What are your pets names?

[Mesa]

Or should that read "What are your pets named?" oops.
I'm just curious.... and my sister just called and asked if we want a kitty. If my dh says it's ok we will have a new family member. Although the idea of a kitty litter box isn't appealing...hmm. Decisions, decisions.

So I may need pet name ideas lol.

[riada]

We have a sadie (dog) and hank and rosie (goats)

Enjoy your new kitty and good luck finding a name for it. It can be hard to do!

[Adrianne]

Our dog is Simon
The cat is Henry.
Our first roosters were Chanticleer and Charlie. (they have since both past on)

We spent lots of family time debating these names. Have fun!

[Pensguys]

We have 2 cats (Jack and Cheerio aka Chico). We had Jazz, Toby, and Fluff (cats).

We always wait to see their personalities before naming them.

[Mesa]

Hank, aww I love that name! Perfect for a goat or dog! Cute I love those names. I think the cat is supposed to be a girl but I'm not sure. The one cat we have now is named Sally and it turned out to be a boy! ROFL I told dh it doesn't matter Sally is a boy because he's neutered... so really, he's kinda an "it".

[Vicki]

We have 3 dogs: Abbey, Bella, and Cammie. We also have a new sugar glider that we are trying to find the perfect name for. Have fun with your new kitty.
God bless,
Vicki

[3lilreds in NC]

Cats: Twink, Dory, Miranda and Simon
Dog: Toby

Other cats we've had: Jasper, Sophia, Sammy, Gabriel, Galadriel, Milo

Twink, Miranda, Simon and Toby all came with their names. I wanted to change Twink to Dagonet, but Twink was so fitting, that after we got him I just left it.

I think Miranda is a silly, too-long name for a cat but she's *such* a queen, it fits, and I can't figure out how to shorten it, we usually call her by her name.

[Danestress]

Previous dog: Nell

My sister is a cat person. She names her cats such winners as "new kitty" and "grey kitty."

[Kate CA]

Pippin is our black kitty and Annie is our Dachshund.

I've had dogs named Skipper, Pokey (short for Pocono Rob), and Little Bear, and cats named Eleanor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Rigby), Finnegan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnegan%27s_Wake), and Oliver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Twist). I've also lived with friends' cats named Bobo, Iman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iman_%28model%29), and Abigail, and the owners of our (two-family) house have a cat named Hokio (http://mi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokio_Beach) and a dog named Kia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_ora).

We have a very round [ok fat] cat and she was born on Halloween and we got her on Thanksgiving so we named her Pumpkin. She isn't orange though. That would have been too funny. :D

[Just Me]

Rabbit - Buster
Hermit Crab - goliath
Parakeet - Killer

Must I go on? :blink: The names aren't creative, but when I list all the animals we have, my mind kind of does funny things.

[Paula in PA]

The one cat we have now is named Sally and it turned out to be a boy! ROFL I told dh it doesn't matter Sally is a boy because he's neutered... so really, he's kinda an "it".

When I was 10, we got a 'male' Siamese cat and named it Sam. Turned out it was a Samantha. I got my first kitten from her, named Chips. :D

Now we have a dog, Cocoa, and cats: Mittens, Copper, Patches, Mooch, and Sable & Midnite (sisters). Mostly they're named for color or pattern, except Mooch. :001_smile:

We also have 6 fire belly toads named after various Star Wars characters...

We have a dog named Bingo (the boy across the street found him as a stray and had already named him when we decided to keep him. We didn't have the heart to change the name)
We have a cat named Sassy and it fits her well.
DD has a fish named Sam.

[paula j]

We have two scotties, Cocoa and Biscotti and a collie named Cody. We used to have a kitten named Fru Fru which was something dd picked up in French class. We also used to have a kitty named Furface.

[mom2att]

We have a cat named No-no. He showed up in our backyard when our youngest was one and just starting to talk. Every time the kitty was around, little ds heard "No no, don't touch the kitty," or "No no, don't pull kitty's tail," etc. Wasn't long before ds starting saying "No no!" whenever he saw the kitty.

Of course when we decided the kitty should become a permanent part of our family, we didn't dream of naming him anything else . . . No-no it is!

[Gamom3]

Phoebe didn't get her name until she was 6months old, so while dh was trying to think of a name we called her dog. She knows she is in trouble when we say DOG. We have had Ruffy(dog), Maggie(dog), Rizzie(dog), Smeag(cat), and Sweetie(dog).

[JenneinAZ]

Well, we pet sat for the neighbor a week ago... does that count?

Her cats are Xena and Seles and the dog is Prada. The cats are long haired somethings and the dog is a chihuahua.

The kids' webkinz cats are:

Wishing Star and Penny, a tiger and alley cat, belongs to dd9

[Ellie]

are dk (dear kitties) Loveday and Minette, and dp (dear pup) Wrolf, all named after characters in a favorite book.

Past critters have been dk Hobbes, Sam, Wolfgang, Arlene, and Striper. (There were two neighborhood dk we fed; we called them Butler and Gideon.) We've only had 2 dp: Leia (she was born not long after Star Wars first came out) and Sheri.

I decided not to name the hermit crabs, as they all look alike to me:D

We also wait a while before we name our pets. Wrolf was several different names for about a week before I knew he was Wrolf.

[Donna T.]

We have a dog named Faith, a cat named Scruffy and a new kitten named Poppy. I just put Poppy's pix on my blog. We just got her last week. She is so precious. Totally worth the kitty litter!

[Parabola]

We have a chihuahua named Shadow because he follows me everywhere, and he's black. We have a betta fish named Odysseus which we got last fall when we were reading The Odyssey. We have two baby box turtles which my children named Rocket and Singalong. We have two tadpoles named Hornet and Jaguar, actually one of them recently passed and I don't know which is which.
I grew up on a farm, with all kinds of animals including two horses named Nutmeg and Ginger, and a rooster who my very mild mannered non-cursing mom christened D*mn You because he attacked everytime she went in to gather eggs.

[Pam "SFSOM" in TN]

Hank, aww I love that name! Perfect for a goat or dog! Cute I love those names. I think the cat is supposed to be a girl but I'm not sure. The one cat we have now is named Sally and it turned out to be a boy! ROFL I told dh it doesn't matter Sally is a boy because he's neutered... so really, he's kinda an "it".

I got a kitten I thought was a girl (oh about 20 years ago) and I named her Simone. Well, it turns out I was wrong, she was a he. I still called him Simone. When I met dh, he refused to call a gigantic male cat Simone, so we started calling him Simon. Simon never liked dh. I wonder if is has anything to do with changing his name. :glare: DH says Simon didn't like anyone and that his lousy disposition was due to the fact that he was called a girl's name for so long. :001_huh:

[newbie]

I was outvoted.

[homeschoolmom]

Without disclosing too much on a public forum....our kitties are named after Neil Gaiman's 'the Endless' - it's a 'Sandman' (Vertigo comics) thing. So far we've had Destiny, Delirium-who-was-once-delight, Death and we're looking to adopt Dream.

They are not actually named those names but rather synonyms or suggestive of those names if that makes sense. Death would be a bit much to name a kitty even for a goth turned suburban mom like myself. ;)

Anyways, what great name ideas! Dh and I keep talking about getting a cat. I think it's either a new kitty or some chickens lol. I really want some laying hens.... maybe dh will agree to some sort of pet before the week is over!

[Mrs Mungo]

Our dog is named Dublin but he's a shelter dog and came with that name.

My first dog as a kid was named Frodo and our second dog was named Penny Candy.

We had hamsters named Bud and Dude.

We got a hamster when my eldest was around 3 and she named him Max.

[Rose in BC]

Watson came to us with her name. She was five when we adopted her. She is most definitely female so I have no idea why she was named Watson -- maybe the previous owners had an affinity for detectives? My son nicked named her Bob -- Bob is my son's best friend. It will be very sad when she dies and given that she's almost 14 we know that could happen at any time.

Our Ruby girl also came pre-named. She was one when we adopted her. I didn't really care for the name at first but now she's our Ruby-Mae.

[Fourmother]

Dog: Oz

Cat: Willow (She lives with ds21 now.)

Goldfish: Fissle and Gissle

Frog: Calvin

Composting Red Worms: nameless peons

[Mamagistra]

We once adopted a teeny-weeny feral kitten from a litter that was rescued from a field near dee-aitch's work. I had to hand-feed this sweet little helpless thing with a dropper...took her to the office with me every day, I did.

She quickly turned into psychocat! Sure, she'd play and snuggle and purr, but mostly she was nuts! She bounced off walls. She climbed anything: screen doors, pants legs, sleeping heads. :eek:

We dubbed her Lucy...Lucy Furr. ;)

Or should that read "What are your pets named?" oops.
I'm just curious.... and my sister just called and asked if we want a kitty. If my dh says it's ok we will have a new family member. Although the idea of a kitty litter box isn't appealing...hmm. Decisions, decisions.

So I may need pet name ideas lol.

[ereks mom]

Stella. Stella was already named when we got him. Yes, him. Apparently the precious owners didn't know Stella was male. :lol:

[happyWImom]

Our dog is Penny, our cat is Max. The cats I had before kids were Theo & Molly and were my kids, especially Theo. Before my son was born (about 3 years after Theo died) we were trying to come up with a meaningful boy name, and I REALLY wanted the name Theo. I said I liked the name a lot, it was different, and it would really have meaning. My husband would not agree. He didn't love Theo like I did.

[swellmomma]

Our kitty was named CHeezie Whiz when we got her but we just call her Cheezie. ANd for good reason, never ever leave cheese whiz toast on the table without supervision, she will lick all your cheese off. She is a very independant 2 year old kitty now, and the kids pretty much leave her be, unlike pets we have had in the past. Oh and ds has named one of out 9 tadpoles Balloon breathe because he is the fattest one.

Previous pets who have gone on to the rainbow bridge or to a new family:
Mitchie (cat)
Kit Kat (cat) we gave him to a new family as a kitten, he was a mean one
Muffin & Scooby our male guinea pigs
Princess & Squeeker our female guinea pigs
Hammy & Vampira(she bit me so hard the day we got her) our hamsters
2 budgies that we only had for a week before ds set them free out the window, don't remember their names now
Trix the bunny went to a new family
Roger the Siamese fighting fish (of course that was around the time ds wanted to name baby brother to be floppy)

[Michelle in GA]

Two pugs: Taffy and Baby

[Julie in WA]

We got our first pet this past February...:hurray: He's so adorable and is as soft as a rabbit! His name is Toby and he's a Havanese and was born on Christmas day last year.

[dragons in the flower bed]

Our Australian Shepherd is Starry Night.

Our current cats are two gray striped tabbies that go by Thunder and Lightning, Sparky who is spotted like a dalmation, and one tubby black kitten whose name has not yet occurred to us. I'll take suggestions.
