FURRY FRIDAY: WHAT'S IN A NAME?

peta.org

Okay, so you've adopted a pet, your feeling really good about yourself and then you get home and realize the name that your new family member has is...well...   it just doesn't fit. What do you do? 


If you're like me you hit the internet looking for the perfect name. So here are some names I found that I really got a kick out of:

Cheese
Bazooka
Daiquiri
Hershey
Marshmallow
Meatball


I'm thinking that unless you want your dog to look like this...perhaps a food name should be avoided.


Question: Why would you name your dog more than one name? I'm thinking dog show celebrity, perhaps? Here are some doozies that just cracked me up:

Princess Conchita Conswela Bananna-Hammock  (hyphenated, seriously?)
Scooby Otera Alexia
Turdburgler McShittsalot III

Ballard Zigoot Shatz

Baby Beau Big Bucks

Does your dog have to look like a celebrity to name him after one?

Bullwinkle

Elmo

Da Vinci

Garfield

Harrison

Meet Bodean, Digger and Earlene, three pups from Louisiana. Location is important to finding the appropriate name.

Another consideration would be how your pet acts. Check out these interesting verbs for names:

Havoc

Scrappy

Shredder

Thumper

Dunk

Like children, if dogs live up to their names I'd steer away from these:

Digger

Trouble

Barker

Pooper

Chewy
