The super cool name of our new zon member here on PF, Justice (!!) Got me thinking...have you every had a pet with a 'different' or interesting name? And how did the name come about? Let's share some stories
I will start -
My most beloved pet ever, whom I still miss every day after having to set her free from the pain of hip displacement at 14 yo last year, was my precious. Mulan - named for the cartoon Japanese warrior girl of the same name. My Mulan was born wearing 'makeup' - beautiful black eyeliner around her eyes . It has been almost a year and I still miss 'Moobooloo' (the silly nickname I gave her at some point ).
Percy's name is not 'interesting' perse but it IS a 'mistake'. My boss, who got him from his previous owner to give to me, had misheard the name the old owner gave her and told me, when delivering him that his name is Percy. She later messaged me to say his name was actually 'Dizzy'. I thought that was a silly name (and coincidentally, we had had a dwarf hamster a few years back named Dizzy Lizzy) so we stuck with 'Percy'
A colleague has a big black dog of onknown heritage, whose name is Juggernaut! Quite frankly, I think that Juggernaut is THE best name ever for a dog!! So very cooool . The colleague used to be a miletary man and named his dog for some or other milletary(sp??) term.
A friend has a massive Great Dane boy whose name is Tinky (short for Tinkerbell) LOL!
Oh, and growing up, I remember our neighbour having a rottweiler named Dustbin! I can't remember how the poor animal got saddled with that name LOL! (For members in other countries who may not know - a 'dustbin' in my country is a large garbage can, usually kept outside to dump household refuse in before it gets taken away by the municipality)
Any fun names you care to share?
