How did you come up with a name for your Pet

[Bluesdog]

When our Adult son came upon hard times which called for a change in accomadation, (relationship break up) he dropped his 6 month old Dog here for a while, (until he is settled) anyway after a month of calling it "Dog" and seeing as our son has now moved quite a distance away and is sharing, it appears we now have a new Dog.

So we decides to give him a name we could live with (rather than "Dog") and as we decided a re-run of "Frasier" was on the idiot box and the dog on it is called "Eddie"

Ok, so our sons Dog is a Staffy and is white with brown ears , basiclly a bigger version of Eddie.

So as we were talking TV, we came ot Eddie Munster ( the Munsters Kid) and the other similar show was the Addams Family and their Kid was "Pugsley"

hence , the dogs new Name Pugsley, suits him.

My parents wanted to call our cat 'Minoe', which is probably THE most cliche name you can give a cat, so I changed it to Noet, the egyptian goddess.

How is that a cliche? *seems to be missing something*
My cat's name is Tony (Antony) because he at one time lived with a cat named Cleopatra . . . one of me mum's scotties is named Judy after a Judy in the scotty group she's a part of.

pretty sure minoe is a type of fish, so yes it is kinda cliche to name a cat after a breed of fish...

He's cool!! His coloring is very similar to my American Bulldog!!

All 4 of our dogs were named but have since developed nicknames that they now go by exclusively. They're lazy good for nuthin's

It is here, it's like calling your dog Max or your cat Felix.

Our dog came with her name when we picked her up from the pound. Her name is Maddie btw.

My dog, which is part weenie dog and part cocker spaniel (?) had the body of a weenie dog - long. When he would walk around and turn corners he just reminded me of how a semi truck looks...so his name is "Semi".

My dog's name is Zootz. It rolled off the tongue nicely.

I named my Great Dane "The Judge" but now he goes by Judge. I've had him for 5 years. I named him that because hes HUGE, and literally dwarfs every other dog he stands next to.

Got two cats right around the time I was deep into Rufus' greatest hits... so they're named Rufus & Chaka..

 

[IAmTheDood]

lately since having kids pets have been having cartoon names ...

1 cat = Moufassa.
latest cat = Nala.
Boxer dog = Scooby.
Yellow Lab = Butter.

we only have Nala in the house now. sold Butter, gave Scooby away since we couldn't take care of him with just me and my daughter .. Moufassa ex wife made us give away cuz she didn't like him. ugh.

I've got a question for you guys. My parents are about to get a new cat and my father wants to name it Gibson. He's pretty stuck on that name, but I'm protesting because he once had a cat named Gibson who was killed by a car. I think it's kind of morbid to name the new cat Gibson, but he really likes the name.

What do you guys think?

 

[Matthew Bryson]

I would never name a cat Gibson - I'd name it Fender, or maybe Leo... my guitar player would probably name a cat Gibson, though. He likes Les Pauls.

We had our sons, 4 & 7 at the time, name our Jack Rat terrier, (it's a newly recognized breed Jack Russell/Rat Terrier cross) and surprise! They named him "Jack", hahaha

 

[funkybassplayer]

well my last dog joined the family when i was going through a huge Tower of Power kick and i named her Rocco Garibaldi, after, IMHO, one of the strongest rythem sections ever

We have two cats:

Jack - After the song "Jack the lion" by Harvey Danger
Skip - As a kitten, every time he ran it looked like he was skipping everywhere.

My brother wanted a malamute for a long time now. He saw the movie Snow Dogs, and at the end of the movie, a slew of puppies come stumbling through a doggy door. The very first pup was named Avalanche, and he said immediately, "Whenever I get a Mal, he'll be named Avalanche. No second thoughts about it."

So when he got cancer, my family told him we'd get him a malamute if he beats it. Well.... here's Avalanche!

That is avery nice malamute man.

My dog is a Chocolate lab mixed with some of Auburn's (my hometown) finest. His name is Rocky. I dont have any pictures of Rocky since my digital camera broke.

My cat's name is King Tubby. I was high, and listening to reggae when I named him. So it goes.

I should have called him Morrissey. All he does is whine...
