Heres something heaps of people can particpate in because we've all got pets,
whether it be dog, cat, bird, gold fish or even a bearded dragon

What pet/s do you have?
What is its/their name/s?
And why did you name them as such?

I'm very sure there are many people out there way more creative than we were with our pet names, but anyway

Our dog - Toy chihuahua - Named Cosi
As stated elsewhere named after Australian Idol Contestant Cosima Devito - Cause they're both 'cute'

Cat - Named Cocoa, because she is a very dark chocolate brown/black.

Cat - Named CJ (Cocoa Junior) because it's the kitten of the one above
(Yes, very original I know!!)

I know someone who called their dog Wanganeen (He is an avid Port supporter)
He said he thought it was a great name, till the dog got out one night and he was calling its name through the streets at 3am...
"Wanganeen" "Wanganeen"

Turtle - Tommy
Green Budgie - Percy after Thomas the Tank Engine's mate
Blue Budgie - Ablett

Dog named Jemma, she was named Jemma after the lip gloss contestant on Big Brother from one of the earlier seasons.

It wasn't me, it was my daughter and she was about 5 at the time.
I named our dog before that which died as a puppy, his name was Cooper after my fav beer!

Dog - Collie Fergus because it’s Scottish
14 year old Sheep Larry because it was Larry the lamb
Ram Robertson because of his high flying antics when he was young
Sheep Larry’s sister
Sheep Larry’s niece
Sheep Other because it is not related

Dogs ( 2 beagles ) - Beasley and Missy
Cats - Flake and Lillie
Budgie - Peppie

Dog - T-Bone, named after George Costanza's desire to be known as "T-Bone" in his workplace.

Wonder who the first person to write Pookee or Snuggle muffin or some stupid pet name that the significant other has for them.

Jackie and Chan:

My two dogs are Aisha and Flynn
Aisha is Swahili meaning 'life'
Flynn is Irish meaning 'son of the red haired man'

Yeah it was, my brother and I still laugh about it 20+ years on, we used to call him Uncle Stew...... his name wasn't Stewart either.

In a house with 4 women, have a male budgie ... called Lucy.

Got a puppy earlier this year, and since there's no other boys in the house (apparently), named him Charley (spelt differently) after my Dad. So now my only hope of keeping the family name going is hairy mutt.

Eric the budgy in our house, he's quite a character. He's tame, comes out of his cage at night and chases his ball around, drinks out of your glass etc.

Childhood dogs were Cookie & then Yo Yo (keeping with the biscuit theme! lol).

dog - willow
cat - harry
frogs - jumping jack and gazza
fish - well working on those!

2 cats, Zed (Zeds dead) and Frankie
2 cockatiels, Zim and Gur (kids named them)

I'll be the exception then...no pets at all now...but if I can list past pets then...

1st family dog...Bluey...an Irish Terrier. Back in the early 1960's and dad still thought of going back to Oz for good one day so he named her that because of her reddish coat.

2nd family dog...Hoppy...daughter of Bluey (who was killed in an accident) last pup of the litter so we kept her. Got the name cos as a pup she kept getting in everyones way and when people stepped on her paw she didn't limp she hopped.

My dog...Lyle...because the love of my life had the last name Tate so I named the dog after him...Tate and Lyle like the sugar company.
