I Wanna Hear About Your Pets' Names!

[Michelle]

Omigosh. A senior doggie and a baby doggie. That's like both ends of the cute dog spectrum with there. o I hope they get along!

[gateofselidor]

My family has two Netherland dwarf rabbits called Rosie and Dill. We name all our rabbits after plants (our previous bunnies were called Poppy and Willow).

Kaylee!

I had cats when I was a kid-- but I'll just start with the pets I got when I moved out. I had cats first, so I'll start with them:

Romeo

I had about an hour to kill before work (at a fast food place) and I decided to go to the pound. I was just going there to look! My first cat I ever had was a boy, so I have this tendecy to always want male pets. He was the only male cat in the pound. I asked to see him-- just to hold-- and as soon as the cage was opened, he placed his front paws on my shoulders and started rubbing all over my face. How can I NOT take him home?

So of course, I called in late to work, went to the petstore to buy cat supplies... and to name him. I named him Romeo because he kinda looked like the cat from Romancing the Stone-- and it's name was Romeo. He used to jump up to me when he was younger, but now struggles to jump up on the couch. He's still a sweet heart... but more cranky, more clingly in his old age (he's 18/19!!!) and lovingly-- an asshole of a cat now. He picks on the other cat--- stubbornly wakes us up at 3am for food-- hates closed doors-- spills his water dish on purpose and sleeps like an old man-- next to me every night now (he was more independent, sleeping everywhere until about 2/3 years ago). I wouldn't want him any other way.

If he could talk, his most used phrases are "Momma" "Hey man" and "I'm not a baby..."

Marbles

Again, I was just going to look! She was in a cage along with her brother (who was super cute, with white little boots and a white chest) and her mother. They had been found in a dumpster, and momma cat couldn't climb out with them. The girl kitten was very brave and was playing in the front of the cage with me-- whereas her brother did not... so I decided to take her home. When I got her, she could fit in my hand... so was so tiny! She looked like a little marble-- hence the name. She's more observant than Romeo. She plays fetch and loves fish over fowl. The sword pattern on her back has disappeared as she grew older and now she has freckles on her nose... she has quiet mehs, never meows, and just started to snore in her sleep this last 3 years. It took her 5 years to finally accept my husband... and it's cute when she did... you can just tell. I like knowing that she's only known one home her entire life.

She also sleeps with me... which causes problems with Romeo...
Her voice-- for some reason-- is a old cranky smoker woman's voice... "Oooo... fud" "Tssss..."

Dee Dee

After my husband's dog was put to sleep, we went for a year without a dog. It was a very empty feeling... even Marbles was going through stress with the change (she was pulling her hair out on her front legs!) So we went to the pound to see about a dog. That one turned out to be too big, so we just looked around and my husband found her. She was quiet and the right size we wanted and we decided to adopt her.

She has brought us so much stress and anxiety (when we first got her)! She had separation anxiety and would bark and howl all day long. She didn't like to eat-- we pour BBQ sauce (for dogs) on her food, give her wet food-- not feed her for a day sometimes-- just to try to get this thing to eat her food! After much reading-- a 2nd dog seemed like the solution... BAM. She ate her food when given... stopped howling whenever we left the house. She still has issues-- she's scared of anyone chewing bubble gum, hates the garbage truck, or any truck... and hates riding in the car on the freeways. But she makes us smile and she loves people (and she's smart! knows 14 tricks and can pick up on new ones very fast!) I taught her to turn off the floor lamp in about 10 mins. Her name was so close to being Scully or Dana... thank gawd I thought of Dee Dee!

Rocko

Originally named Roscoe-- this rescue mutt entered our lives because Dee Dee is a crazy dog.
I knew I wanted a boston terrier-- and found a rescue that had a boy. We spoke on the phone and told me he isn't 100% boston, maybe a mix-- he has a tail-- and I was like-- nah not a problem. Then I saw him in person-- I thought "Wow--- he's really funny looking."

He is definitely my dog... He's super skinny and tall for a boston-- who is very ball centric and loves to sing. Like-- at everything. Also, he watches TV. Like-- really watches TV... he doesn't like people staring at him in person OR on the TV. He is so expressive and predictable. He will not eat his food unless he performs tricks.

His nicknames are "Nock Nock" "Nocky" and "Ugly"-- lovingly so!

[SethJH]

We have a parakeet and 2 dogs.

Steven Cecil Green-Budgie is the parakeet. He will say "Pretty Steve", or really "pretty steeese".
Beau is an old harrier hound. Everyone else spells it "Bo" and I think it's because he's bow-legged.
Bailey is my step-mom's toy poodle. I don't like him very much- but that's because I don't like little dogs.

This is an old picture of Steve

We've got 3 ferrets and 2 cats here! c:

Our oldest ferret is Oline, or Queen Oline as her attitude demands. It means 'secrecy' Tolkien Elvish. Our 'middle child' ferret is Nightingale, or just Gale, named after The Nightingales in Skyrim. The youngest fuzzbutt and newest addition to the family is Artemis, or Artie, named after the goddess of the hunt. A generous name, given she's a huge fluffy doofus. :'D

((Oline's the white one, Gale is beside her and Artie's in the back. Aaand then Gale again. c: ))

Our two cats are Nile and Ruby. Nile's a massive blonde Maine Coon and he's the oldest pet we have. Ruby is an orange tabby, a so-called 'short hair'. Sure her hair's 'short', but it's so thick it literally stands on end in some places.

I got 4 cats and a dog, and they are my world.

My oldest is Pris, She is 20. I got her when i was really little and she has been in my life as far as I can remember. She came from the woods in the middle of no where, my grandma happened upon her when she was out. No other humans around for miles and this little cat wondered out of the trees.... One of my earliest memories is her big yellow eyes staring at me from inside the kennel when I first met her. She didn't stop purring for over 3 years, just purred non stop.

Then Summon, who is 11, We named her Summon because I had a dream about a cute kitten who needed help. Then I found her, she was 5 months but her body was the size of a 2 month old and she was almost deaf... You'd never know how weak and small she was with her big ego now lol

Cyrus, my big puppy who is 10. He is my best friend and he knows it! Between him and Pris, they have my heart.

Chi, who is 7. My mate and I picked her up as our one year anniversary. She has 5 toes on 2 feet, 6 on one and 6.5 on another.... she is the biggest cat I own.

and Freya who is 6. Got Freya from her previous owner when she was 2. Her owner decided her new boyfriend was more important and he didn't like cats. Freya is super skitish and terrified of everything. But if you take the time to sit and wait for her to come to you, she will be the most loveable kitty ever...

I used to have a basset hound growing up, but he had to be put down.

His name was Sir Barnabas Henry Wadsworth Longfellow III. We just called him Barney.
The reason why his name was so long and weird was that we got him from an elderly couple, who most likely enjoyed poetry. After owning him for a few years, he started getting sick often and he had lots of hearing problems.

He was a chubby, stubborn, silly dog.

[donathinfrye]

My indoor/outdoor kitty recently passed at the young age of 9. :-/ She was a true adventurer/hunter: terrible to other animals (so she was my only pet) but great to humans. Hyper intelligent. She could feed herself, open doors, climb any surface, communicate very clearly, was clean and independent ... she was a person in cat form. I loved her a lot. I'm hoping that I'll get to a place eventually where I'm ready for another, but ... it's tough to go through that, and I really lucked out with how great of a cat she was.

Her name was Yuna Action Belladonna.

[nathankschulz]

Aww that's adorable! CJ, Chichi, and Courage! That's some sweet stories there. Also, never be surprised how long we can talk about our pets.

[nathankschulz]

I'm sorry for you loss. Cisco sounded like an awesome little dude!

[nathankschulz]

@Papina SQUIRREL! Haha, no Doug the Dog is an awesome name!

@Aloredd Lot of pets, lot of love! Daisy and Bo look adorable. "Shy-ly" Shylie! Haha, that's a cute name. Flynn... "In like Flynn"? I wonder... Spike is a warrior's name! Cats aren't subtle about what they don't like. Its easy to be smitten with Smittens. Shmitty the Kitty is a great name. Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary! Yeah, I had a bird till he bit me then he found a new home. Glad Sonic was able to find another home with your family. Zora has to live up to quite a legend... of Zelda. Hopefully Turt and Barb will learn to share. Awesome animals! I'm glad with whatever length the story of your pets was going to go to!

@rainbowolfe Sorry for losing Casper. Sounds like Link will be able to distract you with his weird noises. Haha Wow chickens AND ducks! Daffy should always go the jerk of the group. Star the turtle sounds like a cool children's story. And so long Dee and Dum! They made Thanksgiving.

[nathankschulz]

@Michelle Thank you! Mitzi sounds sweet... and mysterious! PJ= "Perfectly Jolly" And that's so cool you have pet rats! I always thought rats were cool pets. My friend had one named Tailspin because, unlike his other two pet rats, if you picked Tailspin up and petted him JUUUST right... he would stat spinning his tail like crazy. But he wouldn't try to get away, but showing his affection (I hope)

@AnnaLandin TWO CATS FOR THE WIN! Ilsa is a cat with particular tastes, and you will abide by them. Haha Aw, Moses sounds great! I like just this level of friendly dog in my cat. Its tough to get that level of sweet in a cat. Congrats!

@joannekwan Nate is an EXCELLENT name! My full name is also Nathaniel. Your cat and I have very similar origin stories.

@phenomenom9 Oh that's a beautiful mix of dogs. Tyler and Roger sound great!

@phenylketonurics That's some cute chihuahuaness! Eevee sounds like tough nut, but such a cute little lady. And thank god Darmok is there to protect you. So valiant!

[Aloredd]

I plan on uploading pictures of the rest once I get them...the only pictures I have of Shylie and Flynn are as puppies....which they were cute puppies but they didn't start looking like mini-goldens until maturity and I want you guys to be able to see that....as for Mary (or Bloody Mary) I think she just got a hang nail or something, you know, something that can very easily be made to bleed. It didn't bleed much and my sister isn't a pansy (she just laughed it off and it actually served to endear the bird to her/us)...and budgies are small so can't really do a lot of damage even if they wanted to

[Michelle]

Rats are awesome pets! They're like tiny dogs :3 They can even learn their names and all sorts of tricks, though I never had the patience to teach mine haha. Your friend's rat sounds like he was adorable!

[nathankschulz]

@gateofselidor Dwarf bunnies! Awesome! Rosie and Dill are insanely adorable.

@agentfink Romeo, sweet Romeo! Oh yeah, Romancing the Stone, awesome movie. Holy crap, he's almost 20?! That's amazing. Hey he has every right to be a cranky cat, he's earned it. And Marbles sounds like a great little cat. Quiet and thoughtful. Dee Dee sounds like a handful of a dog, but worth the work. Rocko is adorable.

@jutawi Haha Dante and Takku sound like fun! Yeah, my cats don't really like each other. Nothing super violent, but they keep their distance from each other. Too bad you can't hug both cats at the same time without a fight ensuing!

@christinaeliz That sounds like a great little furfamily! How big is Silhouette? Is he/she one of the huge maine coons? Also, sorry for your loss of gmoney.

@SethJH Love the parakeet's name. Very respectful! Don't people know its Beau as in Beau Bridges? Haha Yeah, little dogs have a tendency to annoy me. I like how chill most larger dogs are.

@graceroche Ferrets! They are so cool! I've only petted one ferret my entire life. Such a bummer. But Oline, Gale, and Artie looks soooo cute. And Nile and Ruby are some adorable furballs.

@Alamino Pris sounds like a magical little cat. And 20?! Wow. Summon has the heart of a lion! Cyrus and Pris tag team special! That's a lot of love there. Chi must have an interesting time counting. Freya sounds like she's worth the wait.

@vincentprendick I'm sorry for your loss. Sir Barnabas Henry Wadsworth Longfellow III was a gift.

@donathinfrye A toast to Yuna Action Belladonna! She sounds awesome! I had a cat before the two I have now. Her name was Poki (Which is Hawaiian for... "cat.") I loved her so much and had her for 16 years. But when she passed... It took over a decade to get Kaylee and Pigeon. You'll get there when you get there. Heck, sometimes a cat will show up and decide you're ready. Haha

[kambreapratt]

We have 5 cats and a dog.
Our dog is a Cavamo (Cavalier King Charles/Eskimo mix) He is 7 months. His name is Charles Toasty Butternuts Pendragon the III (aka Charlie)

One is 16. She is a black short hair cat named Rini. I named her after Black Lady in Sailor Moon.

One cat is named Valentine. He is a tuxedo ragdoll (He is 14)

My son's cat is named Mew Mew (white tortoise shell aged 6)

Another one is named Stella. She is a black, calico, long hair (5 years old we think--shelter cat)
Our final cat is a black, short haired lady named Jasmine. She looks like Toothless if he was a cat.

[nathankschulz]

@kambreapratt A regal name for a regal dog! Pendragon of Avalon! Dog Save the King!
Rini, Valentine, Mew Mew, Stella, and Jasmine! That's some adorable sounding cats.

[Mikayi]

I can't post images of my animals. but I have 2 dogs, one of which has attachment issues. he has to be everywhere I am or he cries. so I have to leave things around for him when I go to work. the others' 'my little old man' he's 9 years old but he's still a puppy at heart. ((acutallity he's not really old considering he is a smaller dog))

so the funny thing is, I'm Korean but I choose Romanian names, and I noticed some people are Romanian on this site, it was it was because my brother in Law is Romanian. but the names are Mascarici and Bobita! love my little guys. they are oversized Yorkie's meaning they are big enough to wear a medium size harness, and a small for the other.

My family total we have 8 dogs total. LOVE THEM!

I had a cat long time ago, I think he thought he was a dog, or hanging around my other dog too much at the time cause he was trying to act like him and bark.
