My twins came named as Sean and Amy and I thought those names were too human and not them. Plus it reminded me of how I used to name my childhood pets human names which I now think was a little silly (my first hamsters name was Cindy and my first cat was Lisa) and I wanted them to be unique. We picked out names before we got them and that was a mistake because the names didn't fit their personalities, we had picked out "Belle" for Priss for "southern belle" and "Sniffles" for Bubby since it sounded cute, but it didn't feel right calling them that. Then we changed Bubby's name to "Jordan" after Michael Jordan because of how high he jumps. We never called them their real names, we always called them Bubby and Priss as their NICKnames but then their real names got phased out.

Priss is named so because she is a princess and she "prisses" around the apartment being so cute that you can't help but admire her and give her whatever she wants.

Bubby is named so because I started asking Priss where her "brother" was and brother turned into "Bubby" which is what my cousin calls HER brother. Another reason is because I would call him "Buddy" a lot and "Buddy" turned into "Bubby". It was meant to be!

My friend that rescued Lucky (his "aunt") and I (the new mommy) wanted to find the perfect name for him. We decided he was LUCKY to be alive since she rescued him on the side of a road just before a car ran over him. He became Lucky

I love naming stories!
