where do you get your pet's name?

i got my cats name because when she was little she liked to cuddle so i called her cuddles

I think of a characterisitc of my pets - for example are they a serious cat or dog, are they black or white or both, are they fat or thin....and call them something based on a personality characteristic or a physical one. Thats the way I do it! Have had a Master Beanpole, a Duchess, a Floozy (that was a promiscous cat), a Leviathan...the list goes on!

I know a dog named fog! LOL I have: Izzy her name is Elizabeth and had her name when I got her. Motorhead- He had a different name at first but his purr was so load we started calling him motorhead. Daxter- My daughter got the name from a game. It is unusual and I like it.

We have two cats, Amy and Tiggy. Their father's name was Ghosty because when he was a kitten, he would just disappear in front of our eyes, plus he was a very pale gray, so the name stuck. He fathered the ones we have now. We had originally called Amy , jaime and one day a friend called her Amy ( when she was a kitten. Her brother Tiggy , is a tiger streaked cat, so the name Tiggy was not hard to find.. Flamenca

My two older dogs are named Bucky and Bettie. Bettie is a corgi and I bought from a breeder in Bettie, TX So thus, that is where her name came from. She was the last one in the litter. Now Bucky is a basset hound. She was the quiet one in the litter and that is why I picked her. She kinda matches my personality. I didn't want to name her after the small town I bought her from like Bettie's. I thought about that town high school mascot; they are the Buckeyes so that is how I came up with Bucky. The two small towns in Texas are only miles apart. I bought them on the same day when they were only 7 wks old. Bettie is exactly one week older, but they are a pair...Bucky and Bettie!!!!!!!

well i normally name pets according to the person or any recent incident that has an impact on me! so to say last time i watch a movie about two brothers and like that movie a lot, and then after a week or two, our neighbor's dog gave birth some puppies and they gave us two of them, so i gave the dogs the name of the two brothers of the movie!!! my dogs became quite popular in our locality because of those names!!lol!! that's how i do it!!

from video games I play.

Well most of our pets are named after characters from movies or tv shows. For example we have an orange cat that when we got him looked jst like the kitten from "Oliver and Company". We therefore named him Oliver. We have one cat though named Cricket. He got his name because he doesn't meow, he chirps. I swear he does. He chirps at you. He also likes to hop like a cricket, especially when he was younger. The name just seems to fit him

My sister and I used to name our dog from all our favorite character in any TV shows, a funny sound name!Last May, we got 1 dog and since that time, we were following the show at abs-cbn where one of our favorite characters is named "puknat", so we named it puknat!

Our cats name is Morgana. It comes from the movie Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. In the movie, Elvira inherits a house from her Great Aunt Morgana Talbot, the true Mistress of the Dark...call me crazy but I always liked the name. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Well, lets see. Harmony, my german shepard I named because I thought we all need some harmony in our lives. When Roxie, whom was already named, had her pups I asked my friends to help with names because there were so many of them. We had Bandit, Zen, Karma, Diesel, Forest, Hunter, and Dakota. We work on cars so that is where the auto type names came from. We once had a dog named Chassie. My hubby is Native American decent so we have chosen names from that. We have a rottie mix named Cherokee and a mutt named Chief. I love stones and have one cat named Jade. Another cat named Pumpkin because of her orange and white fur. Smokey is a really smoky gray colored cat. I have always liked the name Carly so the youngest cat whom is also orange is white is named that. Fancy is a bobtail manx mix cat. She really is fancy looking. My step father had a thing for naming pets with the letter "S". We had Stormy and Squirt, both dogs, growing up.

My chinchillas are called Pepsi and Max.. Originally, we were going to call them Salt and Pepper, as one is dark and one is light, then we were talking about what we'd end up calling them, and realised "Pepper" would end up being called Peps, or Pepsi a lot. When we realised that, my sister and I looked at each other and said 'Pepsi and Max' and that's what they're called! My other chinchilla is called Dusty, as she's mostly white but has a dark nose, and dark tips on her fur.. so she looks like she rang head first into a big pile of dust or something! haha.

i have this dog name "sunshine". I named him that because he's always in a good mood. always in a playful mood..

Well I have a ton of pets so here goes nothing: Sugar:(white cat, simple enough. I named her when I was 6(she has obvously since passed away, but awesome cat). You arnt but so clever at 6. A whole bunch of Siamese Cats named for spices:(We were a foster home for Siamese Cats until they went to their forever family): Spice Sugar(another one, that was a confusing month or 2) Nutmeg Cardemom(Card for short) Cinnamon Chile Anise Marjoram Pumpkin Chipotle(for the record this was before the restaurant) Saffron Sesame Tarragon Tumeric And the Siamese I have now: Dolce (her sister is Gabanna and lives with my best friend) We have a Welsh Corgi named Tally(full show name is Keswick's Tally Ho) and horses: Mr. Pibb(not sure, but loved Mr. Pibb as a kid and I named him...) Speakeasy(he actually spoke) Syndey(mothers name was Australia and all the foals names were austrialian cities) Saints Day(we bought him on All Saints Day) Trigger(hes a mounted police horse that I train)

I have 2 beautiful dogs right now, they are half Alaskan Malimute, and half Pit Bull. Great dogs. But anyways, I will tell you there names are " Atrus(the brother) & Kat'ran( the sister)." My husband is kinda a book nerd. So he wanted me to read a 3 part book called "MYST" and I loved it. So that is where I got their names from. As for "dog" my husband normally calls all dogs byt dog and all cats by cat. I dunno.

My dog got his name from his coat. he looks like a tiger kind of so we named him "Saber" like saber tooth tiger. there are pics of him in my photos.

I named my dog Finn because i liked the name i was having trouble choosing a name but searched some online and Finn was what i ended up with as i think it suits him. Our other dog is named Gloria, a name that i do not like, but we have only had her two weeks so we shorten it to Glory. The name does not suit her at all so we are seriously thinking of changing it. Then we have our two cats, Kovue who my daughter named, its after a lion in the Lion King. Then there is Storm who i named because she has the same colour eyes as Storm from X-men. My partner named my two hamsters Starsky and Hutch after the T V show.

i get my pet's name from the animes because i do love anime or sometimes i would just name them something that really suits for them

our dog's name is fluffy 'coz she's got such fluffy hair. her dad's name is choco due to his color. to be honest, we're not that imaginative when naming our pets. the name of our first ever dog is whitey (yeah it's because her color's white). unfortunately, she has passed on.

My Dog's name is SanSan - i got her from a lady named sandra. I love sansan so much that i cried so hard when i left her in the philippines. Mom said that sansan never leaves the gate, she just sit there all day sniffing the air waiting for me to come home. At the end of the day she goes inside the house with a dropping head and sad eyes and goes straight under the bed. We also have a dog named after a famous Filipino Singer - Martin Nievera. hehehehe., and a dog named Hitler and Mac Mac. My Brother though like to name all his cats SUNSHINE no matter the gender..he calls them all sunshine. :)
