What's the best pet name you've come across?

I'm partial to pets with very beige, mid-century human names like Colin, Dave, Alan, Brenda, Sandra, Deidre.

A lady I worked with once rescued a really vicious parrot and renamed him Thomas-a-Peckitt.

I've just got back from a dog walk where we met a giant, perfectly rounded, sandy coloured staffy called King Edward to reflect the fact he's basically a potato.

I can't stop smiling. I had to share it with someone.

I had a goldfish called Jaws when I was a kid, and I used to ride a horse with large ears called, unsurprisingly, Ears.

At one time or another I have come across - a white cat called Sooty, a dog who rejoiced in the name Lizzie Dripping, a chihuahua called Bonsai and a mouse named Stinky.

We had a goldfish called Jaws too. HIs friend was Bubbles.

The gerbil was Freddy-Shreddy-Whiskers.

I have a dog that I named Larry. I chose that because of the show " Impractical Jokers" That's the greatest show, in my opinion. I have a dog I got from the shelter, in February, a few years ago. Her name is Cupid. I have a few cats. Beau, Willis, because of the TV program, " Different Strokes". I have a little boy kitten that I need a name for. He is fearless, very sweet. Any suggestions?

Velvet (iron fist in), Dennis (the Menace), Bravo, Foo (Fighter).

We inherited a pair of cats when I was a teenager. One was a black and white tomcat called Adolf, so named because he had a patch of black hair exactly like a toothbrush moustache on an otherwise white face. The other was naturally called Eva Braun.
