My parents picked Pepper because of her coloring and MissPepperC'mere because of Pepper's selective hearing.

I picked Autumn because she was born in autumn, I liked the name to begin with, and because of her orange tones.

I tend to wait until I know the animal good to pick a name and I sometimes just pick a word random from the dictionary. I named my fish Frock and Patron just opening a page and finding the word I liked best.
