I've grown up with animals since I was very young. The first dog I had was named "Nana" and I named her after my favorite movies 'Snow Dogs' and 'Peter Pan'. She was a German Short Haired Pointer. We currently have an English Springer Spaniel named "Dexter" and we named him after the tv series 'Dexter'. My grandfather used to have a Miniature Poodle and we named her "Peaches" because of her Apricot color. Unfortunately, we had to put her down a while back because she had gotten ill and we didn't want her to be in pain. She is now with my German Short Haired Pointer "Nana". My grandfather and I recently adopt a pure black kitten, her name is "Dasher" because she Dashes all over the place, and she'll be a year old on November 18th :) Hope this helps.

I have a Corhuahua (half Corgi and half Chihuahua) named Finn. His full name is Finnian Draco. When he was born he was all white. Finnian means white/fair in Irish and Draco of course is Latin for Dragon. His name is kind of ironic because he is a little guy (but don't tell him that because he thinks that he's a Husky).

My first dog was named Princess. The next 2 dogs were named 'P' names. The first animal not named starting with a P got out and we never found her, the next one not named starting with a P got hit by a car. The names have started with P ever since.

I've always thought the smaller the pet the bigger the name should be. History & mythology are good sources for names. All my cats were named for Egyptian gods & pharaohs. I started w/Cleopatra & Rameses & now have Sekhmet & Osiris. Just remember that too many syllables in a name can be hard for the pet to learn. Enjoy your companion.

Sadly, Cleopatra & Rameses rule in pet heaven. They lived to 17 & 11 respectively. Happily though, Sekhmet & Osiris are still being worshipped on my couch daily.

I am managing a long term construction project in a pretty remote part of So. China. A lot of creepy things find there way into my apartment. So I had the company get me a cat. They got me one about 4 months old I had a friend (Zak) growing up. Always in trouble.. always in the middle of a fight. I didn't know what to name the cat until he took on and killed a spider (in my bedroom) almost as big as him.. instant "Zak".. he patrols the apartment like a commando. love this little guy, been here a year now and he has kept me safe from the " creatures" he's coming home with me when this project is over. He's earned it

I have a puggle that I found wondering the streets, her name is Gypsy and her name fits her perfectly. She steals everything that is laying around and eats everything she can find

My ex gf thought I named my dog after a porn star because she happened to find some porn with the same name lol..... when in reality I asked for a list of names and picked one from that.
