A friend has a racing greyhound ( not track racing) from a purposely non track litter but not AKC either. His name is Brazen, and he is. But it’s his littermate Jammin’ who will probably end up LGRA dog of the year for the 2nd year in a row. Snoopy, an IG who held that title for 2 years, will probably come in 2nd again, because of the number of IGs versus greyts competing. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”

All my dogs have “stories” behind their names, but the cats are Gato (he does not know it isn’t a “real name”) and Abby (named by the friend from whom I inherited her.

At a vet’s office I once met a charming cat named Eight-ball, for the markings on his face.

My all-time favorite cat names belonged to cats I never met, but wish I had: Brazen and Shameless. They were owned by a fellow named Grant Hussey.

At the prison where I train, each batch of pups is named after TV shows by the gaurds. My favorite was when Jan and Marsha of the Brady Bunch didn’t get along. It is true, you have to be careful what you name pets. What do you think little mate rescue clients Felony and Arson were like?

When I was in college I had goldfish named Darwin and Huxley. Then I got two more and named them Phil Collins and Beaver Cleaver.

Our youngest cat — she’s about eleven months old, and a handful and a half — is nicknamed ‘Threat or Menace?’ Which I suppose qualifies in a way. And while I’ve not yet named pet in pairs, but I do have a collective: all my spotted corydoras catfish are named ‘The Herringtons.’

I learned the hard way not to give pets “negative” names like Trouble and Pandora. Both of those cats definitely lived up to their names. The closest we ever came to “pair” names were when we had two kittens that we named Alice and Chessie (Cheshire).

I had two male cats named Mischief and Pandemonium. Unfortunately, we lost Mischief to heart disease a couple of years ago, so now we just have Pandemonium (Pande for short). But we also have three additional cats - Shadow, Pris and Sassy.
