So I was just over reading Cakerwakers and she was talking about her pets. I must admit some of their names were pretty funny, a dog named puppy and a cat named kitty. It got me thinking about some of my pets names and how they came to be.
The first ones I can remember were Pebbles and Bam Bam.
Pebbles- She came first, I must have been maybe about 4 and I was pretty into the Flinstones at the time.
Bam Bam- He was Pebbles baby so at the time this made perfect sense, although now that I think about it, Pebbles and Bam Bam were more like cousins then mom and baby....hmmmmm.
Catalano- Ahhhh he was named after Jordan Catalano on My So Called Life. Because, he was LIKE TOTALLY THE CUTEST BOY IN THE WORLD! Plus, Catalano had the word cat in it, so I thought I was being extra clever...Not so much
Henry- This was the Beagle dog I had for a few weeks. He was named after Tom Henry the guy I had the HUGEST crush on, and I some how thought that if I named my dog after him he would like me more....That worked huh? NOT!
Fefe- I so did not name this one, she came with that name so I can't held responsible for her poor name
Fluffy- Wait, again I didn't name that one.
Peanuts- He wasn't even supposed to be our cat. We bought him for our grandma and when we took him there she wasn't home so he ended up living with us. I named him peanut because he was an orange cat which to a 3rd grader, orange is totally the same color as a peanut huh! Right? I'm not color blind I swear.
Ranger- This was my lab he was brown. When we picked him up we drove our old ford ranger which was dark brown. On the glove box it said Ranger on it. I thought it made perfect sense brown dog Ranger & brown truck Ranger. Can you see how clever I really am?
Meister. Short for Jagermeister. This one is easy I used to be an alcoholic!

We have sooo much in common. I loved (love) My So Called Life. I remember being extremely pissed when that show went off the air. Jared Leto is a sexy, sexy man.
Your pets had some funny name. My personal favorite is peanut (I like naming animals after food - notice that I have an olive and a potato).
That's a lot of pets! I think I'd be more worried about that (and WHY you had so many - what happened to them all?) than their names which I don't find to be all that bad. Does that make me weird too? If it makes you feel better, I had a cat named mama kitty and a guinea pig named Cinny (because she was red like cinnamon). And regarding your Peanut name - maybe you aren't color blind, you were just thinking of those nasty orange circus peanut candies???
I laughed hysterically at some of those names. They weren't bad names, but they actually were pretty clever. My personal favorite is Meister though...I like that one...and of course the guy that you named your cat after hahah that was a good one!
