How do you go about naming your pets?

Question

How do you go about naming your pets?

Answer 1

Mine, just one word with a good meaning. I named my pet Lucky.

Answer 2

It takes a few days. You have to spend time with the new pet, and get to know its personality. That, combined with its appearance, will usually give you some ideas for names.

Answer 3

I go on line and type in Bird or Cat names and they give you a list. My mom and siblings all decide on what kind of name with like and what sounds good. We make a list of the names we like and based on that we take a vote and we have a name.

Answer 4

I give them a few days so I can get to know them. I usually pick something from Ireland because that is my heritage, but my cat picked his own name... After hiding out for a day he came out and decided to reach up onto the t.v. nd watch "Tarzan" the Disney movie... Then hissed at the "Scary" parts. So I named him Tarzan

Answer 5

i look at the markings the pets have. (eg. all paws the same colour - socks; patch of different coloured fur over an eye - spot; fluffy fur - Fluffy; etc.). I also go by common names or famous animal names. (Parot - Polly; Dog [female] - Lassie; Cat - Fat Louis[Princesses Diary's Cat]; etc)

Also, I might wait awhile to see the pets personality. (eg. Always getting into trouble - Rascal)

Answer 6

My 2 females, about 13 months old were named for my late parents, Sammi & Toni. My 6 month old male kitten, given to me by my boss at retirement, is Bearcat, because, before I ever saw him, my boss said he looked like a tiny black bear.

Answer 7

If they're cute, then I name them after someone or something cute. I want a puppy, like a Maltese or a Bischon, I will name it Pancakes or Muffin. Something along those lines. Good luck. :)

Answer 8

I usually search on the internet for pet names.  It's kind of a brainstorming process and then something will "just be right".  Good Luck!

Answer 18

I think of a character I like from a film, TV series or book. Something different and distinctive is good.

Answer 19

I always choose something that I really like but would never name a child and what I feel might fit their personality

Although my dog is named Chloe which I love and is a very pretty child's name but I just wouldn't name my actual child that name ~ my dog is my lil child though ;~) Haaa

Getting a baby name book is great to name your dog as well
