Pet Names

[brisray]

These two were Bill and Ben and named after a couple of children's TV puppets. I got them shortly before these photos were taken in August 1997.

Their favourite hobby was bringing slow worms and grass snakes into the house and letting them go. They used to wait at the bus stop for me to get home from work.

Getting them to the US in 2001 was more expensive than what it cost me, but I wouldn't let them go. Both long gone, they died within weeks of each other in 2012, but they were so much fun.

His name is Moogle because he is white and fluffy like a Moogle from Final Fantasy.

My stepdad had a black rescued street-dog from Poland, she was named Nocka. She acted more like a cat than a dog, and would cower when someone raised their arm too high around her I found out long after she died "nocka" means "night" in polish.

Then my brother had a dwarf hampster named Pixel! The name was stolen from a popular swedish gaming youtuber's pet rat.

My childhood cat was a calico named mama-san, because my mom had watched karate kid before adopting her and she had kittens beforehand.

We adopted a cat in 2016 that I named little sister, after the dog in Mulan with a similar name.

A few months later we adopted a cat that I named Yoki, after the name yoko, as I was a fan of the Beatles and the rosemary wells book.

We got a third cat named baby, we didn't have control over her name but we also call her little lady.

My aunt has a big fat cat named Humphrey, he's a silly grouch of a longhaired cat.

I named my cat Billup after the Solange track cranes in the sky. She sings "I ran my credit card bill up" and I just knew in that moment my baby boy had the perfect name... to this day i've only found one other pet named Billup, but he's a snake(literally, hah). My Billup is a flame point with an upside down cross between his eyes.

My partner's cat Chester is also pretty great! we call him chester the jester coz he's he's always clowning around

i only have one dog named nita, a rottweiler-alaskan malamute mix, im not sure the origins of her name but im pretty sure it was because my pa always called her nieta and somewhere along the way we dropped the e. however, one of my close friends has this white and orange speckled cat named burger king (bk for short) despite being a girl.
