomer). Used to scratch on the back door to be let in... very cute, very friendly. Named him " Casserole". (As in kangaroo tail stew, or Casserole) But we never ate him! We eventually went north and released him back into the wild. Got some pics of him when he was a joey somewheres. Also had a baby Emu for a while. Named her Ken. (short for Kentucky.)

mtsgsd 05-17-2003 05:13 AM

<what do you call them? warrrreagl

Sorry for the late reply warrrreagl,
in the order of the post:
Neke
Tessa
Remmi (midnight dreamer=dreamer=REM=Remmi)
Riggs (from lethal weapon II of course)
Tazer
Winnie
And that's skipping all the nicknames, which usualy makes a good thread all by itself on dog boards.
Forgot the two cats: Zoe' and Mozart. Just good names.
I think I'll skip the chickens, rabbits, and ducks. :)

afraidofninjas 05-17-2003 07:10 AM

Our Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback is Tie, after Tie Domi..
One cat named Ozzy, cause he is the prince of fucking darkness
another cat named Jasmine (wife's call)

Orionath 05-17-2003 07:28 AM

My dog's a German Shepard-Sharpei mix. Her name was Maui when I got her from the shelter. I never could explain why, but I just thought the name really suited her. She has a very sunny, happy, and playful personality and an easy-going temperment. Later, I found out that "Maui" is the name of the Hawaiian god of mischief.

Unsung's ferret is named Snowie. Her name was Smoky when we rescued her 'cause she was a "silver" color. Unsung called her Snowie by mistake once and the name stuck.

Fallon 05-17-2003 09:56 AM

let's see, my three ferrets, kanga, roo and Kali
We got roo first, umm, I don't remember why we called him roo, but kanga, well that's kinda obvious. And my fiancee decided on the name Kali.

homerhop 05-17-2003 11:59 AM

ninety09 05-17-2003 12:27 PM

and a frog taht doesnt have a name yet...

G_Whiz 05-17-2003 02:09 PM

Three cockatiels named Korey, Killer and Kelly.

Korey just because we had a history of naming birds with "K" names.

Killer because I had joked that if we ever got a female we should name her Killer.

Kelly because she was supposed to be my son's bird and he named her.

Minx 05-17-2003 06:51 PM

One dog - George...he was named that when I got him!
One cat - Sasha...just like the way it sounded.

Used to have a fish called poisson (no, not poison) and a frog named Robin (Kermit's nephew) :p and a little shark named Bruce (the name of the fake shark used in Jaws) - he was cool.

Frowning Budah 05-17-2003 07:20 PM

We have a Chow and my wife always names them after cartoon bears so his name is Fozzy.
The cats name is Latte cause she is kind of coffee and cream colored.

snowy 05-17-2003 07:31 PM

I have a black lab-greyhound mix named Jack after my grandpa, and two cats--Fuzz Bucket (my mother came up with that, I wanted to name her Pickles after Pickles the Fire Cat) and Spud (after Spuds McKenzie, Budweiser dog and symbol of the 80s). We also have a pond full of goldfish all named Gobbles after Timmy's turkey. :)

Kadath 05-17-2003 09:14 PM

One cat, Juliette, named by the place we adopted her from. We refer to her also as:
Julietta(pronouncing the "j" as a "wh", as in spanish)
Whiskers McButtlicker(I was drunk when I came up with it, and my gf teases me about it constantly)
Fatty(or Fatass, or Fatty Fatty Fat Fat, etc) she's slightly overweight. Slightly.

Miranda 05-18-2003 03:10 AM

Nugget: an Australian Cattle Dog (red healer) named for her color. She usually goes by Boofhead, though.

Pogo: a Sugar Glider (Australian flying possum) named for the comic strip character.

Jacko: another Sugar Glider, named for the Aussie footballer. Sadly, Jacko passed away last month.

billege 05-19-2003 08:26 AM

Ben = all white Maine Coon kitty cat.

Jake = killer teddy bear hampster from hell. He'll bite anything you stick in front of him, or to the side, or even within snapping distance.

Ben camed named, I took him from a buddy when he was 1. Buddy had to get him gone to keep an apt. where kittys not allowed.

Jake we got on a whim, is named Jake, because. Well, because it sounded right.

davidc209 05-19-2003 09:53 AM

I used to have an iguana named Iggy. After reading the reptile newsgroups, I think 90% of the people in this world who own an iguana have named it Iggy. At the time I had the lizard, I have never heard that name before and thought I was being VERY original..

I also had two tarantulas named Killer and Deathstar. They would attack and kill anything put into their cages. Pretty cool pets...

Cynthetiq 05-19-2003 11:06 AM

black cat - lakkris - icelandic for licorice
striped cat - bacchus - god of wine beause it's cool

merkerguitars 05-19-2003 11:18 AM

One black lab named crook cause he tail has a kink in it cause we think the person who own him when he was a couple of months old got his tail stuck in a car door :(

And one tabby cat named iris cause it's a pretty sounding name :)
