How U Name Ur Pet?

We have to get to know our new pets for a day or two. We’ve had Farfel, Lucky, Chester, Cyrus the Great, Tazi, Oodie, S. Milton Cats, Pooka, Kuma, Tiger, and Doodles. Some came from TV or movie characters, others from foreign words, and others we just made up.

I had a dog named Taxi once.

My dogs right now are named after cartoon characters. The goats names all rhyme. The horses and cats names are all over the place. But sometimes a name just fits and you know it.

The pet that I had in my childhood were two dogs, few cows , two rabbits and a parrot. They were called Tony and Jake ( dogs). My grandfather named them. I called my cows as Kaali, Laali and Suhaani ( based on their colors) , my rabbits were called Champak and Nandan( my favortie childhood magazines) and parrot was named Tulsi by my grandmother. Maybe because he could chant all mantras like Tulsidas After marriage I had a dog for 17 long years. It was named Topaz because of it's shiny golden fur resembling topaz stone.

The name of my father's dog now based on our past two President...

I have never made a petty before, the dog I had came with a name

My dog's name is Viking. She's small so the name doesn't really fit but it was a name my son thought of and my daughter agreed on. It was better then other names they suggested so I let them name her that. She is 2 now.

I just liked the name.

I named my dog a long time ago..I no longer have it..it got run over by a train. It was called Beauty.

I named my black cat Blackie because he is really black. I named my other cat Buttercup because he was the color of butter a yellow color when we first brought him home. Now he is more white with stripes.

@Butterfingers I like to know things like this too. My cat was given to me so she was already named. I'm not completely sure what I would have named her otherwise.

@Butterfingers I have always had a hard time naming my pets. I dog I named Carli but not after Carly Simon. Every winter I would be cold and in Hebrew the word for me being cold is Carli so I decided to name my dog that. My cat was named by someone else. My Sophie came to me with a weird name and so had to change it. I felt she looks exactly like a Sophie would look like so I changed her name to Sophie.

I once had a very particular cat and I called him Crumbs because he ate all the crumbs he found.

Our dog Gizmo came with his name already since we adopted him from a family that couldn't keep him. Our other little dog is a rescue and she loves to be cuddled and snuggled so she was named Mush

I named our dog Angus as it fitted to his breed which was Cavalier King Charles spaniel dog and I loved Scottish name.
