What odd names have your given your pets?
Here are some of mine:

-George

-Molly

-Alex

-Alice (aka Deedles, Dee, The Dee Kitten)

-Sarah

-Tom Kitten

-Sally MacLennane
(While these are not odd names in and of themselves,
I find it odd when we give animals human names.)

-Phloem (the part of a vascular bundle consisting of
sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma, and fibers
forming the food-conducting tissue of a plant.)

-Xylophone (aka Xylene)

-Tip (aka Notorious T.I.P., Tip O'Neill,
They Call Me Mistuh Tip)

-Flip (aka Flink)

-Marble Cake

I'd love to hear more pet names
from whoever wishes to contribute!

  5. Ricky (his sister was Lucy).

    Our current cats are named Pinky -- we weaned her as a kitten and her belly was pink, and Twitchy -- a stray given to us by a neighbor. We didn't know what to name him, were thinking about Itchy or Scratchy (from The Simpsons) and saw him asleep and twitching his claws.

  7. When I was a kid we had a dog named George, and a cat nammed Winnie.

    Dean used to raise Great Danes and named them after his favorite Neil Diamond songs: Shilo, Sweet Caroline, Cracklin" Rosie, Brother Love . . . etc.

Siamese cats Ratsky and Ting, cockerpoo-ish dog Fluffy, Molly the black cat , Prader the fat cat (named for the disease, Prader-Willy, that requires a lock on the fridge for uncontrolled eating as the cat did), Charlotte and Lucy standard poodles, and Wishabelle the kitten that ran/got away when still very young.
