Journal bethanie's Journal: Question: Pet Names 38
Inspired by Fun Guy's mention of his dog Fezzig (which is SUCH a totally awesome name for a dog!!) I thought I'd put the question out there: What are (or were, if deceased) your animals' names?
I'm sure that among this group we'll have some awesome ones. :-)
(Oh, and in case there's some privacy issue involved, AC posting is enabled. Not so important to know who belongs to whom -- I just wanna hear what cool name you picked out for your pet.)

My sister got a cat earlier this year. She wanted to name it after a native american name meanig "white paw". I paid some indian reserve 10$ for the information and the cat is now named "Apeeka", which means "white paw". The fun part is that the cat was supposed to be male, so I indicated it in my request to the indian reserve. When I got a reply, the cat turned out to be female. So this female cat may have a native american male name.
Not the end of the world...

We had a cocker spaniel (American cocker spaniel, more specifically) by that name when I was a kid. Another one (over the course of 10 years, we had four American cocker spaniels and one English cocker spaniel) was named Molly...admittedly an ordinary name, but she bounced back from being run over by a truck, so she sticks out as somewhat special. I ended up giving her name to my current mutt (not sure what she is exactly as she was a pound puppy, but she has the colorat

My roommate has a cat (a Russian Blue) named Insight. My last dog D`Argo. His full name was Kai's Ka D`Argo. Kai's because he was mine and Ka D`Argo after the Luxan on Farscape. His nicknames were "little shit" and "sweetest puppy ever" because he didn't have a neutral behavior. He was either the best puppy EVAH or he was trying to outsmart me to get his way.
