So are we doing just dogs? Pocco - Thought it up off the top of my head. Most people pronounce it wrong. Its pronounced Paw-ko. Not Poke-o. Sysco - Mom named him after a food company. (Ironic, since he ended up becoming overweight) She wanted to use the name for a cockatoo, but decided we aren't allowed to get any birds other than chickens, so she used the name for him instead.

Zagari Wolf · February 2008

Dogs DJ - Dutchess Junior. Yes, it's a girls' name, but heck, I was eight when I named him. My previous dog was Dutchess and she "disappeared." Later to be found out that she was shot by the neighbor. Emily Rose - Emily from an ep. of the Dog Whisperer. There was a troubled, very over-weight pit bull/staffy named Emily. Rose came from her rose-colored nose and her rose ears. Cats Destiny May - I named her after a boy I liked at school named Destin. Goodness!!! I was in 3rd grade at the time. I'm not sure where May came from. Angel Marie - It was about two weeks before Christmas and I had narrowed it down to Angel or Holly. I liked Angel better, so that's what I named her. Marie after my best friend at the time.

BeautifulOblivion · February 2008

Dixie- I'm from the south and for a Golden retriever it just seemed to fit. Sunny- After Dixie died my grandfather got her and after we had picked her up and we were driving home we were thinking about what to name her and I saw a Sunbelt (I think that's what it was called... Sun something) store. And I thought she looked like a Sunny. Plus she was the sunshine that pulled me from a darkness. Sally- ...I think my mom chose this because it goes well with Sunny since they're inseperable now... Fizz- he was a kitten that my sister had found. He was the color of Coke fizz. We didn't get to keep him very long though.

Jasper · February 2008

Jasper- My uncle went there and came back with a hat and we all voted on Jasper x3 Cody: It suted him very well. for some reason. Zack: From cody, ya know Zack and Cody the show? xDDD Crumbles: she likes to eat crumbs and her markings kinda looked like crumbs. Raven: Shes black and is a chicken and sorta looks like a raven. Tea Biscuit: From the race horse Sea Biscuit, but we changed the Sea to Tea xD these are only a handfull of my pets, I don't want to make a huge post on all of my pets names x.X

Silver Husky · February 2008

Dogs: Pepsi - When he was puppy my mom was trying to think of a name and he suddenly jumped on her and knocked over the can of pepsi she was drinking, then he jumped down and drank all the pepsi that spilled out. I was only 18 months old so it was her idea. Tipper - Because of the white tip on her tail. Samantha - Oh god, I remember I wanted to name her Bananas or Creampuff originally(I was 7!) O.o Thankfully my mom talked me out of it, so I sat down, stared at her, and decided she looked like a Samantha. Cat: Christaphor/Christy - Well, when you're 5 you don't really know how to tell a male kitten from a female kitten so "she" turned out to be a he, thus a name change. Parakeets: Chris - Um, not real sure :P Rose - Not sure either, maybe because Rose is one of my middle names? Fish: Obviously, I can't remember what I named all the fish I've had since I was 3, so I'll jut go with the last 3 I remember. :P Splasher - He splashed me when the Petco person put him in the bag -_- Goldilocks - Goldfish, goldilocks...real oringinal XD, I was compleatly guessing the fish was a girl, I really have no clue how to tell goldfish genders apart. O.o Buddy - My beta, boring name for a boring fish. My mom eventually gave him away as a Valentines present to her secert pal at work.

SummerMoon · February 2008

xD I only have dogs Zeus - hercules :P Dakota - bought her from a breeder in south dakota Echo - when she was a puppy her bark was so loud it would echo like... everywhere xD Razzle - he's crazy xD Dazzle - she shows off (: Duke - he's our biggest berner and we were going to name him king, but he's an english import so my mom decided on duke Ryleigh (ry-lee) - dunno xD just named her Rooney - one of my favorite bands Rain - im pretty sure when her litter was born it was raining Denali - idk xD pretty name though yes? Kea - this one i don't know about either. Baloo - the jungle book obviously :P Journey - dunno either. just came up with it on VP chat xD Titan - he's huge? lmao

EA*Kennel · February 2008

Ike - It was my dads bosses name at the time and he said it would be good so if he had a bad day at work he could kick the dog, so it would be like kicking his boss. Also we all through it fitted him. **(my dad has never kicked re dog please note, he was only mucking around when saying it)**

Nikkiamii · February 2008

Mine will be the most unoriginal ever. Bird - because he's a bird and I never could decide what to call him so it stuck. Kitty - because when they were kittens I didn't know if they were boys or girls and kitty was pretty generic. Baby cat - again because I didn't know her gender and by the time I'd figured it out it had stuck.

IRawrSkittles · February 2008

Ah, here Roxanne [Roxy] (dog)-We were driving home with her, and I just thought she looked like a Roxy.

SandPiper · February 2008

Onyx - Well... he's an all black GSD. His coat was shiny, even after nearly a week at the shelter, so he looked kinda like the Onyx stone. Not the pokemon. Ace - A tattoo dude, actually, kinda sparked this for me. I was up near Canada, to adopt him, and the tattoo dude had this really nice picture of a malicious wolf on the ace of spades card. Kona - Ever heard of Kona coffee? I dunno, I love it and my brother always brews it for me. She's a choc lab, so it fits. ^.^

Jackdaw · February 2008

Roland got his name from this poem <a href="http://plagiarist.com/poetry/5841/"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://plagiarist.com/poetry/5841/</a> All the others were either already named when we got them, or their names are just sort of random words that stuck. XD

~Topleaf~ · March 2008

Dog: Phoebe: Mom Birds: Olive: He is olive in colouring, and we didn't know he was male until after like 5 months, so then I kind of changed it to Oliver

Storm: Her real name is Spring Storm, cause it was a spring storm the night I got her. Willow: I liked the name, cause her softness reminds me of the calming effects of willow trees (Don't ask) And my mom said Willow trees were yellow, which makes me smile inside XD Bettas: Zara: A princess was named that

Rain: She is the colour blue, and reminds me of rain. Whisper: Kind of came to mind. Ice: He is the colour of ice. Aro: Inspired by the Twilight Series. I won't go into my guppies lol. You don't want to know how I invented names for 30 of them and remembered

Oh, and my Platy is named Akari Which means brightness, and she is like bright orange and red. And my three White Clouds are named Tic, Tac, and Toe

PishPosh · March 2008

My golden retriever has this colour, like no other golden. It is almost pure red with a hint of orangy yellow. So we named he Rosie, as in she looks like the color of a rose. And for my guniea pig, lol, well when we got him he jumped alot so we named him Mr. Wiggles. xD

Aziu · March 2008

Dogs: Gatsby - After The Great Gatsby, parents named him 'cause I came later and while they like the book, I hate it. Ambri - Alteration of "amber" since she was buff colored. Savvy - My doing; we got him shortly after my obsession with Pirates of the Caribbean took hold, so he got named after Jack's catchphrase. :P (Mom wanted "Mocha" and dad wanted "Hunter" so those got tacked on loosely.) Horse: Scout - Absolutely no clue. That was his call name when we bought him, and it has absolutely nothing to do with his registered name, so I just wonder...lol.

TashaWasha · March 2008

Birds: Kissy: ...Let my step-dad name him... I really don't know what he was thinking. ;P Pinkey: Her feet were so Pink when I got her and she just seemed like a Pinkey. ^^ (Her feet's grey'er now) Fish: R.B. Sister came up with the name off the top of her head for her fish... Those are the only three pets we've named in or house hold, the R.B.'s the only fish with a name. XD

Dark Flame · March 2008
