At present we only share our home with one cat. A Tortie Persian (formerly a stray but now settling down nicely). Called Fluffy. 'Nuff said !

I have 2 cats and 2 kittens. MAX is 15yrs and was named after the Victoria Wood adverts for Maxwell House coffee (he's all black). COCO - an 8yr old dark tortie was named after Coco Chanel My kittens are cousins - LOUIE is 14 weeks old & black and white - named after his Auntie Lulu; and JAZZ is 17 weeks tortie and white - so named because her colouring is all 'jazzy'. Just had my second 'quiet' night in 3 weeks of having them - reason?? just had their second visit to the vets for vaccinations and micro-chipping. The injections make them sleepy and sore - poor things :((

My daughter's hamster is called Sophie Ellis Hamster as when her food pouches are full there is a striking resemblence...........

My hamster is called Bailey. She's 18months old. She was called Bailey because she's the colour of the drink Bailey's!!

I have a little Yorkie, not such an original name we called her Bonnie because she is so cute. Mum (June nr Preston) has a Yorkie called Beckham, she named him - yes you guessed it after David Beckham, I bought him for her during the last World Cup! G :-)

Up until recently we had 2 cats one named Ninja, my hubby names HER yes a her, but we still have Charlie, we found out my neice had a kitten that needed a home, and it was a black tom cat so we thought Charcole, but then he was Charlie charcole, now it is Charlie or even chuck chuck he comes to either.

I have a border/rough collie bitch 4 years old called Muppet. I don't know why (I used to like the muppet show), but she fits the name perfectly. Muppet or the Mupster or even Moto, she answers. She makes a noise when she yawns just like a human. My previous dog was called Dizzy, again I don't know why, these names just come to me when I look at the pup, but again with her she fitted her name. had a cat called Tosh, now that was called after the Tv saying "hello Tosh, got a Toshiba"

i have a three year old staffie called eric named by my son who liked south park at the time. a hamster called molly three birds,fluffy,bart and bird

My two cats already had their names when I got them. Onyx is black, like the stone and the other one is called Sacha (don't know where that came from). My old cat was called Luka because I liked Suzanne Vega at the time and thought Luka was a pretty name. My ex called our second cat Mouse just because that is his weird sense of humour. He kept Mouse when we split up and I got Luka. She was a beautiful Abyssinian but sadly died about six months after my ex and I split. Her pedigree name was Adreysh Illithia Kariba and I believe the Kariba part came from the Lake in Zimbabwe. Her breeder had just been there for a holiday. Mel

Have a dog named Monty - son named him - he said as the pup was of 57 varieties he needed a name to be proud of - Montgomery of El Alamein. Ann

My cat started life as Daisy until a trip the vets for his shots when I was informed that Daisy was a HE. I had wanted a female cat so had no male names ready at all. I looked on the internet at a site for popular cat names and got bored halfway through the B's, hence the name Barney!! Sam

It would take too long to explain where our "Bully" Feiha got her name from. To cut a very long story short she was hubby's 50th birthday present eight years ago. A funny misunderstanding between him and my sister (Bully was a surprise present) let to her getting the name "FEIHA," which means "ugly". A brindled lady from South Africa with a very long pedigree originating in the U:K: and hubby's "daughter". Feia, has breakfast with hubby in the morning, "her own slice of toast" and her own two pieces of bacon on a Sunday. She is nearly totally blind but loves us all unconditionally. Lindy;-))

Tiny is our cat's name she's about nine now but when we got her she could sit in one hand, now an adult she is still small for a cat and her name suits her personality.

I have a cat that came to me aged 6 called Sophie. I usually call her Po, cos she has a po-faced expression. Also have a Rabbit and guinea pig that were 'donated' to me. They were called Edward and Tubbs after the couple on 'League of Gentlemen', I have since renamed Tubbs (the guinea pig) Widdecombe - because of her 'attractive' hair style and similarity in looks to a certain lady!! maggie

Grandson here has 2 Guinea pigs. Benjamin, mostly brown named after Benjamin in a production of Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat, who was in brown costume. Stuart Little from same litter is mostly white as was Stuart Little mouse in films. Stuart is female but grandson liked that name for her!

At the moment I have a pedigree black Labrador called Nelly. We brought her back from Belgium when we returned to the UK. She's nearly five and as mad as a march hare. The reason for her being called Nelly is a long story involving other dogs tales. I also have a little tabby cat who was recued and had been badly treated. Her name is Slinks, because she's lean and mean, but nice. She came to Belgium with us and returned with Nelly. Jo.

We collected a cat through Cats Protection League just after I returned from a visit to Ireland so he ended up with the name Murphy. Would have been Guiness but he's ginger! Jacky :-)

Clicquot.... got from the rescue centre and she was called Guiness (boys name) and you guys on genes suggested Black Velvet.... Guiness and Champagne.... Verve Clicquot a brand of champagne!! :O)

We have Scarlett,named that by the rescue centre because when she was dumped she was wearing a red collar, Karen

Pepsi the cat because she is a lovely dark black/brown colour. Sophie the little cat, we picked her up from the shelter the day Sophie and Edward got married.
