Hello
We want to name a new budgie (colour unknown as choose it soon) and I love quirky or serious names but lacking inspiration . I will also try to look on old threads as there's must be some but I'd love to hear all your pets ' names
Thanks so much for any ideas

Our cat is called Carrot. I love naming pets after Pratchet characters. Just waiting to name s Guinea pig Detritus. 😊

I love that. I have been smiling as did discover another pet name thread from 2013 and some are hilarious. I do love it when pets are given serious names like Gerald.

I have written down:
Colin/ Malcolm/ Edward / Gerald
Shackleton
Mackintosh
Snoop
Pipkin
Biscuit
Humble
Crash

But still not sure any jump out at me! Ds (6) wants to call him Prince Giles (he mispronounces Prince Charles)

A family member has a cat called Graham Grin

I love a serious name.

Humble was meant to be Jumble but Humble reminds me of old English names

We have Pratchett names too, Lavender! In our case it's the guinea pig who is Captain Carrot.

I would have to call a budgie Beaker, I think, after the panicky squeaky lab assistant on the Muppets.

Zola Budgie or Budgie Holly

MaidenMotherCrone · 22/08/2017 10:52

My perfect gent cat was called Kenneth.

Babykoala1 · 22/08/2017 10:53

My cat is called Nigel and it really suits the little grumpster

The latin name for a budgerigar is Melopsittacus undulatus.
So call it Attacus (vague connection to Atticus Finch, though it might possibly give the poor thing an identity crisis!)

Junglefowl · 22/08/2017 11:00

Senua that is fabulous - I am tempted to stick to the Latin name as it sounds very learned Grin

Nigel and Kenneth are brilliant cat names. I may have to adopt two more cats just to give them those names.

Junglefowl · 22/08/2017 11:40

Gosh yes, I would. How many have you got so far?

I had a friend with a male cat - Mr Mewsli

CaptWentworth · 22/08/2017 13:58

I have two at the moment and I'm not allowed any more DH vetoed calling one of them Stephen Sad The saddest part is that he looks and talks just like Stephen Fry.

Smigbot · 29/08/2017 22:15

We have a budgie called Chicken. He's fab! Grin

Mellington · 29/08/2017 22:16

I had a pet called Snoopy... he was a horse!

LapCatLicker · 29/08/2017 22:18

You must name him Kevin

Meepmoop · 29/08/2017 22:21

I had sister cats called Ethel and Mabel.
Another cat called George and the dog is called Conan.
I'm all for people names for pets.

ChristinaParsons · 29/08/2017 22:26

We have had. Graham, Roy, Valerie, Wayne, Phillip, Marjorie as pet names but a budgie should always be called joey surely?

Silverdream · 29/08/2017 22:44

Cecil
Colin
Keith
Humphrey
Herbert
Malcolm

MaddeningtheUnhelpful · 29/08/2017 23:00

I had two blackmoor fish as a child that I named Tracey and Quentin
