I was over on another site and came across a list of the top ten dog and cat names. It went on to say that the trend towards using human names is driven by people who view pets like children. Some animals are named after famous shows, some after Harry Potter and so on...I know alot of members have pets, including more than dogs and cats and was wondering what and why did you name your pets what you did. I have a dog named Ficus, we were listening to U2 when we named him original.gif and the two cats are Skittles and Candy named by the grandkids when they were little...So here's the list of the most popular names.

Dogs:

1. Max
2. Buddy
3. Molly
4. Maggie
5. Jake
6. Daisy
7. Lucy
8. Rocky
9. Bailey
10.Sadie

Cats:

1. Max
2. Tigger
3. Tiger
4. Chloe
5. Smokey
6. Lucy
7. Cleo
8. Princess
9. Oliver
10.Simba

Call my dog fathead his real name is chico but its funny when he answers to fathead.

Now a topic I really love wub.gif
I had a cat names Corky and her 2 boy kittens Summit and Echo.... happy.gif
I had 2 Timber Wolf sisters named Tumoni and Owache. I miss them terribly. crying.gif
I had an Artic Wolf named Bounty but it was too hot where I lived so we gave him to a wonderful home and now he plays in the snow thumbsup.gif
and right now I have a Bird named monkey. He was originally named Spike but after we discovered him hanging upside down and making noises like a monkey we had to change it! lol
And my two dogs...Macy is a Chihuahua. She was just so tiny and girly she needed a girlie name and Dooma is a girl and she is a Ridgeback/Timber Wolf hybred. She got her name from my nephew because he wanted to name her Doom so he can put a sign on our fence that said "BEWARE OF DOOM" but we said if she is a girl we should change it so its more girlie and Tada! Dooma. lol. grin2.gif
LOKI1335
LOKI IS MY BIG DOGS NAME...AKITA/HUSKY CROSS. PURE WHITE WITH SKY BLUE EYES. NAMED AFTER GOD OF MISCHIEF BECAUSE, WELL, HE'S MISCHIEVOUS.

We have a dog named "Brownie" and a cat named "Reecee" both girls. We have what I call a "sweet tooth" obsession when naming pets since most of our animals had or have sweet treat related names.
Example: We used to have a couple hamsters (before the cat) which were named "Oreo" and "Pez".
The only two that didn't have the "sweet tooth" names were two other hamsters named "Pikachu" (because of my stepson's pokemon obsession back then) and "Ivan" (Ivan was named after a hurricane that hit Florida).

Edited so many times because of tiredness starting to get to me.

My cat's name is Cuddles, blush.gif My late wife named her. It is kind of embarrassing calling her in house, but I can't bring myself to change it.

We have a cat named Sally. I had adopted her from the SPCA in June and asked my son what we should name her. Sally is what he came up with. I used to own two other cats, but they are living with my parents. Their names are Kenichi, after the Iron Chef, and Cydney. I named her after the actress/dancer Cyd Charisse. I loved the name. But I am also a big Pink Floyd fan and so it is also after Syd Barrett..just different spelling.

Cyd is getting on in years, though. She's about 10 years old now. She's still cuddly and playful, just slower sad.gif

Our current dog is a beagle, we got her from the previous owners, who named her Penny Marshall. Don't ask! I call her Penny-Lope! We used to have a male beagle named Barkley. His pet name was Bunny-goat. We couldn't decide if he acted more like a bunny or a goat. Roscoe Bosco was a wonderful deep reddish Golden Retriever. And my favorite name of all was our first Golden. She was so skittish, we called her Chicken Mc Nugget! Nuggie for short.

Dog; Toblerone, like the chocolate bar, but I call him Toby. It was because of his shape, like the Toblerone box. He's half Chihuahua half Min Pin, black & tan.

Cats:
Flower; my youngest daughters cat. Named so because Cajun thought she was as 'beautiful and soft as a flower' NOT after the skunk from Bambi. Her middle name is 'Pott'.
Flower looks like a Himalayan without the flat face. She's actually just domestic combo, lol. (I actually owned her parents and B4 I could get the mom cat spayed, the deed was done. I didn't even know she was in heat!!!)
Blight; Cajun brought this one home from a meth house (they didn't cook it, but smoked it like it was going outta style) and the ppl never had any food for their cats, plus Blight had a messed up back leg, was wormy & dirty & skinny, so Cajun ganked her and brought her home & named her. (Black+white+Blight, lol) Then she decided Blight was MY cat because she was a trouble maker and Cajun had to keep her out of her bedroom...Blight has been my best bud ever since!
Kevin; It's actually 'Little Kevin' the neighbor got arrested and the manager was going to call the pound to come get the Mom cat & 4 kittens but all us neighbors gave them homes instead. I walked 'Kevin' over to my apt to show Cajun and discuss (like rational people) if we could manage to care for another cat...well, she laid eyes on him (orange tabby) snatched him out of my hands, yelled 'Mine!' and ran up the stairs with him! Kevin is her BF's name...sappy, I know, but he totally looks like a Kevin!

Edit: I would post pics, but they're all over my MySpace, lol. I don't want to saturate the internet with them.
Mr.Peabody
we have a cat named Chubby. All 14 lbs of him.

Right now i don't have any pets because of our apt. is too close to loads of insane traffic. But there is a cat who visits me, a persian siamese. I don't know who she belongs to, but she's healthy, no fleas, and seems spoiled to the max! I just say hi there miss Fancy as she walks in and takes over everything including my computer when i'm trying to use it! And she answers to that name when i call her that, but who knows what her owners call her? She does think she owns me, and gets annoyed when hubby wants to sit next to me! She gives him really dirty looks then plants herself between us rubbing her face on my legs, arms, and nosing my hand for scratches, and petting! And when i try to get her to leave and go home she gives me that WTH how dare you look! laugh.gif But she always comes back, and i don't even feed her since i don't know what sort of diet her owners might have her on, and don't want to interfear with any health issues she may have! But i do enjoy her company! yes.gif
