What have you named your pets?

Princesspaola21 · 12-03-2012, 03:52 AM

The common name topic has me interested in what kind of names you guys have given to your pets and why? I will start with some past and present pets. I have a border collie named squeakers because when she barks she squeaks, a "pitbull" mix named Budhha because when I got him he had a fat belly. One of my horses came to me already named Bandit because he had a band around his neck lol and he liked to escape the hot wire. I have a pair of Australian shepherds named Lancelot and Guinevere. I used to have a chicken named Mrs. Cluck Cluck lol. Some various other names I've used. Pretzel, Ceaser, Cocoa puff, ebony, ivory, pumpernickel, Chiquita, diablo, Kansas, Patron, moonbeam, sterling, Sampson, Merlin, jingle Bells, Romeo, lol I have used some odd name I know. Kids tend to name animals whatever comes to mind

I tend to name my pets the first thing that comes to mind when I see them. What about you?

I like to name my dogs after clothing accessories obviously... except Koby... my ex named him.

Cat:
Mr. Murray K Mittens aka Mr Mittens- 14

Hamsters:
#1 and #2.... I think my son calls them Tico and Tango but I just refer to them as numbers. I hate them.

I've got Akasha, Mya, Nyx and Rebel and Dixie.

Akasha is my bully mix. We named her after The Queen of The Damned. I still haven't heard many dog's with her name.

Mya was just a random name the hubby came up with for our rescue.

Nyx is our black German Shepherd mix. We didn't want to use a typical black dog name but I still wanted to play off her black color. Researched Mythology and named her after the Greek Goddess of Night.

Rebel and Dixie are our Rats. They are common... but I'm southern damnit. Gotta have at least one animal named Rebel lol.

I have only named 2 dogs out the the 4 I have.

MSK's Cherokee Maiden's Dream a.k.a. Dreamer

Her original name was Dreamweaver but, she looked so much like her mother I decided to name her after her mother. Her mother's original name was Turpin's Cherokee Maiden so I added the Dream in remembrance of the Dreamweaver and also to make sense of why I call her Dreamer.

My labrador I chose a pretty basic name but, I like it.

Gunner's Ol' Yeller Jacob of MSK

Gunner being his fathers registered name and then Ol' Yeller yes cliche' since he is a Yellow Lab and Jacob because his call name is Jake.

My son decided to call the labrador Jake because of the "Feed Jake" music video.

EDIT: Whoops

Well I have one more my co-own bred by.

MSK's Krypton

I think the name speaks for itself if you are a Superman nut like I am and I am a HUGE Smallville series fan. My son was only 3 so when I tried to get him to call him Krypto he only got Kryp so Kryp stuck and it has been Kryp ever since.

I have so many names put back I don't know what to do with them all. I don't breed often but, my next few mind planned litters anyways there not really completely planned as I tend to back out since i don't like to push pups at all. Here just few I have set down and gotten.

Akiliya X Bouncer
Boy - MSK's Keepn' 1 Ina Chamber a.k.a. Buckshot
Girl - MSK's Lightin' Em' Up a.k.a. Trigger

Kryp's first litter (whenever that is)
Boy - MSK's Fifty Shades of Grey a.k.a Mr. Grey (still thinking on this call name)
Girl - MSK's Anastasia Steele a.k.a. Ana or Ms. Steele (same as above on those call names.)

Dreamer's first litter (whenever that is)
Boy - MSK's Highway to Hell a.k.a. Diablo or Natas
Girl - MSK's Kissin' Dynamite a.k.a. Anya (Ah-n-ya)

I let their names come to me after a few days sometimes even a week or so!
Tan/white Apbt mix: CALLALILY. She's a beautiful girl. I wanted to give her the name of a flower. Cali for short.
Pointer/am bulldog: MAZARATI. Pointers like to run. This one does too. Mozzie for short.
Siamese cat: TAKASHI. I'm a Paul Mitchell hairstylist and Takashi is the name of one of their famous stylists.
Long haired orange tabby cat polydactyl (has thumbs): SNARF. Like from the thunder cats.

Those are from the hamster fairy story huh?! Lol. I honeslty am much more a rat person... I was in the 4th grade and wanted a hamster and the petstore guy talked my mom and I into getting a rat instead. Friendlier, not nocturnal, don't bite as much, and they are bigger so they don't get lost as easy. Lol

I've named 3 dogs.

When I was @ 4 years old I got to pick the name for our Dobe and I named her Leisha. (I liked the name Alicia but I was too little to pronounce it correctly).

As an adult I named our Basset Hound Frances Abigail, and our pit bull Veronica Lynn.

I guess I had a thing for "people" names for dogs ever since I was a kid, and it just cracks me up for a dog to have a first and middle name.

We had another childhood pet that my mom got to name; a minature poodle and she named her Chocolate because she was brown. I did not approve.

Autumn-n-Gage · 12-03-2012, 11:19 AM

Well when I was little we had Ruby and Capone, male and female dobermans, then we had a mastiff named Barley (all of those came with names attached) then we got a cane Corso my brother named him Bama..ROLL TIDE ROLL. Then I got a bearded dragon, his name was little man... Until HE became SHE

then it was Sasha, which hasn't ever really stuck, she is just little girl now lol

As for my pits, my boyfriend and I each got to name one, he got the male and named him Gage.... He likes to shoot but I didn't want to spell it Gauge. Then Autumn kinda came to him first, they were born Sept 1st so she is an Autumn baby, nothing else really stuck lol I tried to play off her blue color but couldn't find anything that stuck out as different.

I really like to just let the animal give me their name but I still come up with their names randomly sometimes too. Our cat's name is Squishy, named after Nemo. We have a turtle named Everlast, because turtles live for a long time. We have a sow that was never originally named until my mom started calling her miss piggy. My family are chow nuts and I got to pick their chows names, they have a chow named Weezy because at first they were not going to keep him and I was going to give him to a friend who hated hiphop and a rapper named lil Wayne so I named the dog after him just to annoy her lol. Then they had another chow who I named Patrick because I thought a people name would be hilarious on a dog. I still chuckle every time I call that dog over (I'm easily amused at times). Then I have my boy Jojo not sure where I got his name from when he's in trouble I'll call him Joseph lol. I let my mom name Sam when I brought him home that first night I was like "what should we call him?" and she was like "I don't know" Sam" and it stuck. I named Stoney randomly, because I just had to change it at the pound they called her Vivian... yuck. That was long but that's the list

Our cats names are Chloe, Sam and Max. We also had an Ava. We named all buy Sam, he was a rescue and came with that name.

My dog growing up was a Samoyed named Sahne (say-na) which is German for Cream.

Our pitbulls are Yumi (Japanese for Beautiful) and Reizo (Japanese for Calm)
