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 was a rather nerdy teen so I had a few pets with Shakespearean names. My favourite of the names was my goldfish who was called Sir Toby Belch.

Eamonn the shitszu. The kids called it after their school principle ( not my kids). Our cats have first name, middle name and confirmation name thanks to my DD16. Regularly get called my their full name when they are being cheeky.

A colleagues dog is called Jeff.

My housemate got a kitten years ago, and it was very cute but had a very triangular face so we called it Gail, after Gail Tilsley from Corrie.

My childhood best mate had a dog called Crawford, so named as he was crackers.
