What was your pet's Shelter Name?

[AdoreMyDogs]

Graham was named Rufus, which I thought lowered his IQ quite a bit. I didn't like the name so I named him Graham, after the cereal "Golden Grahams", since he is Graham colored and he is golden in spirit. I LOVE his name and it's just so perfect for him.

Kersey was named Kersee, after Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the olympic runner/jumper. She was named that by her foster mom because when she wanted on the other side of the fence to play with the neighbor dogs, she just effortlessly bounded clear over the fence without barely touching it to play with the labs on the other side of the fence. Her foster mom was so impressed with her agility that she named her Kersee. I didn't really like the spelling of her name, so I changed it to Kersey, but liked her name way too much (and it was too fitting) to change it, so I just took off an "e".

I named Minion, as he was dumped by his previous owner I know he had a name before, but I would have had no way of knowing what it was. When I first saw that precious little kitty the name Minion came to mind immediately. I called him that before he was even my kitty, while he was still living on the streets. I didn't even know what the word "Minion" ment, but I knew that that was going to be his name. I think it's fitting and I think he really likes it. MiniMin is his most commonly used nick name and he responds well to his nicknames and his real name. He always responds with a trill when I call his name
