Lacie - Named after Lacey J. Dalton, the singer

Queenie - Named because she is an Australian cattle dog, which used to be called Queensland heelers

Keito - Named after Taquitos from Jack in the Box, which the spelling altered. (Don't ask!)

Vanilla - Her name was Priscilla when I got her, and I know this totally flaky lady named Priscilla so that would never do. I asked my son to think of something that sounded like Priscilla, so she wouldn't be too confused ... hence, Vanilla.

Basil - Named for Basil Rathbone, Sherlock Holmes ... because he is a nosy, snoopy English gentleman, always investigating.

Wishbone - My son named him after Wishbone on TV.

Lucky, Jack, Pepper, Georgie, Twister - already named when I got them
