I have lots of weird animal names in my family starting with a black lab my dad found on the side of the road. He was named Traveler after we saw how he'd worn down the pads of his feet traveling. He was able to jump over our chainlink fence from a sitting position...he went back to his traveling days after a short time with us.
I have owned three dogs since I've been with my husband. Our first dachshund, Willow, is, surprisingly, a boy dog named after the main character in the movie "Willow" because (I hope I don't offend any little people) the dog is a red-headed midget! Our second dachshund is a rescue. His AKC name is Alton's Little Rascal. I know, how cliche is Rascal, but we couldn't change it after we realized that he actually knows his name. I changed it to Rascal Lee "My Maiden Name." We actually ALWAYS call both of them by their "full" names, The Willow Dog and The Rascal Dog. The last weird dog name is for a basset hound that I got my husband for Valentine's Day a few years ago. He'd always wanted a basset named Fred after "Smokey and the Bandit." We actually named the dog Frederick the Baron von Espy in honor of "Smokey and the Bandit" and Claus the Baron von Espy from "Intolerable Cruelty." Can you tell we're inspired by movies?
twinkle555, my sister has two cats, one is a velvety brown cat, and the other is black and white like a guernsey cow. Their names are Foxy Brown and Roxy Hart (also movie references!)
