Blink was named that because he hatched premature, being born blind, then was able to 'blink' his eyes open :D

Gus was named after my aunt's cat that passed away because he looked just like him and the name seemed to fit.

[jesse_3]

Sammy was just a name we liked!!

[Suki Wingy]

Clark- He was a "Super Dog"

This described her perfectly.;) I miss my Laylie-Lou!:(
Niño- The shelter said it was "Nino" but we knew his name was "little boy" and that was pronounced "Niño":)

[chrissycat21]

Snowy- It was kind of snowing the day we got her, and she is white. (well, when she's clean that is!)

Taffy- The first thing I thought of when I saw him was that his coloring was like taffy!

Buttons- a PTer thought of his name, lucky him or he would have been stuck with Boomerang! (Thanks to my dad!)

Sushi- Well, actually his name is Not Sushi, it's more of a joke since 4/5 people in our family are vegetarians. ;)

[Suki Wingy]

aw, I like the name Boomerang!

[Cincy'sMom]

Sadie was the name of Ralph's next door neighbor's dog growing up. He liked the name, and it certainly has fit our baby girl...the name means Princess, and boy is she!

Cincy was named for Cincinnati, where Ralph and I both went to college, and met.

Spot was named by his former family. What name could better fit a dalmatian?

[wolfsoul]

Oliver is my only pet really named after anything. I named him after Oliver Twist. When I first brought him home, he was my smallest rat (now he's the biggest lol) and Tobias pretty much ruled the roost. Tobias would eat the food and Oliver would look at him with this look like "Please sir, can I have some more?" So I named him Oliver Twist. Oliver for short. Though his registered name will be Oliver Twist, once I get him registered.
