Bo Peep Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Mine was "Migraine"- couldn't think of a name and I said "Honey, you're giving me a Migraine" poof- there it was. Turned out she was better at getting sheep than My Grain. So ...... it didn't turn out that bad. I named her pups, Advil, Tylenol (Ty) Bufferin, Mydol, and Aspirin (ASP) of course, their owners got to chose their names, but I had fun with it before papers were turned in.

stockdogranch Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 One of the pups, just what I called him before the owner gave him a "real" name for his papers: Bu'Wheat (after the Little Rascals' character), Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbear Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Lou's puppy name was Beluga, as he was huge and had a white head. Later, his name was shortened to Lou. I believe one of Wick's pups was named Potato (now Tip) but RDM will have to tell you why as I can't quite remember the story. And we won't get into the things that I call Wick ...

SincereArtisan Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Pi ...so called, because at the time a white mark on her side resembled the Pi symbol. Then, it kinda stuck. When I was mad at her, I'd call her "3.14!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berocca Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I think mine are all relatively normal although I had a budgie called appleskin because she nibbled dads ear and made his blood run cold (he cant eat appleskin for the same reason). My sister's lovebird was called Jellybean. I knew someone who owned a big GSD called "Sit". As you can imagine he would go barrelling towards someone and they would try telling him to sit, which got him more excited. I think they used to say "squat" when they wanted him to sit.

Journey Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 OK, I had him for a month at least w/o a name. He would "eat" everything!

Bindi Mom Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 My first dog was a Christmas gift from my DH (before we were married). I couldn't think of a name for her that morning so we brought her with us to my parents. Well, he had also given me a pearl necklace and bracelet but was saving the bracelet for later. My SIL (who knew about the gift) saw my necklace and grabbed my wrist looking for the bracelet that wasn't given yet. She basically gave the rest of the gift away so DH started calling her Pearl Bailey and that's how Bailey got her name. Not a weird name - just a round about way to get it. Bindi is named for Steve Irwin. We were told she is part Australian Shepherd and it wasn't long after Steve Irwin had died so my boys decided Bindi would be a great name for her. We loved watching the Croc Hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsy84 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 My sister's dog is named Milford... he came with that name from the shelter and she liked it even though I told her to change it Gypsy and Freckles are pretty ordinary names, but I've named a few horses pretty odd names... This is a Bashkir Curly horse I named Rat, he's lost all the hair from his mane and most of it from his (rat)tail which is where his name comes from. (**Please excuse the shabby halter, he isn't my horse, I was just starting him for the [horrible] woman that owns him long story...) And then there's Ratina - so original I know - who also lacks hair on her tail. And of course you can't forget the nerdiest, spazziest colt in the world - Kramer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoBC Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I call Black Jack jumping jack and loud mouth because he howls when he wants attention, food, or his tennis ball if it's in someone's hand. Mostly I call him buddy or pupper though. I probably use buddy more than his name. lol. My horse's name is Eezee (easy) so when your trimming him and he goes to move and I say "whoa, easy boy" he looks at me like "what?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolkat01 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 My dad had once saved a Rotweiller that was thrown out in a bag from a moving vehicle with other puppies inside too. We kept one of them that took a liking to my Dad and named it Feeny. I realled hated that name, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
