What kind of weird, cute, funny, or just plain wild name you named your pets (past or present), or anyone you know who have done this? :)

I named two of my Boston Terriers, Tobi and Pepper. My first BT, Tobi, got her name from the breeder who named her and her siblings after they were born...so when I got her, we let her keep her name. :)

I named my 2nd BT, Pepper, because of her black and white fur...and her personality fit for her which she was full of "pep". LOL

My mother had a Chinese Fighting Fish named "Jaws" which was named after the movie "Jaws" (and that is her sense of humor showing too! :mrgreen: )

My mother's 2 of her 4 brothers had two small dogs of their own growing up....the boys named them "Stupid" and "Idiot".

What crazy names, cute names, funny names or whatever do you know of for pets? :)
 
i actually have 3 cats myself that i raised....

first one is gray n white - i call her PINKY because she used to have soo big pink nose when shes a kitten. heh.

2nd one... black n white cat -- i called him SNOOPY -- remind me of the tv cartoon show SNOOPY. heh heh

3rd one... mixed color of gray, tan, black, white cat... i call her TABBY -- sound right and she listens to me when i call her TABBY. :)
 
Mugs - Purebred Yellow Labrador Retriever
Sky - German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever cross
Whiskey - Domestic Short-haired Tabby cat
 
I have two mean hamsters. One is 2 months old name Gizmo Tan with one white stripe in the middle and other one is about almost a year old name Snowball as it's white.
 
Pets our family has had...

Before I was born, a dog called Dakota, because my parents lived in North Dakota.

Then, a Labrador Retriever called Huey Bell (Huey for short). "Huey" is the helicopter my dad flew at the time, and "Bell" is the company that manufactures Hueys.

Next, a white cat called Herbert--and she was a girl. This one was my fault; I was 3 or 4 and I had read a book about a white stray cat called "Leave Herbert Alone." So when a white stray showed up at our door...well, you can guess. She lived a LONG time, and she became completely deaf. She actually knew a couple of "signs"--if you used your fingers like a gun to "shoot" her, she'd roll over to let you rub her belly! And also, once she lost her hearing, she discovered that the hose attachment on the vacuum cleaner made a VERY nice massager! ;)

Now, we have a tortie cat called Annie. We picked her up from the shelter, and my mom named her after Little Orphan Annie. ;)
 
Dog, Jack Russell- Smokey my daughter named him.. I don't know why...

Cat, Furby She looked like a Furby stuffed animal when she was a kitten.. but now she looks nothing like furby...

Hamster, Pepper he has black, dark brown and white furs.. this one is very friendly but loves to poop on us..
 
We have a purebred Bengal cat named Kula. We named her Kula after a town in Maui, where you can see the sun rise and set over the ocean. We love this town and hope to live there one day.

Our Solomon Island Eclectus parrot is "Lenny" because that was his name when we got him. He was 9 years old and too old to change names. But it does suit him!

"Boots" our barn cat, her name is because of her 4 white boots.

Fu Fur, black cat manx, when i was a little girl, dont know why my parent name him that. (Got hit by a car, *shudder to think about that cuz i saw everything and was like 3 yrs old*)

Homer, again dont know why named him homer. He disappeared one day after my parent let him out (outdoor cat) we felt that he passed away from poision of neighbour's grass.

Tiger, Not really my cat, but a kitten from a litter we fostered, we named him tiger because he act like the toughest one of the litter when really he was a runt. (passed away from an accident of the living room chair)

Minka, my beloved baby, she was part siamese, and my uncle used to have a siamese named minka, so i liked that name and named her that. passed away from heart and kidney failure.

Dog...

Duchess, Irish Setter, passed away at 18 year old in 1998.

Hamster, had a several of hamsters, trying to remember their names,
Chocolate, Chippy, and Teddy, Teddy died as he escaped from cage and got stuck in wall and never came out, Chocolate the same thing. Chippy died at old age.

Present...
Dogs...

Cats...
