Most notable names was Arnie Schwarzerhamster for one of my hamster.

And I now have four rabbits Roxanne, Chewy, Sandy and Bertie.

Chewy was from her compulsion to try and eat/lick you when she was a baby!

My g'pig mentioned earlier (Willy Wonka) had very cute babies with Hairy Mary Grin I was about 8, so the names were perfectly innocent to me!

I called my first pet (Green Budgie) Peter. He was named after the ice cream van man. Can you see who was important to me aged 4.

Peter (god rest his soul) died aged 13 and was replaced by a blue budgie named Roberto Budgio

Roberto sadly met an untimely end during a cheese on toast making incident. I think thats for another thread though.

We have a fat cat, called ... Fat Cat.

Someone I knew called their kitten Mischief, I've always found that very appropriate.

My first hamster was called Tarzan, not because I was especially hung up on Tarzan, but because my father's first hamster's name had been TarzanHmm

My sister has a sausage dog named FritjofGrin

90's iItalian footballer Roberto Baggio

My little brother chose his name he was only about 8 at the time. I thought it was quite inventive for an 8 year old :o

Maybe not as funny as I remember though!
