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.

King Edward is a great name. My previous neighbour used to have this really cute and a very friendly dog being called Albert. He always made me smile.

We had a hamster called Big Phil. A friend's family had a big ginger tom cat who I think had a different original name but just became Ginger Roberts when adopted by the Roberts family. Another friend's family had cats called Brian and Henry.

Hopped on to an old username in case anyone recognise this from real life but 40+ years ago we knew a couple with two spaniels called Joe and Pearl.

Also had friends that had inherited a sort of guard dog called Captain, and they added a second one and called it Tennille.

I’ve only just realised why my friends cocker poo is called Jarvis. I thought it was because they like music.
