Good read Richard. I have always named my pets people names for they are my children. Boscoe, Kei Kei and Clover already came named.
I do think Boscoe is a great name. My daughter usually does the same thing except for her two hamsters one was named Lint, the other Cougar. I loved the name Lint, it sounded so English, they have the best pet names like Toast, Bubbles and Wicky.
My husband meets lots of pets in clients homes. One he remembers fondly is Moose the basset hound.
When I was a kid we had a cat called Fastback, he would climb on up your back and sit on your shoulders and neck all day if you let him.
