Does anybody you know have pets with clever names?

[ironflange]

I know a beagle named Darwin. Also a cat named Q-Tip; she's all dark grey except for a white tip to her tail.

1. My cats are named Pickles and Pretzel. But who knew when we

named them ten years ago that we would one day have a first couple named the same? *l*

3. That's pretty weird

8. Well it is now, but at the time it made sense. Their mommy

was named Pepper, and we felt we should continue the P food naming trend. *g*

[Skittles]

2. I once had a newt named Isaac Newt

:D

[hangemhigh]

4. Cat Name is....

Hilton. From the hotel where I was lucky to have rescued her.

[Pirate Smile]

5. My dog's name is Crash. He ran across the street and I slammed

on the brakes but didn't stop in time. No one claimed him so I adopted him and paid to have the two broken bones in each of his right legs fixed (4 breaks).

He is a basset hound and his middle name is speed bump.

6. I named my cat Spock

Not clever, but it fits his personality.

[Dookus]

my pets are:

three cats: Punk, Rudy & Molly
dog: Tucker (but I've taken to calling him Bubba)
tortoise: Rosebud

In high school, I knew a guy who named his dog "Tits"

10. We had a neighbor who named his cat "Doody" and a friend who

named her dog "Poop".

What is up with that?!

[HEyHEY]

7. I knew someone with a Cat named "Woof"

[spotbird]

9. My dog is named Fido

is that original?

[tuvor]

11. Maybe if you spelled it 'Phydeaux'? n/t

[jdots]

12. i had a cat named Herman Sperman

he broke a tooth once when he jumped on a rock trying to do kitty sex with it,he sprayed everthing,hub caps people's legs.He enjoyed swimming and ate oranges.God i miss him .

[ironflange]

13. A couple more

The people down the way had two great big fuzzy cats, one black, one grey. Black Cat and Grey Cat. Later they got a Manx (crazy, weird cat) that they named Detail.

Another neighbor had a pug named Snorky. Remember the Banana Splits?

[tuvor]

14. Not that clever, but my pets with more unusual names are

Creep, a cat
Creep II, a cat
Speck, a black pug (named for Pee-Wee Herman's dog)

I wanted a female dog and to call her Stella, but I've since come across two or three others who had the same damn idea. So I guess it's not that clever.

15. Not "clever" but unusual.

Our Husky/Malamute mix is named Alinak, goes by Al though

[The empressof all]

16. My next two cats

Will be black and called

Paren & Thesis

[CO Liberal]

19. You mean EINSTEIN isn't the best?

20. My min pin is called "Slicker" he was a stray for 8 months and

nobody, not even Animal Control with nets and traps, could catch him!
Two years ago right now, it was getting cold and I saw him limping and decided it was time to do something. He was trailing behing my mother and our two chihuahuas, so I figured he might be ready for a home.
So I sat in the garage for about two weeks, putting food out and moving it closer and closer to where I sat, and I finally grabbed him.

Then, I couldn't figure out a name (after we decided no one would take as good care as I would)....got him to the vet, neutered, etc. A few names changes later...(Topo, Max)....I decided he was just a "city slicker" since he was so beautifully black and rust...so sleek and hard to catch....and that's how he became "SLICKER"---("Slick" for short, "Slickie" just because I feel like it sometimes)

21. My cat is named Oops

When he was a baby, he fell off our (very high) deck - twice. He's very beautiful and a great hunter but the name still fits. He's agile enough but just tends to get into trouble. He'll jump on the coffee table and slide on the placemat and he and it will go sailing off again - very funny. Or he'll sit on the answering machine and it will say over and over again, "hello, please leave a message after the tone" while he looks around trying to figure out where it came from.

22. My pets have weird names. So do my kids.

Cats:
Fenris (I know; Fenris should be a dog)
Echo
Bast
Om
Ut (RIP, buddy) :cry:

Kids:
Loki
Griffin
Rowan
Kaia

Our 2 dogs have oddly typical names. :)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

32. I can't believe you named your kid Loki.

To each his own I suppose. I do like Griffin, though. And I can't see Rowan without thinking of Mr. Bean, whom I hate.

23. One of our rescues

Was aptly, if not cleverly named. We found her chained to a fence with no shelter, food or water. She was being bred for profit. She wasn't taken care of , so the pups died. So, they abandoned her. Left her chained and emaciated. Animal Control did nothing. A vet called me about her. One day from death, I met her, and I fucking stole her that afternoon. Cut her chain, and took her. Her sister was on a 2 foot (no lie) leash, tied to the carport. No food, water, blanket, etc. I fucking took her too. I'd do it again, and probably will. I have a $20 watch, but the best boltcutters money can buy. Priorities.

Today, her name is Freedom. Clever, eh?

BTW, according to Ashcroft, I'm a bloody terrorist.

24. My male dog is named Buddy. Female is named Holley. n/t

25. Awww *l*

26. I once lived in a grad student household with a cat named

MagnifiCat. You could tell people's religious backgrounds by how they reacted to the name.

Catholics and Episcopalians and some Lutherans laughed. Adherents of other religions and atheists looked puzzled.

[kermujin]

27. i had a magnificat, too...

well, my roommate did. and later i got cat-astrophe.

my dogs are now jerzy (named, convolutedly, for jerzy kosinski, by way of chance/chauncy gardener of 'being there') and trooper, whom i did NOT name.

my cats were little bones (rip) and scruff (still terrorizing the household after 13 years). scruff was officially named 'scruffy' because she's a long haired black cat who couldn't groom herself if all nine lives depended on it; hence, she tends to look rather ... scruffy. as in, 'i just came off a three-day bender' scruffy...

and we had a hamster named fred ... who went on to bear 19 children. go figure.

[chaska]

28. I had a cat named 'Algeber' once. After the mule in the Little Rascals.

[Tikki]

29. Ticonderoga.......

We called him Ticon for short.

[ironflange]

30. Not strange, but funny

The guy two houses down has a rat terrier named Jack. Unfortunately, that's also my name, and I'm getting tired of getting yelled at from over there. "Jack, don't poop on the lawn!"

It gets worse. They also have a big furry cat named Bob. Guess what his next-door neighbor's name is?

[Jean Louise Finch]

31. I know a stripey tiger cat

who is named Richard Parker.

Which helps very much to identify those among us who have read the book.

[Endangered Specie]

33. Bitch and Pussy, dog and cat respectively.

(JK!) ;)
