Re: Pets names.
3 cats.
Dylan, Alfie and Louie.
No real stories behind them, only the fact that me and OH argued over each of them for ages before settling on each name

Re: Pets names.
We have two cats called Binks and Rosa. Binks already had the name when we got him from the Meow Foundation, but Rosa was called Dinkum. We didn't like that, so renamed her Rosa after my Great-Grandmother. Her name was actually Rosa-Mina, but that seemed a bit of a mouthful for a cat. Indeed, my wife considers it too much of a mouthful for a person!

Re: Pets names.
When we got the first cat, I gave the Mrs the choice of Winston or Churchill (it wasn't long after we'd moved over) & she went for Winston. The second cat is female which precluded Hitler as a name. So we went for Clemmie. The trivia buffs amongst you will know why.
