We had a horse called Gay, which when she was born my parents obviously thought was a nice name but by the time I was a teenager it was a tad embarassing to me to stand in a field and shout GAY at the top of my lungs.

When we were children, my older sister had four tortoises. Joey, Giant (he was on the large side), Sturdy and Sprightly. Unfortunately Sturdy wasn't as sturdy as we thought, because he became ill, and despite having medicine from the vet, he died. And Sprightly suddenly gave up being sprightly when we came down one morning and found he had departed this life.....

Six cats; Comic, Assassin, Lola, Knuckles, Avatar and Bandit.

One fish; Evil Fish (there's a reason why he lives alone).

We don't have any pets at the moment, in the past DD had a tortioise called Dude, ten stick insects all called sticky or marmite and some fish which were all called fish.
The carrot we dangled to cheer her up about moving was two kittens. She's already decided that one will be called Darius and the other smokey.

My friend had a dog named Alan, which always made me laugh..especially as it was a better name than my friend's very nerdy (male) one!

lololizzy · 09/02/2011 12:55

I worked at a cattery and there was a Gonad / Mohammed / Cat Stevens /Cat Cobain / and more normal human names (which always seemed a bit odd ..but cute..on a kitty) ie Susan , Prudence, Della, Jessica, Sara, Lia...
I remember a large white persian named Picasso but he would wee EVERYWHERE and stink so we had to bathe him..therefore renamed him - Pisscat Grin
