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’ve had/ have cats named Roger Park, Jack Crane and Arthur Alien

A King Charles Spaniel called Carlos which I thought was so clever!

A crazy dog called Richard Head. True to his name in every way.

I knew someone with a black cat called Morticia

DSis has Pat ( the cat )

Ex and I had a lizard name Herbert Nigel Geoffrey Greaves the First 🤣

A friend's cat was Mr Tomkins.

A dog we knew as kids was Trolley Box.

I know a cat named Mister Pickles, a hamster called Mark, and a dachsund called Miss Marple.

My friend has a fluffy tabby called Kevin Moon. Our neighbour's cat, who spends most of his life in our house, is called Ralph.

I used to have a lovebird called Samantha.

My colleague's cat is called Christopher Marlowe. She's* an English teacher.

*My colleague, not the cat.

A mate of mine had a cat called Laptop.

My mum rescued a young hedgehog found on her street years ago, the assorted kids on her street all saw and she asked them what he should be called. 9 out of the 10 said Spike but one lad said Eric so he became Spikey Eric. He over wintered in her downstairs loo on a diet of cat food and visited her for some time after he was released.

When she had another young hog a few years later he wad called Spiney Norman.

As a child I had a rabbit my dad named Pie - my horse was King Edward AKA Eddie, and I’ve had cats called Colin and Dave!!!

These are fantastic.

We always rescue dogs so they generally come with names.
But me and DH have always talked about naming a dog Evious Mingo, after Barkevious Mingo the NFL player. A bit niche

Great names we've heard whilst sitting in the Vet's waiting room - George Quinn (a very serious looking boxer dog, his name made him sound like a BBC reporter) and Pumpkin Thomas (orange cat)

I had a cat called Ceefer. Once when listening to a radio programme where you had to phone in about pet names someone said they knew a parrot called Mr Smithers, which I think is a great name.

My dog had been named Avril at the rescue centre. When we were matched they said I could choose her name as she’d only been Avril for a week. (Previous unnamed street dog). There’s no way she was an Avril Lavigne as she’s a mature lady with a beautiful wise face - so Joni Mitchell it is. We recently met an Elton dog on holiday which was very exciting too.

We used to have guinea pigs called Bellatrix and Luna!

The Wyrd Cats are Edie (or Edith Minton Sedgwick - her namesake - when she's naughty) and Piper (named after my daughter's favourite character in Neighbours at the time!).

I have plans to add two more cats and a cavapoo when I can work a bit less - they will be Betty, Doreen and Ralph 😁.

A friend had a vicious rabbit called Attila the Bun

We had a stick insect called St Stickolas
a cat called Colin

We have Dave the cat

There was an old lady near me year’s ago who had a white poodle called Teresa. 😁

I know a cat called Gary! It’s very young so probably not the same.
A friend called their cat Cooker, short for Cooking Fat. ( spoonerism)

My gorgeous little boy was called mr Bojangles. Unfortunately I lost him 10 weeks ago. He will always be my baby boy

Our new Serbian rescue doggo has been graced with Dogtor Indiana Bones, due to his intrepid adventuring to get to us. Indy for short.
