I though I was all cool giving my pets old people names (Mabel, Frank and Albert) but now I realize i'm the opposite.

My schnauzers were originally Fancy and Rudy, but because of their German heritage I called them Klink and Schultz

I named my cat Jade because I am one of the biggest fans ever of the video game "Beyond Good and Evil". There is no other significance to the name beyond that.

I always subscribe to the theory you should pick a name that has an easy/recognizable pair in case you get another pet. For example: My dog is Linus and if we ever get another, it'll be a female named Lucy. Also, here's a host of poorly chosen dog names for good dogs (stolen from the Post Dogges thread). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Db6JZHh0SA

We usually name strays based on the street or area they were picked up, which is all nice and good when they get called Cooper and Duncan, but funnier when they're called Freeway or Dump.

We have 5 cats: 1) Joey: We saw him when he was 8 weeks old at the shelter and he latched on me immediately. He is my boy  His name was "Eyebrow" at the shelter. My husband and I thought it was a ridiculous name, and sounded like a mobster. My husband said he needed to have a name that fit the mobster motif... so we named him Joey "The Eyebrow" Lorenzo. funny thing is, he grew into a big hulking monster of a cat, and LOVES Italian food. Go figure! (3 years old.)2) Kiki: She was at the same shelter we got Joey at, and we brought them home the same day. She bonded with my husband as soon as they met... we were not leaving without her She sings. A lot. All the time. Very slender ladycat, and is quite nimble. There was a singer named Kiki I guess in the UK that my husband adored as a younger man...and so Kiki the Acrocat got her name. (3 years old)3) Finbarr: He is another shelter kitty, looks like he is a good bit Maine Coon or a very hairy domestic longhair breed. He has the big feet, and tufts etc...so we are thinking he may be more of a Coon Mix than anything else. Because of this we thought he needed a better name than Claude (I hated that shelter name ). So, he got the Scandinavian name of Finbarr. However, he answers to the name of Babycat too (11 months old)4) Pixie: A Pixie Bob. She was a birthday present for me when she was 3 months old and we named her Elise. However, we ended up just calling her Pixie, then Pix. She is also know as the Queen of Grump, and Lady Bitchalot :Keeper of the Iron Paw (11 years old) 5) Newton: A fat orange and white behemoth of a cat. We knew he was a Newton when we first saw him...it just fit perfectly. Also, we can make fun of him by poking his belly and calling him names like Pig Newton, Gravity Challenged Cat, and Captain Major Chunks the First of his Name.

My first dog was named Miss Blueberry. I got her as a pup from my brother when his female Lab had a litter and my nieces named all the pups. When I registered her I kept the full name, however I shortened it to Blue, as wandering through the dog park calling 'Come hither Miss Blueberry' seemed a little offside. My wife and I got another black lab about 3 years back and it seemed fitting to stick with the name thing, so now we had Miss Redberry (who in all honesty goes by Red). About 3 weeks ago we found an abandoned kitten in a dumpster and my wife brought it home. He was pretty small (the vet figured about 4-5 weeks old). He got named Pitou Vert Baie (French Acadian slang for Dog Green Berry).

I've only named one of my pets myself. I've got a massive goldfish named Fimmion, after a character from Elder Scrolls who is always hungry and trades his magic pants for sweet rolls. It's pretty fitting, since he's always begging for me to feed him. I also have a cat named CeCe Princess Fluffytail Furpaws Moomoo Monchego Sanderson which was named by my ex who thought that the longer a pet's name, the more ~*purebred and fancy*~ it is. My boyfriend named my Albino plecostomus ("sucker fish") Courtney Love, which I find hilarious especially considering it's a male.

When we fostered kittens we went with bullshit names of whatever popped into our head re: their defining characteristics. As a result we had: - Chosen (because he was on hold) - Xbox (white with brown patches shaped like a triangle and X) - Chuck (he spewed in the car - or so we thought) - Greybeard (black with a white tuft under his chin - also the actual spewer which he repeated on the way back to the shelter) - Decoy Junior (kitten version of our black cat) - Hoagie (chubby, fat little longhaired kitten, 100% focused on food and Hoagie just stuck) - Whiskey Tango (rear end in a top hat horrible kitten that was not part of the litter and picked fights and was scrawny with hosed whiskers from a nutrient deficiency and a bad attitude) - Boston (Ginger cat with socks - Red Sox) - Button (kept calling her a cute wee button and Button stuck)

so this kitten just *showed up* in my yard one night. Tiny, tiny, tiny. Guessed she was just weaned and abandoned by Mama, or ??? She imprinted on me instantly. SUper friendly to people whether she knows them or not. She has a multicolored head and an all-white body with a single round black spot on her left side. We call her "Spot." Spot had a kitten b/c I didn't realize cattes were sexually mature at ~ 6 months old. Oops! New kitten is a biter, but also quite friendly, tho not as friendly as Spot. Coloring is black and white and an all-white body with two black spots on her side. We call her "Domino."

My snake and gecko are named after Capcom games that I don't even like because my housemate insisted on that being the naming convention for them, so they are called Mega Man 2 and Resident Evil 4. Meg and Resi for short.

Our current foster kittens are Brady, Indiana (she came prenamed and is already in the system), and then the group we got together: Littlefinger, Varys, Ygritte, Crow, and Raven. The last three are all fluffy black nutballs. Our snakes are Luna, Nod, Nemesis, Wasp, Bee, Drac, Topaz, V, Weapon Brown, Peppermint Patty, Tuco, Saul Goodman, Heseinberg, Pinkman, and Jane. Do you really want me to list off the tortoises? Fine, just the adult leopards: Jamoca, Chip, 25, Chewy, Zaire, Portal (came from Portal AZ, NOT after the videogame) and our Russian Oval. If you want the adult cats it'll take me a while.

I was the main caretaker for a husky mix for a couple years. Her name was Nakoma... but I mostly called her "sweetheart" and "fluffbutt". All my friends' pets have people names; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I think Pajamas would be a fine name for a cat. I like the names Toast, Hugo, and Clio for dogs. If I had rats, I would get four lady rats and name them after lady detectives: Tuppence, Tuesday, Trixie, and Theolinda. (I currently have a large ginger cat named Kismet and a corgi named Ivan.)

I'm all for people names in theory, but they always devolve into silly, childish nicknames. For example, my cat is named Percy, but more often we just call him You Disgusting Sack of poo poo.

Although actually if you research former rulers of Eastern European countries you'll find a pet-name goldmine. The first king of Latvia was named Mindaugas, and it only gets more majestic from there.

When I first brought my kitten home, I had wanted to name him Icarus. He immediately crawled into my black (he's a black cat) messenger bag and passed out. My room mates and I tore the house apart looking for him. Ended up finding him on accident when I went to grab my lap top out of said bag. Decided it would be best to name him after a magician for his disappearing act. He became David "Icarus" Blaine, but I just call him Dib.

My sister took in a ginger kitten in 2001 or so and named him Icarus. She went to get him neutered and it turned out he was a she, so she's gone by Icky ever since. She was also always kinda poo poo at cleaning herself. She lives with our parents these days and apparently is better at self grooming these days but is also very expensive and has thyroid problems. Other pets names in the family: Sandwich the turtle Karl Barx the collie/Springer spaniel mix MacDuff the west highland terrier Fluffy Bum the cat
