This subject always entertains me for some reason. Maybe because there are no social "norms" and you can generally name an animal whatever fits or is funny. Back story preferred, but not necessary... I'll go first:

"Big Fucker"- our chicken that happened to be bigger than the others when it was born, the name stuck, and now she's three.

"Middle"- another chicken, stupid name stuck.

"Chainsaw"- a dog my father in law "met" while on a call to repair phone lines. Apparently the owner was screaming the dogs name at the time.:rofl:

Riding the baggage carousel.
All of our pets were named by various shelter employees, and we never changed them because we're not very creative people. Mazda, Denver, and (formerly) Savannah.

It's actually a little surprising that we somehow managed to name our child.

My neighbors had a little Yorkie that was a total bastard named Mr. Bear. It fit so well, it was pretty rad.

@Pesqueeb I like the idea of keeping the shelter names- that's cool.

Ha, my dad's childhood dog growing up in downtown detroit was Spook. A black shepherd.
My grandparents were racist german immigrants that didn't know better and it was the 30s/40s.

We had a cat named Shittykins.
My family had a chocolate lab named Sundae, a yellow lab called Cider and my current sheps are Chica and Floyd.

I have a (exceedingly large) black cat named Jules, in honor of this guy:



He really is just the most chill, "Steve McQueen cool" cat ever...Walks straight the fuck up to dogs (of any size) and starts nuzzling on them...If I saw him leaning on a post, smoking a Marlboro red, I wouldn't even think twice about it...and yes, he actually does have a leather collar which says "bad mother fucker" on it.

Monday was the night she came up to me in the hood in Medford. She was the lone survivor of a feral litter in the ghetto I lived in. I told my ex if I saw her again I was snatching her up. She came back Wednesday morning and I've had her since. Monday is my shop cat.

Living the dream.
My nephew had a goldfish he had named Slush but had trouble pronouncing it when he was younger, the first time he told me the name, I thought he said Flush. Best name for a goldfish ever.

I have two dogs, the first my ex wouldn't let me name Cooter, but in the end we compromised, his name is Chase Cooter. The other is named Barley.

What a PITA those things were.

haha, anything specific? I don't know what goes into owning a turtle, but
They're just smelly little shit pumps with no inherent entertainment value.
I don't even recall how we got them, I think some guy my wife worked with gave them to her or something. I gave them away to some kid after 6mo.
