Do you name your pets?

[onestrangekitten]

I apologize if this has been posted before, but I was wondering if you named your pets? I name all mine after video game characters, and name each set after characters in the same game (Mario & Luigi, for example). Then I take a sharpie and mark the initial on the bottom of their foot. Does anyone else do this?

Yes, I'm immature, btw. I just don't care.

Yes, my daughter and I name all our LPS pets--we are still working on some our names--we jumped from 42 pets 2 weeks ago to 98 a week ago (my daugter had her 8th b-day) and asked all her family and friends for ONLY lps--they all obliged her request and she racked up (obviously)--does anybody have any cool cat and dog names they would like to share?

onestrangekitten--you are scaring me a little bit--becuase I was going to ask the same exact question EARLIER today--and then I got sidetracked--so I'm glad you asked--

I want to... but I haven't really come up with any.

My daughter names all of hers.....she draws picture sof them and then their name which comes in handy when there are so many and sometimes you forget

My daughter names all of her pets and draws pictures of them too. She is soo cute.

chihuahuamamma--that is so precious --I love her drawing--How old is she (if you do not mind me asking--I understand if you do not want that kind of personal info. out)? I think we are going to borrow one of the names on her list--freckles--for our springer spaniel--that's perfect!

That's so funny -- our springer is named freckles too -- it was the name of a puppy on one of my son's puzzles. My daughter has every pet named and we now have them all. Many are named after characters from movies or books (we have tramp, lady, and scamp[lady and the tramp] and Oliver, Tito, Francis, Georgette and Rita [Oliver and Company]) and a lot are named after the pets of everyone we know. The rest I don't know where they came from -- some are pretty funny (the iguanas are named Biggie and Girlfriend, there's a bunny named Mr. Boing and a dog named Wake-up). Half the fun of playing for me is just to hear her call them all by name. ;D

I love your daughter's pictures chihuahuamama! My daughter also keeps inventory of her pets in a spiral notebook. She describes each one and then names them ALL. Some of her names include: Precious for the white Persian cat, Bruiser for the bull dog,Cinnamon for the brownish bunny, Hopper for one of the white bunnies, grey bunny with spots is Dottie, The orange guinea pig is Tubby and the iguanas are Iggy and Ziggy. When she has doubles she names them names like Mary Kate and Ashley or Aj and Ally etc. I too find it amusing to see what she comes up with. It is VERY important to her that each one has a name. That is usually the first thing she does when she gets one. One of my favorites is a dog that came with flower sunglasses that she named Hollywood.

I came up with names for two of my pets recently...goldfish is Sushi and the skunk is Flora.

Serenemoongoddess, she is 9 years old. She is soo sweet.

i named the two iguanas Legu and Aan,
becuz iguana is leguaan in dutch
and the dog that came with the chihuahua is named Krantenlezer, it means newspaperreader.
i have putted the glasses that came with the snowset on him, its really funny!

[MLPMom]

I don't but my daughter has names a few of her favorites ones, namely the Siamese, pinkand white poodle and one of the dogs I think. There may be more of them, sometimes the names seem to change so it is hard to keep track of what she calls them, lol.

[aslylas]

Yes i name all of mine but instead of writing them down I memorize them. Heres a good idea for naming a pet just think of something interesting like Tekoa or you could name it the first thing that comes to your mind.
