Pet names for pets!

Let's see... My cats: Sunshine, Eclipse, Comet, Cosmo, Orbit, Zeniah, Keenan, Jupiter and Venus Nicknames: Poppa Sun or Shine, Daniel Craig (because he's a tough cat, Comet is known as Oming, Cosmo as Otchmo, Zeniah as Ayah, while Venus, Jupiter and Keenan don't have a nickname. Sunshine was tagged as Poppa because he was the only man in the house. Comet got his nick name because if you call his name he always answers. He meows. Cosmo got hers because the vet mispronounced her name. Zeniah, well, Aya sounds shorter, so there you go. My dogs: Roxy, Amber, Pepper, Boo and PJ

[b] Love that name! This topic isn't new, but I always enjoy it. Currently I have one cat. Originally she was a stray, & the complex where I am forbids us from having a pet unless we pay $300 each for them! I find that outrageously expensive, & didn't have the money to adopt a pet anyhow. But then along "Minnie the Moocher," a cat I named after the Cab Calloway jazz tune, because she was mooching off several complex people. I was among them. One night it was very cold or stormy, & I heard her begging to be let in. The rule is, had I been caught, I could have been evicted with no notice. That's never stopped me from protecting an animal. "Minnie" was so well-behaved I didn't have to worry that she'd mess up the apartment, but the longer I kept breaking the rules, the higher the odds against me rose. Finally a doctor signed a note asking the complex to forgo the pet fee, as he thought I "needed a companion animal for my psychological help." Who knows? Maybe I do! In any case, they bought it, & waived the fee! Yayyy! To celebrate I renamed her "Miss Miniver Whitecheek (see her photos in my pictures)," & she's been with me ever since. But I still just call her "Minnie." Maggiepie IMPEACH HIM![/b]

Ping-a-ling and his brother Pong-a-long Scamp has a lot of them - Sir Scamp-a-lot, Scaredy Scamp, and, obviously, Scamper. Taj is an abbreviated version of his name anyway, but then we expand it to Taj-a-ma-zoo. Timus is as often called Timie (and its not said Tim-us', its said Ti'-mus so the nickname is said Ti'-mee)

We have a lot of dogs. And because my Mom is into Math, their names are expectedly related to Math. One was named Asymptote which is something that we find in a graph that determines or defines, and the other one is called Iso for the isosceles triangle. Over the year, however, there had been an evolution of the names. The ones that came in later were not math things anymore, but are still carefully though of. One was named by our Mom as Matter because when matter was a puppy his color was gray and associated the dog with the gray matter found in our brain. But as the puppy grew older, he turned brown, that's why the name became just Matter because the gray color already disappered. And the other one was named Black Magic because his color was very shiny black all over. And since we already dropped Matter's Gray name, we have decided to drop the Black of Magic's name. Thus the names Matter and Magic. :)

Hi MJay101, Angus Fangus McWangus love it. Great name for your cat. Only one tooth the poor thing. We have 5 cats and 2 dogs. The cats are Oscar, Wilde, Ozzy, Tim and Daisy. The dogs are called Amber and Zakk. The only one that really has a nick is Ozzy who we usually just call Oz or Ozzits lol.

i pick pet names based on their personality as well as what their face looks like.

We took in a stray cat who was quite old we had him for a couple of years. My son was 2 at the time and called him kitty kitty and the cat would go to him so we thought it would just be simple to call him kitty kitty so the baby could call him too. The cat loved people hated our dot.

We have two dogs, a two year old male named Krypto, and a four month old female name Biscuit. We have two stray cats that adopted us when they were kittens, mom just abandoned them, and their names are Bandit, and Sandunes. Bandit had a sister Smokey, but we were able to find her a home.

My cat's name is Paizly. Sometimes I'll call her "Paizly wayzlee" The foster cat's name is Lily. Sometimes I'll call her "Silly Lily" I will also call both cats (and any other cat, for that matter!) "Kitty widdy"
