Other Why did you name your pet(s) that? : )

[soches]

lol she came with it

 

[FaallenAngelx]

I have a Dog his name is Lou. I've named him after the Beagle Puppy from the movie "Cats and Dogs"


Then I have also two Guinea Pigs. Max & Sam. Sam has his name from Sam of Supernatural


My Rabbit's name which died 1 month ago was Jinxx. He was named after Jinxx from Black Veil Brides. (I was a big fan of them some years ago xD )

I have a 6 year old half-giant houserabbit named Pooka. I originally heard the name in the animated film, Anastasia, as that is the name of the puppy in the film, however when I actually looked up the name, it turned out to be the name of a creature from Irish folklore that can shapeshift, and one of the forms it often takes is a black rabbit. And so my baby bunny was named Pooka, and has been for over 6 years now.

 

[Kestrel]

My sister had a sugar glider. He's named Vex, after the Skyrim thief. He's mine, but I kept his name. I got him a friend over spring break, and I named her Astrid to keep with the Skyrim theme.


Eponine is my parakeet. I was in my school's production of Les Miserables, and Eponine is one of my favorite characters.


Jade is a dusky headed conure, and she's mostly green.


Inali is Cherokee for 'black fox'. She was my family's Siberian Husky.

 

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

I have so many pets.


Xia because she came as Avenpart Xeria and Xia is far easier to say.


Pickle because we got her from the pound where she was going to be put down, thus we got her out of a pickle.


Zante and Cienna because we had naming themes for our litters, and these two had 'obscure grapes'. So Zante Currants and Cienna became our dogs. Two of them.


Larry because he's a bird, so Larry Bird. My dad likes the Boston Celtics. (Celtics fan for life!)


Graeme because... shit, I don't remember. He's a right shit, though. I think we named him after Graeme Garden. Graeme as in Graham.


Rain and Boe because they're Rainbow Lorikeets. Rain Boe. Rainbow.


Sondar because that was a rock formation or some shit near where she was born.


Jormungandr or Jormun because I'm a Norse Mythology fan and I had a snake. What else am I gonna call her?


Bill because he's a scruffy little guinea pig., just like Bill Oddie when he was in the Goodies.


Jester because patchwork black and white coat reminded us of a jester.


Audrey because we just decided that was a good name.


We have a lot of pets.

 

[Street Light]

I did name an old dog I had once Fluffulufugus.

 

[Bum Bear]

1. Sally - Golden Retriever - Because I was in love with the Cat in the Hat movie at the time, and ally had been the only girl name that I remembered. Technically was not my animal since the owner came to pick her up after leaving her at my house.


2. Angel - Maltese Poodle - I was super lame and saw him sleep in my arms and thought he was an Angel. It might have also been because I had a crush on a boy named Angel as well during the time.


3. Smeagol - Chihuahua Mix - My dad named him. He found the dog ugly and in reference to the Lord of the Ring's Gollum he decided on the worse sounding name.


4. Thor - Boxer - Another dog dad named. He was named after the Norse God or more so the Marvel adaptation of him, Thor, because he simply gave no fucks. Ran into the wall, came out like Odin. Wondered why we didn't name him that.


5. Blacky - German Shepherd - A stray dog I found in my front yard. She was black, hence the continuation of my bad naming skills.


6. Chonchoo - Pitbull - Another stray dog in the front, didn't name her though. The cousin did, as to why. She has just as bad naming skill as I do.


7. Chloie - Labrador/Pitbull mix - Cousin/ my dog. She named her Chloie (yes, this is how she spelled it), because she wanted her to be "different" from other dogs of her breed I guess. Didn't really help much.


8. Scarlet - Pitbull - Another dog my dad named. This time he was just looking for a cool name, and so he named her after the Marvel character, Scarlet Witch.


9. John - Turtle - He felt like a John.

 

[Renny]

My dog's name is "Kimpoy". I think I forgot by now, but I'm pretty sure it was based on an actor named "Keempee", probably because of how he looked.

 

[BlossomPaw]

I had 6 fish- Monica, Rachel, Ross, Joey, Chandler and Phoebe. I named them after the characters of Friends. Sadly, Joey and Chandler jumped out the tank.


I can still remember throwing a cushion at Chandler accidentally without realising he was there.

 

[Ammagaruqnik]

Charlie, because my mom at the time wouldn't let me name our pug "Frank" after the pug in Men in Black ....

 

[RidingaStar]

My mom named my corgi Elfyn. Mom says it means 'elf friend' in Welsh. Because he was a Pembroke WELSH Corgi. Hah hah. You're hilarious, mom.) We usually called him 'Elf', 'Yoda', and 'Fluff-butt'

 

[Katsuya]

I had a German shepherd/ Chow chow mutt and her name was Scooby. My cousin thought it fit since she tends to run away unless it's to protect the young ones AKA me, and younger cousins.

 

[Dazai]

My black cat "Thirteen" after Olivia Wilde's role on the television series, "House" because they both have similar eyes. Haha, it comes off as a surprise to most because it isn't the reason everyone thinks it is.

 

[SuspendersBoy]

My dogs name is Marly short for Marbles because of her marbled skin pattern.

 

[Techno Cat]

This is Odin, so named after the Norse god who sacrificed his eye to gain wisdom and power. We adopted him after he lost his eye, and he is just the cutest king of the gods ever to grace the mortal realms.
