We heard on the radio today about a somebody who’s named their dogs after rock stars. We’ve been at it too. We had Lzzy and Slash in aquarium and now we have dogs called Myles (Kennedy) and Ronnie (James Dio). How do you name your pets?
I knew someone who called them all Dave. Kept things simple, I suppose.
Short names, one syllable, easy to shout - like with kids.
Those criteria are less useful for all his fish. Questionable whether it’s work on a rabbit too.
Gotta start somewhere!
Many years ago we had two dogs (one male, one female) called Mulder and Scully.
I remember quite a funny comment on the Trashfuture podcast a while ago, about a reversal in naming convention.
Someone observed that the sort of person who drives a big posh Range Rover would give thier daughter a name like Binkie and the dog would be called Sarah.
A lot of mine have been named after food. Kind of weird now that I think about it, it wasn’t really intentional, it just fit their personalities at the time.
No pets at the moment but will use white goods manufacturers in future - Ariston, Zanussi, Smeg etc.
I know a couple that use the phonetic alphabet.
I name them after the first thing i see when i pick them up. I’ve got three cats, Holly, Daisy and two-dogs-fucking.
Charlie, Whiskey, alpha, juliet, mike, Oscar, romeo, Victor sound good. Also quite like echo.
Papa, India, Lima, November, zulu questionable.
Golf, hotel, xray, Quebec are asking for trouble.
