    Hi All,

    I joined just so I could share with everyone that my new 7 week-old English bulldog puppy is named MEATBALL!!! I am so excited as she is my first pet ever as of 29 years. My boyfriend is an Italian chef so hence Meatball. We both love to wine and dine and so does Meatball. She is so cute and sweet. So happy.

    Have fun with your beloved canines.

    I rescued my 1st Presa Canario from an unwanted home when he was about 10 weeks old, he was sitting on the back seat as I rambled off names, I can't remember what the other people had been calling him, but I wanted a mighty name without making it sound like he was a mean dog (like killer out of the question), I collect everything and anything that is related to the killer whale, so finally I got it right I called him "Orca"

    I had 2 Huskey-Retriever mix puppies. One was cream and tan colored, with one blue eye and one brown. I named him Kahlua. The other was black and white. I named her Oreo. I also had a Springer Spaniel named Brownie, and a salt & pepper mini-schnauzer named Sprinkles. Now, I have 2 ferrets named Kloe and Kip, and a Carrain Terrier named Brutus.

    So, Kalhua, Oreo, Brownie, Sprinkles, Kloe, Kip, & Brutus. =]

    I hadn't had a dog of my own in a very long time. But my 2nd mom, (I call here that, because she is my best friends/sister's mom), has this really cute Tebiten Spainale she rescued from a shelter. This little girl was from a puppy mill, and was in horried condtion. However, after being saved, cleaned, and now in a home, her new name is 'Sha'ah'. Which is Hebrew for 'Happy go Lucky'. Which she very much is happy and haves a wonderful new home.

    But for a pet for me with a interesting name, was my cat before he died of the flea infestation of the house thanks to my aunt for bring them into my Grandma's house, and making it so bad that it killed three of the five cats we had at the time... Anyways, my cat was a Black and White Tuxsido breed, he was almost all black with a few white patches. I wanted a unique name for him, something of a different language. So since I was in the middle of studying Mythical creatures from Japan, such as their nine tailed fox, I decided to look up Japanese words to name the five cats. The one that became my baby, got the name 'Kage' (Ka-gay), which means 'Shadow'. Which as he grew older until the age 5 he was my personal shadow and wouldn't leave me be. Also he had a dogs personailty, he would do tricks for his food and treats.

    I named one of my pups, Zebulon Red because of his distinct personality and determination. He definitely was a fighter (fierce in love and true blue) and was super red as a pup (he was a sable sheltie). We had to put him down a couple of weeks ago.

    My other remaining sheltie is Mr. Cooper. He is our "beauty" boy and walks and barks like a man who means business but is truly a softy. We named him after the sitcom "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper." Don't call him "Coopie" unless you know him personally--otherwise, all others need to call him "Mr." --Deb

    I had a friend who had a black lab he named Big Dog.  About a year later, another black lab mix adopted him, so he thought to be clever and name her Little Dog.  He didn't know that Little Dog was still growing and soon grew to be quite a bit larger than Big Dog. Now it's just ironic.

    I have an all black cat that adopted me when I was 17.  I was going through this phase where I was interested in the card game Blackjack.  So that's what I named him.  We have long since shortened it to just Jack.

    My mom has a dog named Solo too! Although she didn't name her. Poor Solo came from a hoarder family. They actually took the time to name the dog but they had so many dogs that they couldn't care for them properly. Very sad, but at least now Solo is very happy.

    I think my dog Sephi has the most creative name. Her full name is Persephone (persefony), named from Greek mythology. Sephi passed away November 2011. The dogs I have now are Maya and Pierson. Maya is named from Matamaya or Mayadevi from Hindu mythology and Pierson is named from Pierson Park which is where I found him. Maya's nickname is Maya Papaya and Pierson's nickname is Mr. Fluffybutt.

    I like the cartoon character names mostly that I've heard. Rico is one my friend uses for their pet.  I have to say that this question kind of reminds me of security question asked for an acct. So, I'd be careful people. Yes, I am guarded sometimes.

    Few years ago I presented a Siamese kitten for grandma and I called him Joy. That names didn't suit him at all, as he was quite an angry cat.
    Also we had a badger-dog and named him Sponge. He was cute. Besides we had a cat called Caesar.
    But the funniest name for dog I have heard is Corgi named  Baguette big_smile

    I have had two Bassett Hounds named Lady and Cleo, one coon dog named Dolly, one Jack Russell Terrier named Digger, a black Chow named Eden, a yellow Lab named Pudding, and a black Lab named Crunch. I cared for a puppy for a couple days that I'm not sure what kind it was. He was a swirl of brown and black so I named him Django.
