Do you like it when people name there pets "No Name"or"Nameless"?

[Zippy]

How do you fell about that???
I really don't like that.It is like calling my cat an it and not a cat.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I've never met a pet actually called "no-name" or "nameless". Two of my bettas don't have names because I'm horrible at thinking of names for fish, so they are nameless...but obviously, if I'm talking about them to someone I don't say "this is my betta Nameless"...I would say "this is my betta, he does't have a name" or something like that.


That being said, if someobdy wanted to name their pet "Nameless" or "No-name" I wouldn't care as the pet doesn't belong to me...

ive never met a dog or any other pet named that...i was watching a dog show a while back, and the Pom was named "no name"..i sure wouldnt name my pet anything like that

My albino Burmese is named Emanon noname backwards! He was a rescue and frankly I was outta names (I didn't know all you wonderful folks then though either!) :D

It depends on the situation. If the person is just lazy and doesn't care enough about their pets to name them, then its bad. If a person, like me, has 30 cockroaches and numerous fish, then its hard to name them all, especially if you can't tell them apart. No name can be a name too. We call the neighbor's stray porch cat no name because he's nobody's cat really, he's a drifter, its his character (but when I'm out of college and in my own house the cat is mine!).

It doesn't bother me one bit, though I don't honesetly "like" it, it just doesn't bother me.
One of my male betta's official name is Nameless. It honestly fits him, and I couldn't see him as anything else. I have a few fish that have no names, but they're official name is not no-name or nameless. They'll get names in time. Same with one of my mice and the hamster... it just takes me a while, and right now I'll fresh out of ideas for names.

[k9krazee]

I really couldn't care less *shrugs*

[Flatcoatluver]

I don't hate it, but it wouldn't be my choice to name any of my pets. Never really though of it I guess!!

[Karen]

I think it's fine, better to be named NoName than to have no name at all! As long as the person loves and cares for the animal, I think the name doesn't matter.

I have known a dog named Puppy (which got confusing when Puppy had puppies), and we had a cat named Cat one summer, until he was stolen. He had been dumped out in our neighborhood, and ended up at out house after being beaten up by the male cat across the street. He answered to Cat, so that's what we called him!

[Alysser]

I hate it... :o . I get bothered by stupid things but it's sorta a pet peeve.

[binka_nugget]

It doesn't bother me. As long as the pet is cared for properly, I really don't care what/if they name it.

Personally though, I name all my dogs and birds. The fishes used to be named but I regularly get new fish. I've brought home over 60 bettas. It gets kinda hard to come up with new names (and remembering them!) after 40. =P

[zoey]

I've never heard of a pet named Namelss.
Untill now, that is.
I had a himilayan cat named C.A.T.
I thought it was cute, and it fit him. The lady who gave him to me had named him that.

[GreyhoundGirl]

my friend couldn't think of a name for her cat, so she name it cat.

I voted "hate it" because usually I do. On fish it's fine. My fish ( before I gave them all away ) were all named " nameless"

except for my angelfish, when he got to 25 cm we decieded he ( or she ) deserved a name. His name is Finnigan, ( we never really thought of him being a her.... ) when we gave him away he was 30 cm ! :eek:

[Argranade]

I do like it when a pet has a name but I dont get mad at the person.

Some pigeon breeders dont give there pigeons names but numbers so its like ''Hi meet my pigeon Co 2004 3567'' now I find that weird.

[charmie]

I thinks it okay in some ways, for example, some people have HUGE aquariums with 40+ fish in them, or really big aviaries with tons of birds, it would be hard to name them all and remember them, especially if the animals all look the same.

Most of the time though, its best to name your pets. :)

[JenBKR]

Doesn't bother me, as long as the animal is taken care of. When I was little I had a friend who's family had found a cat, and the kids wanted to keep the cat. The parents didn't plan on keeping the cat, but finding the owner instead. When the kids asked mom what to name the cat, she responded 'nothing,' meaning not to name the cat because they weren't keeping him. But the kids called him Nothing, and they never did find the owner and ended up keeping him and his name was always Nothing. I thought it was kind of cute.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I hate it!!! After all, it is a living creature, so how can it be nameless??
My SIL used to have 3 cats, and they all had the same name "Puss" :rolleyes: . When I asked her why she did that, she answered: "Well, that is very easy, whenever I want the cats to come, I call 1 name, and theyall come!!"
Stupid, in my opinion.... :rolleyes:

[joanofark]

I'm inbetween....

Hobo has a name (Duh) but He's usually refered to as "Kitty" or "Cat" lol. :rolleyes: :D

[CathyBogart]

My friend has two cats named "boy cat" and "girl cat". He doesn't love them any less for it, and they're happy and spoiled, so why should something like that bother me? It's neglectful actions that bother me, not the animals' name (unless it's something really raunchy or degrading...I knew of a dog named "homicide" and I hated that)

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

It really doesn't bother me. If someone choose to not give their animals a proper name, that is their choice. http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/sally/indifferent.gif

Our ball python's name is OneDay, he was a rescue and the guy who origionally had him never named him. Everyone asked him "are you going to name your snake one day?" So that's exactly what he did, he named him OneDay. When we got him we were told that story and we kept his name.

We also have a cat named Kitten. My mom found him under a car at the Toyota dealership she worked at, she brought him home and my sister named him Rav (after a Toyota Rav 4). They couldn't keep him and were only going to foster him, my husband and I decided to adopt him. We didn't care for the name Rav, but couldn't come up with a fitting name for him, we just kept calling him "the kitten" eventually his name just ended up being Kitten.

[lute]

i don't like it. i mean surely there is a name out there that fits your pet.

[zoomer]

HATE it! :mad:

[catnapper]

It depends. I have named all my cats, my dogs, etc in life. But my exboyfriend has a cat named KatKat. Was he loved any less because he had a fake name? nope. He still got love, food, vet care just as any other properly named pet. Sometimes you just don't have any creativity in naming them, so you call it puss or pup hoping someday a name will strike you... and in the meanwhile Puss or Pup is what his name becomes.

My betta has no name. I typically refer to him as Fishie. Like when I tell the cats to "stop drinking Fishie's water!" Does it mean I care less for my betta because he's nameless? nah. I just couldn't come up with a name I liked... especially since I swore he wasn't going to last the weekend with the cats. Here he is months later still happily swimming in the water that gets refilled every day because the cats prefer to drink from his bowl (extra flavoring perhaps?) and now the betta's unoffical/official name is Fishie.

[Zippy]

i mean when people say that is just my dog/cat/fish ect.....it has no name
