What did you name your pet and why?

I getting a little white chihuahua that I want to name Lexus. I saw a picture of her and the name suits her.

We've had quite a few names going on around here. My Rainbow Angels, Divot and Baffy, were named by their first Dad who was a golf pro. A Baff is an obsolete golf club shaped like a slotted spoon used to scoop balls out of carriage ruts. Peaches, already named, came from Georgia, so that seemed right. Josie, named for her coat of many colors, is a calico. Arthur came with the name R-2; he is a prince, so Arthur suited him. Paisley is another calico whose name suits her. My first cat was named by my daughters, Patches; it was either that or Sunshine. Another Rainbow Angel was a black green-eyed Turkish Angora who was Claire, or Lady Claire; she was both regal and very sweet.

Well I named my guinea pig Tsukasa which is the name of a character in a Japanese Manga. I really like the name and it has grown on him. I don't think I would change it at all. Algebra is a pretty name.

i adopted my cat last december and he already had a name Gumby. so since he is 8 years old, i didnt want to confuse him and change his name. so i added a middle name--D'Arcy. my late pets all had middle names as well. my 3 late shihtzus were also adopted, and my late cat, my mother named her.

I called my dog Noble.. coz he came to our house at the night of christmas. he is a smart dog I've ever had.

I called my Orange cat Garfield.He's fat and huge.Yet,he's still cute.

I always try to think of something original. Some examples are: PITA - Pain In The A**, E.T. - First and last letter of Empty Nest, NAC - Not Another Cat. It's fun to come up with something that no one else has thought of it. I don't know about you but I usually end up calling them some other nickname anyway.
