Charlie... just because I liked it I guess. The popularity of the name totally left my mind at the time or I probably would not have named him it..

Jamie... I have noooo idea how HJ came up with that name, he just did. Before he ever even saw her or I picked her up! He was four hours away, and said "you can have her, but she will be mine, and I shall call her... uh... Jamie!" lol.

Goldeneye 007 (aka Double-Oh)... because he has the coolest golden colored eyes I have ever seen in a cat!!

Dogs
Shadow - She came to us with her name, and we just kept it.
Micki - He has Mickey Mouse shaped spots on his back and side

Kyra - Thought it was cute and it fit her
Jack - Absolutely hated the name, I wanted to name him Bonzai but my family was opposed to it...but Jack fits.

Cats
Motchka - I had just gotten home from a month long Europe trip with a group of Slovakians. I learned a TON of Slovak words and Cat in slovak is pronounced Motchka (but actually spelt Moćha) and I thought it was cute...and different.
Batman - I just gave her a random name, really wasn't planning on keeping her at all.
Jasper - My mom named him Paris until she found out her new baby girl was a boy. Jasper means hidden treasure, pun intended

Misty-is short for "mistletoe mischeif" because she was a chistmas gift and she kept getting into mischeif lol

Ripley-we had been watching the show "Ripleys beleive it or not" when we were trying to come up with a name, randomly someone said "Ripleys Believe it or not we got another dog" because he was our 4th. and the name "Ripley", stuck lol

Perky-umm cuz she is perky lol

Blair-the name his breeder gave him, we kept it because he was given to us only days after my parents split up, and before my dad my moms serious boyfriend happend to be named "Blair" it was funny.(coinincidently my moms current boyfriends nickname is "Happy")

Birds:
Taru-it means Legend in Finnish, I chose it because Taru is also a god of the sky, and my Taru is a white and sky blue fancy budgie.

Toivo-I wanted another finnish name and I liked the sound, it means "Hope"

Critters:

Kari-cuz someone suggested Caramel for her coloring, and my freind called her "carry" for short, I am not fond of the name "carry" so I said "Kari" and it stuck.

Smores-2 reasons, 1 he looks like a smore lol and 2 he looks just like his dad hence "some more"

Puddin-again my mom just wanted a piggie named Puddin

Checkers-she has to perfect squares on her rump, one pure chocolate and the other roan, it looks like a checkerboard lol

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Tango: To make a long story short, I wanted my first Toller to be called 'Tango' and eventhough she isn't purebred I thought it fit her anyway.

Winston: Came with the name & eventhough nobody in my family likes it, we kept it because he's older and knew it well plus he'd been through enough changes already.

Morgan: Came with the name, it fit her, and we didn't have anything else to name her that actually fitted her.

Tia: Not really sure, my mom named her.

[CatLuvrs]

Myles: His name was Castor when we adopted him but we didn't think that fit. So I came up with the name Myles and it fits him to a T.

Max: His took a while we wanted all M names because we started it and didn't think it would be fair to have one without a M

Midnight: His was very hard we put names in a basket and had mom over for dinner and she helped us lol

Visa -- the litter came down with parvo and the breeder spent $2000 trying to keep them alive. Visa literally owes her life to a Visa card. The other survivors were named Cash and Amex.
Oliver -- When he was a baby he was tiny and submissive. His brother easily overpowered him for food the first time I fed them. He looked at his brother as if to say "please sir, can I have some more?" So I called him Oliver Twist.
Tobias -- no reason really, I just like the name, it's different and I think it's a good name for a rat.
Caleb -- I just like the name. I've always liked people names for animals (especially rats though).

Snuggles. I think that came from tickles and the snuggle laundry softener. Tickles was a dog we saw at a pet store a lhasa who would lick you and it tickled. Now that I think about it I feel sorry for tickles. Being a pet store puppy. Glad we didn't get him. We couldn't cause he was very expensive. You could set up payment in monthly installments. As much as he cost we would still be paying for him.

[Suki Wingy]

Niño- The shelter told us his name was “Nino” but when we got him home, we realized he understood commands in Spanish. So then we knew it was pronounced Niño. To this day we don’t know if that was really his name or if they thought the shelter people were asking what sex he was when really they were asking his name. It really fits him though.
Oslo- He is named after the capitol of Norway
Tigger- When I got her I was 5 years old and she happens to be grey and orange. She was up on her legs and tail against the glass trying to climb out of the tank when I saw her and I thought she looked like she was bouncing on her tail like Tigger.
Terrance- My sister’s gerbil. My sister found out that gerbils were originally from Mongolia, so in the car on the way home from the pet store the only thing I could think of was Mongolian Tarripans (wild horses) And my sister thought that that would be a good sounding name, so we then thought of the name Terrance. We call him “Turr” or “FatTurr” though.
