My son had a fish named Luke Skywalker once. My other child had a blue parakeet named Neptune who was really as blue as the planet Neptune. I had a dog who was part toy poodle and part dalmation. His name was Poo-Dee. What kind of creative name have you named your dog?

CHIKA-RIN-RIN-FU was the Japanese word that this female I knew who couldnt pronounce Japanese well, it came out as this nickname...so it stuck after that.

my boxers had puppies and we were allowed to keep one. she was this gorgeous female but we couldnt find a name to suit her. they say that if you start calling out a bunch of names pick the one they respond to. she responded to nacho. lol.

That's cute. Yes I heard that you can do that. It is true...it's like the animal is choosing their own name or knows it already and is telling you what it is!

My daughter had a dog a few years ago and when he was a puppy she named him piglet. When we asked her why she said he looked like a baby pig.

The name of my pet is Chichi. There is no specific reason for that,but,one of my friend own a pony,which is always in a tendency to jump. It never stops its movements. So,my friend had named it Moonwalker,because she thinks,that the pony jumps like a person waking on the surface of the moon.
