Good names for pets

[Pingu]

My mate had a dog called sexy, the dog was always running off too, sods law.

my mate had a band called "the sexy dogs"

as you were

However I once went home with a gentleman I met in a club, and was introduced to his cat, Peter Beardsley. I left.

That is seriously the funniest anecdote I've heard in 2009.

this is a sly thread - we're all giving away our pets' names willingly
next he'll be asking for our sort codes

I watched a programme on pyramids recently and one of the pyramid-building pharaohs was called Snefru.

That's our next cat sorted whenever we get it (we can't get one ATM as ours only just tolerate each other, never mind anyone else).

Me and an ex had two cats called Claudia and Rustum. Claudia, sort of because on the way home I tried to settle her because she was freaking out a bit in the car and she 'clawed ya'. Rustum, because the ex wanted to name him Rustum after Sohrab and Rustum. Claudia was a bit of a flirty, hoity toity tortoiseshell, and Rustum was a fluffy hearth rug. He was one of those cats that doesn't lie down Sphinx-like on his haunches, but kind of spreadeagles.

And I had a cat called Mao Furen. It's funny/cute if you speak Mandarin Chinese.

I'd like to have a cat called Schrodinger, as that's an ace name for a cat.

 

[whoha]

I used to know a bloke called wing nut.

Did his ears stick out?

I do like cats with surnames, like my former cat Sir Cedric Hardwicke (not my doing!) and my neighbour's cat Mrs Jones.

However I once went home with a gentleman I met in a club, and was introduced to his cat, Peter Beardsley. I left.

I think that actively being introduced to cats in general would probably bring about a swift exit. It isn't as if the cats need it, after all; they don't care who you are.

"take your hands out of my pants and shake paws with Mr Beardsley before we go any further"
"do you know any taxi numbers"

 

[lizzieloo]

Did his ears stick out?

ooooooooooh yes, nut for short

 

[og ogilby]

After some consideration, I named my cat Flumf.

It's an acronym for freaky little ugly mother fucker.

 

[Badgers]

Gerbils called Winking Blinking & Nod
Sadly Winking & Nod only lived short lives and we were left with 'Blinking Gerbil' after this.

Chicken called Cornflake
Cat called Possum

My ex had a stunning tabby cat, really fit and sleek and shiny.
He was called Lando (yes after Mr Calrissian) and it really suited him.

 

[mr steev]

My mate's cat is called Cabbage.

A mate a while ago had a cat called Dog which always caused a stir at the vets

Still think he should have called him smudge.

Considering you've met me, several times, I don't much like being mistaken for a guy. But I do want your sort codes.

Those are both great

I'm glad I posted this thread, its given me plenty of laughs. When we get another cat the boyfriend wants to call it Kelvin

I on the other hand want to try and find our cat's opposite, female, black with white patches in a pattern as close to the pattern on our boy-cat as possible. They will either be yin and yang, living harmoniously and breeding to create prefect little grey-all over kittens * or they will be arch nemeses and spend their days having epic cartoon superhero/villain style battles, destroying the flat in the process. Either is fine with me


*I am aware that genetics doesn't really work this way.

My No.1 Dog is named Wolfy -but I can't imagine why?

 

[Funky_monks]

My dawgs are Gethin and Bertie (well, he's Albert really, but he wouldn't come back to that).

 

[Kanda]

Dave

 

[Rainingstairs]

i like Dougal

 

[Epona]

I like Wingnut, I'm just really pissed off that I didn't think of it myself. The cats I named are Radar (which similarly, I expect, came about because of his mahoosive ears! - and a big pfffft to all of you that said he would grow into them, because thankfully he didn't and they are still mahoosive ) and Sonic Boom. Our other cat is called Jacob which doesn't fit at all with our theme but he already answered to his name when we got him so didn't want to confuse him by changing it!

My parents had a budgie called Icarus which I thought was quite amusing

That is a really cool name

I am never allowing small children to name future pets, unless they can come up with something original, as I'm not being stuck with a Fluffy, Sooty or Snowy for the foreseeable. Mind you, a cat called 'Power Ranger' would be OK.

My mate's family of five (three boys, two parents) voted on the name of the new cat.

3:2, the vote was for Snot.

The cat was called Cello.

 

[seeformiles]

There's a cat down the street from my Ma called "Mr Bojangles" - she calls him "The Major". My mate had two snakes - one called "Rover" and the other "Rover 2 Over". I've got a cat called "Buttons" but if I get another one, he's going to be called "Mr Kippers" or "Pudding".

I knew a Sausage dog called Hitler.

Pavarotti is a good on for a Rotti.
Bertil for a Staff.
Darcey for a Doberman.

 

[zippyRN]

the original zippy household cat was called smudge, because the white streak between his eyes was 'smudged' ( he's a black tuxedo cat) - smudge now lives with a firend of ours becasue we are only allowed one cat in our current place ... the current zippy household cat is sammy / tiger sam a true ginger female ... she acquired the tiger refix from her tiger like hunting style of waiting in long grass ...

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

I don't get "wing nut"

 

[kyser_soze]

Mike Hunt. Top name for a dog.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

One of our cats is called Trinity.

 

[BoatieBird]

We've just got a new dog and his name is Dub, we took him on from a friend who wasn't in a position to look after him any more. She also had a dog called Funk and still has a cat called Ska.

Our other dog is called Treacle (to be said in your best Pete Beale voice)

"Treacle! Leave it aht!! Treacle! Gertcha!"
