I like to give my pets names that aren't very common. I know that it doesn't really matter, but I think I feel like there name is special if I give them something that isn't very common. Or maybe I'm just bitter because I have a very common name!

I like to ponder people's choices in names and breeds and what it says about them too. I notice a lot of people like to name their dogs "people names". But I figure having a dog is the perfect chance to be creative and not worry that the other dogs will tease them about their name.

THAT... is a very funny line!!!

my first dog's name was Lucy..I had a dog named Daisy. I have a Buster and a Rocky. and I had a basset hound named Buddy.

Jenny is Jenny because my mom wanted to name her after my grandma (my mom's mother..) They spelled it Genny and my grandma's name was Geneva. I spelled it J-e-n-n-y, because it looks better!

Rocky is Rocky because we got him in a town named Rocker.

Buster is Buster because all would come out of my mouth when we first had him I would say "Buster Button" or get out of there Buster..so it stuck

Ginger is Ginger is because of her color. My mom's mother (my grandmother) named her that. My mom inherited her from my grandma (her mother) when she passed away in 2003.

and for the cats..

Miagi was going to be Simba, but my mom said everyone's cats are named that or dogs. She said Mowgli and the next thing that came out of her mouth was Miagi.

Tiger was already named, I wanted to name him Tigger, but Tiger just stuck.

My animal's names are not very unique besides my rabbits, Sharra and Jaxom and my rat, Butternutt. However, I have heard of some pretty creative names at my work. Here are some of my favorites:

Rain (Bernese Mountain Dog) [Favorite name]
Princess Lollipop, Lolli for short (Maltese)
Black Dog, ok, not original, but funny (Rottie Mix)
Laner pronounce Lah Near, he is named after a near by lake (Standard Poodle)
Sport (Fox Terrier) [never have heard of a dog named this before, he competes in agility]
Manny (Shepard Mix)
Major Tiao, pronounce Tie Oh (Pug)
Puggy (Pug)
Pao (Pug)

Some families even name there dog's with a theme (Kay):

Adriane and Rocky (Boxers)
Simba and Nala (Dobermans)

I personally prefer unique names, they are much more interesting.
