As a side I have worked professionally with dogs and took donations from the public and some of those names were ummmm ... interesting. Ganjha, Jaffa, Zeus, Blitz, She, Boots, Khan, Kaiser, Soldier and Gandalf to name a tiny portion but the most common used to be Ben and Max.
Our rescue jack russel/beagle cross was named Woody at the pound as he was happiest when he was chewing up a stick. Our cat, also from a rescue centre we called Dusty- short for Dusty Bin as she was a tiny kitten found tied up in a black plastic dustbin sack! She used to get called Dusty bin-Laden every time she bought home a dead body, but she doesn't do that so much now she's 12.
Oooh, Muvs, some of those names would be a surpirise if heard called across the park! I like Fly for a collie - and Dash would suit too if it wasn't already in use! My friend called her cat Guinness - he was black on top and white underneath but usually lay on his back - and owned up to feeling a bit self-conscious calling his name when attempting to summon him in from the garden. Another friend called her dog Dai because he had a bad case of 'the runs' during his first few weeks with her.
my one cat is called Inkie. She is mostly white with a black tail, nose and one ear. She also has a black spot on one side. Looks like she has been splashed with ink!
What a beautiful horse, i would love to be able to ride. One day i will pluck up thje courage to do it, have to be careful with the back. Thankyou to everyone who replid to my thread i find other peoples pet names brillant
My daughter has a rescue dog. When she adopted him he was called Rocket and if you saw him run you would understand why. She has now renamed him Henry. He is an adorable mongrel, full of mischief about a year old he's going to obedience classes, but he hasn't got much idea as yet..
I had a two Rottweilers called Kiefer (Sutherland) and Nathan ( just liked the name) and a ginger and white cat called Leroy!!! And my friend had an Irish Wolfhound called Mouse, just because he was grey. Pet names should be given as much thought as children's names I think.
we got my son a cat for Christmas back in 2007, he called her Gwennie- I have never understood how a 12 year old boy choose that name. At the same time we got a tabby kitten from the rescue called Willow but we renamed her Leelo. They are always found snuggled up together.
Then in 2009 we got a ginger tabby boy who we called Tiggy. He is about twice the size of the girls
.
At the start of this year we got a female adult white cat (have always wanted a pure white) her name was Lily so we left it as that. Trouble was she hadn't been spayed and got pregnant. What joy when she gave birth to the first kitten sitting on my lap.She had four kittens but after a week the smallest white one died. We called them Dusty who became Charlie, Kasper who became Meaowski and Tabs became Mika.
.
Then before we had a chance to get her spayed she was pregnant again. This time choosing to get up on the sofa with me to have her last two kittens rather than in the box we set up for her.These five kittens are just so cute but I am not nameing them so I do not get too attatched.
Bev, adorable photos You must have your hands full at the moment. We fostered a pregnant cat from the rescue centre where we got our cats from . She produced 4 healthy kittens but I couldn't do it again. We got really attached to them but managed to find homes for them all . My daughter took Horace, the largest kitten and I think he's still growing - he's enormous and even found a home for Mum whom the rescue centre named Jellybean.
