ASCLEPIADES Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Salve iterum. Let's try a little survey of our own; what's your favourite pet's name(s)? My dogs' names are Alana and Isamaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 My favorites (especially for miniature pinschers) "Loki": the Norse god of mischief and destruction. "Teivel": (pronounced TAI-vel) Yiddish for "devil". -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Augusta Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Well, apart from my one dog, Max - a somewhat boisterous border collie - I have had a succession of cats with real names. Albert was the first. He arrived as a kitten when his mother fled to our back porch to escape a neighbour's dog. Then there was Lucy, who strayed in and strayed out again. In London I had Demelza and Tess. When I returned I bought my first Persian, Hugo. After Hugo was our rescue cat, Oscar - one of my all time faves. Then came Sapphire (Persian 2), her low-life husband Leo and her serial-killer daughter Scarlet. I still have Sapphy and Scarlet, and Scarlet's brothers Orlando and Raffles live with my niece and her family. I have always promised myself twin black Persians whom I would name Drusus and Nero - but somehow I've not yet got round to them. I actually think Roman names are quite suitable to cats. I once rode a horse called Willow and I also like the name Orsino for a horse. And I must not forget the three goldfish we had when the children were little: Burgess, Philby and McClean (after the famous British spies). I would love to have two enormous German shepherds called Herod and Pilate - just to frighten off the Jehovah's Witnesses when they come to the door! So - all in all - no Tiddles and Whiskies for me!

docoflove1974 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 My cat, Bella, fits her name...she is indeed a beautiful American Tabby (I think there's a picture of her in the Gallery...if not, there might be one soon.) My parents currently have Peanut--that's the name that she came with, and it stuck. Of course, when Peanut came from the pound, she was but a wee little lassy kitten. Now she's a 14 pound mountain-lion-purring matron cat of the house! We had toy poodles, one after another...I don't know if they count as dogs or not, but they were ok. Missy 1 and 2. Before them, my parents and I had a basset hound, named Huffy. However, she wouldn't be paper trained, and my parents wanted to re-do the backyard...so they sold her to another family. I cried so much! But oh well! Oh...yes...almost forgot...we used to have a couple of canaries. Rocky and Buffy...my brothers named them, not me.
