Re: Pets names.
We have a little tortoiseshell cat. I found her in the wheel arch of my neighbour's truck about five months ago, when she was just a few weeks old.
We were very naughty and didn't turn her in. She was most likely a stray or abandoned, and we didn't even know which city/province she came from. In any case, she attached herself to me straight off and has never let go.
I wanted to call her Honda but the vet though that was wank. For a while, we called her Chaton (kitten). Now she is Minette (pussy cat, kitty etc).

I believe we have and believe you did, yes. Clemmie, was off course, Winston Churchills wife. Mind you I suspect that he didn't chase her around the house trying to rip her head off as our Winston was doing to our Clemmie this morning!

At the moment we have 5 Siberian Huskies:
Terra as huskies are meant to be little terrors
Nuk - a rescue who came with the name
Alaska - again a rescue who came with the name
Terra's puppies that I kept are;
Azlan - i don't think I need to explain where it came from
Bones - got the idea from the programme with the same name
in the past I've had cats called;
Kopie, rambo, stroppy, champers, lucky
Dogs called;
Tarra, yoda, shep

Re: Pets names.
Sid, Ron, Charlie, named for the thuggish sons I expected to have but didn't. Kobe, a donkey, the name somehow relates to those Japanese cows. Austin-Healey Mk IIa, a horse, the cost of maintenance of said horse precludes acquisition of the real thing. Dixie, another horse, registered name something about light sabres, dunno why. Possum, a cat. Adventure Kitty, another cat. There was Brigid, an Irish dog, but now there isn't.

Our golden retriever is called "Islay" (eye-la) after the Scottish Island as far as I was concerned. My OH however, says he named her Islay after the region of Scotland where his favourite single malt is from.

Re: Pets names.
We used to have a cat called Arnie, named after Arnold Schwarzenegger because he was so brave 
We had 3 German Shepherds all with very non German Shepherd type names; Sascha, Oscar and Josh. All far too soft and good natured for macho names.
