My french friend had a cat called Brioche which I always loved.
I know a dog called Noodles which just suits her perfectly.
Another friend had a staffy called Rita which just worked so well.

I met a woman and her daughter whose Siamese cat was called Margot.

Totally awesome - Margot Ledbetter was definitely a Siamese in a former life!

I think Griff Rhys Jones has (had?) a chocolate labrador called Cadbury - that always tickled me.

We used to have donkeys called Alice and Paddy McGinty.

Current cat is Ernie, previous was Bert - totally coincidental.

I once owned a goldfish called Sir Toby Belch.

A lot of my pets got Shakespearean names and I always thought it would be a good goldfish name.

My dad had a hamster called Bismark. He wanted people to think he was a German shepherd. He was affectionately known as the werehamster because he would crash around in the dead of night

Oeff where to start:

For black dogs Anubis, Xango, Osiris, Obayama, Uzuri, Nawi and Black Jack.

Other names Nubia (cloud), Nyabinghi, Nadhari, Sahara, Azula, Katara (for a cat, Kat in Dutch) themba, Ashanti, Ororo, Adisa, Kumani, Nkosi, Uhuru and Damballah.

With a few exceptions (mouse for a grey dog), our animals get African themed names and they rather live up to the meaning of their name 😁
