HazyWal Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I love random human names too. There's 2 Geoffreys at my park now! 2 of them!! Both staffy mixes - one was meant to be Keith but they looked at him and something just said 'Geoffrey'. We also have an Aussie Bulldog called Meatballs, and a little Staffy girl Pickle. I live for the day that those guys become friends. Oh, then they can play with Felafel the oodle and my life will be complete. Oh, and Sparkles the CKCS. oh god, and Brian the little mini daschy.. ahhh, love those human names! Brian the mini daschy I love it.I know of two daschy's called Graeme and Neil.A good friend of mine had four daschy's once called Ray,Ralph,Sally and Douglas.A new neighbour moved in behind her and about a week later he popped his head over the fence and introduced himself and his name was Doug.He said he was a little worried when he would come out into the garden to hear "Doug get out of that bloody garden!!!".He thought she was yelling at him :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasels Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've always been partial to the pedigree name "Waikikamukau oohs and aahs" who pops up in the WA ANKC newsletter every now and again :laugh: The only animals I've ever named myself have been hermit crabs. I had Hermie, Wormy, Squirmy and Kermit (Kermie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretel Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Love some of the names :laugh: My first pet mice were Royal Shah and Gentys Pride - I got their names out of the race guide!! :laugh: My son named a couple of our pups when he was little. We had Boot and Gerty. I didn't ask him to name any more after that.... My most unusual one now would be Ingrid. She came with the name. I wasn't really too fussed with it but she really is Ingrid so I couldn't change it. Jersey was named Jersey cause she was born brown with a white stripe like a jersey caramel :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I prefer the simple names. After years of naming dogs great names, only to have the mouths go and other show disasters. I decided to name my last Stafford the most boring human name I could come up with, so "Brett" it was. I have a Borzoi called "Pavlova" , my other half said " you'd wanna name him Pav, as you are going to be cooking an effing lot of those for bringing him home " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The strangest name I have come across is Cabbage for a Labrador, no idea why. Also heard of a cat called Whoopee - try calling that out from the back door at night and see what the neighbours think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddles Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 We have an English springer spaniel whom, when we first got him, I called minstral (because he sang all the time) after one too many people asked if I was suffering pms when I named him (think about it) we changed it to fred... (that's the biggest mistake name I've done) we've also had cats called snakebait roadkill dim and sim (2 stray kittens who did not stay with us too long) now i stick to conventional names, we have fred, sophie (mnamed before we got her) and milo (again named before he came to us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ons Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 My Onslow was named after the character Onslow on Keeping Up Appearances. Both big and lazy - my Ons likes nothing better than slying on a couch :laugh: Although a few years ago we were on holidays at the beach and this lady commented on Onslow's name and said how patriotic I was - she thought he was named after Onslow MacArthur :laugh: I'm dying to name a dog Bucket pronounced Bouquet :laugh: Latte was named Latte because she is white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate colouring. Mocha was named to keep up with the coffee theme and the new pup *cross fingers* will be Chino. when Latte has her pups I have already decided on a "tea" theme for them - Dilmah, Twinings, Earl, Grey, Green, Jasmine, Chai, Tea :laugh: When I lived in Canada, a friend of a friend had a ginger cat named Pekoe, after the popular tea blend there Orange Pekoe. I've always thought it was a cute name. You could add that to your list :) love it - thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tashnchief Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I have a pup here at the moment who doesn't yet have a proper name. Nicknamed in the early days as 'christmas' as we had run out of ribbon colours and all that we had was leftover Christmas ribbon! Problem is now she knows her nickname and comes to it when called. I think it's stuck! Will be interesting to call out 'christmas' in public!!! Especially as she is going to grow into a big slobbery Dogue De Bordeaux :) Edited March 31, 2012 by tashnchief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarasMum Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 We had a budgie that flew in our front door many years ago and proceeded to bite everyone. His name was Sid (Vicious). We had a GSD who's name was Phantom because he would disappear at bath time. My wee little bantam rooster was named Frank. I have a one eyed chook atm and her name was originally Iris, now it's Eyeless :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
