How did you choose your pet's name?

Mine are picked different ways. Like Jill was a litter of 2 pups. The guy buying the male from me planed to call him Jack. So while they were both still on mom we had Jack and Jill.

Our collie's name was picked by my children. The his name means, "My friend."

I did it the easy way: I bought horses :-) They come with names. If the horse is registered you can't change the name, you can only add to it. I have not considered breeding horses so I won't have to think about picking a name for a while yet

i let the pets character traits guide me to choosing a name , basically they name themselves. Ive had pets named Luci (short for lucifer) , Ozzy, Pepper, Gargoyle.

My last dog's name was Neko and I just found it funny because he was a dog and the word means half man/half cat. He was a tan little chihuahua. My dogs now are a Boston terrier named Jasper and a chiweenie named Boots. Jasper I just put a poll out to my friends with like 4 names and that is the one that stuck. With Boots I came up with the name before I even saw her and when my brother brought her to me I asked what the previous people had named her (because she was several weeks old now and they had planned on originally keeping her) and he said they had named her Boots because of her fur on her feet looking like little brown boots. So that was just meant to be her name.

I can't remember.

We chose by random. Whatever comes first to our minds.
