Pet names you've inflicted on your poor companions…

[Rose]

Well, nick names for my current boys: Not Danny (Romeo comes when I call Danny), Stinky, Jealousy (is that spelled right?, Romeo gets really jealous over attention given to Danny), Picky, Sukems, and Mush Buckets

Previous pets: Balshazar, Bally (black dragon, type of goldfish) Black Magic, Blacky
Wrinkles, Garbage Can (named by Mom, He had them when we got him 🙄 She still insists we named him)
Many other pets but, they had not so intersting names.

Not mine, but, dogs I knew:
Maggie and D.O.G
Caliko
Maxine (not abnormal… but, it was a male)
Salt and Pepper
Suki
Jade
Trinity
Big Guy
Sugar
Shadow (since he was scared of his own shadow, litterally)
Many, many more

[Megan]

Currently, these guys live either at home with me or at my dad’s place.

Cats:
Nikko (aka Spawn of Satan) — black shorthair
James Pierre (aka James Bond, or Double 0 Dingbat) — clumsy longhaired tabby tiger

Dogs (both Goldens were rescues and came named):
Maxx — black Labrador (blind, diabetic)
Honey — female Golden retriever
Gus — male Golden retriever (also blind)

Horses (chestnut Missouri Fox Trotters):

Snakes (my brother’s…):
Cora Anne (aka sushi roll) — King snake

Hermit Crabs:

Guinea pig: Dante Labonte (aka the Cocoa Bean)

Fish:

Bobber — enormous goldfish
Sango, Shinju, Koryu, and Hakkai — smaller koi

And of course there’s Leigha (aka Princess Dingo) and Czar (aka Zih’Zih), dogs who I recently lost and miss terribly… they were royalty and knew it.

Dogs:
Scarlet: German Shepard/Black Lab- when I first got her, she whined so much, but still persevered (she was a shelter puppy), so it was fitting she’d be named after Scarlet O’Hara who had the same characteristics.
Dice: Beagle- named after a Puppy in your Pocket beagle toy
Bruno: German Shepard- named by the person who gave him to us.

Squirrel:
Squeakers– named after the squirrel in the Serendipity book.

Rabbits:
Toni: Dwarf – was adopted and the original owner named it Tonita but didn’t know he was a male >.> so I altered it a bit.
Loki: Mini Lop – named after Matt Damon’s character in “Dogma” who is named after the Norse God of Mischief.

Beta fish:
Fluffy– because I thought it was amusing to name him that.

My sister’s birds:
Basil-Green Conure, Pooka-Blue Crowned Conure

Family Gerbils:
Some of them:
Super Duper Maker Shaker Baker Mars Bars (My sister named him), Gali, Pic, Logan

Family Fish:
Some of them:
Genesis, Gabriel, Garfield, Torro,

Family Cats:
Oreo– because of his color. Herbie, Cookies

Family Parakeets:
Butter, Chloei

[Mirrako]

I forgot about the geese we raised when I was little! 😯

We had a really cool white goose and her name was Downy. She kept trying to hatch her eggs (no gander) so we bought 3 goslings and stuffed them under her while she was ‘setting’ on her nest. She raised them and they were named Snap, Crackle, and Pop! 😆

They were so tame that we would all jump in the old car–geese, too–and drive down the steep hill to the Colorado river (in Austin, TX). We’d all go swimming, and when it was time to go, we hollered at Downy and her brood. They would swim back to us, waddle back to the car, climb in the back floorboard, and up the hill we would go!

They were really good ‘watchdogs’, too! Way louder than our ‘regular’ guardians… 😀

Sweet! I’ve always enjoyed names, and I remember the animals’ before I can remember the humans’. I’m always saying, “you’re so-and-so’s mom/dad, aren’t you?”

That’s neat. I didn’t know geese would take directions like that.

[lamortefille]

That is a really neat story about the geese. Cute names, too. 😆

I also like the beta named Fluffy. 😉

[Mirrako]

Geese love playing ‘follow the leader’. Watch the movie “Fly Away Home”–they did the same thing.

I love it because it brings back lots of childhood memories–Snap and Pop were Canada geese, too! 😀
