How did you name your pet?

[Dogz]

I was just wondering how you named your pet, what reason, how did you think of the name... you can do it like this.

NAME: Digger
BREED/TYPE ETC.: Labrador Retriever
REASON: Actually I don't know, because my dad named him!

NAME: Chubby
BREED/TYPE ETC.: Labrador Retriever
REASON: He was the biggest one in the litter, and it fit him perfect.

NAME: Otis
BREED/TYPE ETC.: Pug
REASON: I thought that the pug on Milo and Otis was cute, so when I got a Pug, I was gonna name him Otis. I am glad I did!

NAME: Prince
BREED/TYPE ETC.: Samoyed
REASON: It took me forever to find a name for him! I bought baby books and everything. He is my little Prince, so that is how he got his name, and of course it had to suit his personality!

NAME: Max
BREED/TYPE ETC: Lab, rotti, pitt mix
REASON: It was either Max, Blacky, or Ben. So I came up with this: Max BB King

NAME: Axle
BREED/TYPE ETC: Common Snapping turtle
REASON: I didn't know what to call him so I had a vote on icq with my friends & Axle won

BREED/TYPE ETC: Tiger Oscar (big fish)
REASON: Guess

NAME: Jack
BREED/TYPE ETC: Jack Dempsey (handsom fish)

[primabella]

NAME: Rocket
BREED/TYPE ETC: Budgie Bird
REASON: Because my brother wanted to name him after the beanie baby 'Rocket' that my sister had

NAME: Sky
BREED/TYPE ETC: 'Fantasy' Budgie Bird
REASON: Because of her color (sky blue)

NAME: Mickey
BREED/TYPE ETC: Sheltie/dog
REASON: Because we were stuck on names and Mickey just seemed cute. He has black ears which made the name more suiting but its also because its simple and the one name nobody out of 6 people had a problem with.

[Fuzzy317]

BREED/TYPE ETC: collie/lab mix
REASON: he is my fiancee's dog, was named before I came along, not sure why

REASON: thats the name he had when adopted

NAME: Rosie
BREED/TYPE ETC: domestic short hair cat
REASON: thats the name she had when adopted

NAME: Twidgit
BREED/TYPE ETC: domestic short hair cat
REASON: when she was very young, she was a twit, and my fiancee felt she was an igit, so we combined the words into her name

he was a stray that found us and he was soooo lucky we kept him! He was in awful shape, no hair, thin and just looked pitiful! But he is such a pretty dog now!

Chief
mixed breed dog
He is the strongest of the dogs so far and the name fits him.

Dutches
mixed breed 5 week old puppy
Named her after my childhood dog Dutch. She also looks a bit like him.

Warlock

My son named him, I think because the pup is black. He is Dutches brother.

We got her with the name. Our cousin gave her to my son and the cousin is a car nut and named her after the lexus car.

Bug
Quaker parot
My son named him, not sure why its bug though.

Snotz
Cali Giant rabbit
She got a real bad cold when I got her. She was living outside and when I got her she became a house bunny and caught a cold from the a/c. She had bunny snot all over her face for a few days and thats how she got her name.

Angora bunny
She is so friendly and loves to snuggle when you hold her.

So there you have it all my childrens names

[Daisylover]

I wait for inspiration to strike...my buns often end up naming themselves....by being hersey brown (Chocolate), soft-soft-soft fur (Velvet), white (Diasy), a stinker (Robbie), Emma (a real lady), and Noah, who really should have been named Moses because he was found in a huge cardboard box on the side of a road...

Reason: She has the colour of honey in her fur, also because when we first got her she didn't have a name so we just said "come here honey" lol
