Dogs:
Sammy: My mom always wanted a dog or cat named Sammy

Jesse: well, we had a cat named Soxs, and we had Sammy, so there is 2 S's, then there was my RB Jewel, and Echo. Our whole family came up with a list of names, and my mom was thinking this whole thng through, and the lust was - Bubbles, Dog, Sally, and Jesse. We chose Jesse to say in the least...

Jemi': Well, the reason I got her is because she reminded me so much of my RB Jewel, and I felt it was Jewels way of showing me that she forgives me, and still loves me, and that her death really was not my fault...so, Jemi' has Jem which looks like gem, and jewel is a gem, and Jem in French is I love...then we needed an ee sound at the end because of Sammy and Jesse

cats:
Peek-a-Boo: she was always hiding, and it reminded me of the game ppek-a-boo!
Autumn: her colors are the colors of fall..

Other:
Splinter: she came with the name, and it fits her!

Selina: she came with the name, and she responds to her name

Xambi: I was being sarcastic, and asking my table in small animal management what I should name my betta, and a guy said Zambi, only spelt with an x.

RB Lomasi: she was pretty, and lomasi is a Native American word meaning pretty flower

Chipper (not, a pet): He was chirping so LOUD, and so much, and my neighbor and I didn't like chirper, so we decided on Chipper, and it fits him

This is a fun thread!
