Names

[MamIDdau]

As you may/may not have read, I'm rehoming 2 8 month old kittens from my local RSPCA in about a week or so.

They're currently called Princess and Trixie and if you know me well enough, you'll know that those names aren't really my cup of tea.

History of pets names, Thomas (who later became Thomasina), Sammy (Samantha but unisex Sammy in case it was another Thomas), Jo (Josephine in case she was another Thomas lol), Colours (Tortoishell originally my sister's cat), Dabs (character from a book called the Alchemists Cat, she was a stray), Shadda (Not Shadow cos that sounded a little gay but he was also a stray) and Schmickles (a catchphrase from Bo Selecta TV show).

I was originally going to call them Butters and Timmy from South Park but they're male characters. I was going to call any chickens I got Ethel and Mildred so that's them 2 names gone. Bodgit and Scarper was another idea and Florence and Emily are the 2 "ladies" from Little Britain.

While I'm away for a few days, I'd like you to come up with name suggestions. Wacky and unusual welcomed ;D

What is it with calling chickens old fashions names?? We have Clarissa and Doris and we did have a Freida.

Years ago, my little nephew had two goldfish. One was called Rodjane and the other Freddie!!

He was a fan of Rainbow at the time ;D

Not very original, but how about Tom & Jerry?

[Tig]

Willow and Pixie - both a bit mythical sounding for puddies ;D

[Plocket]

Flora and Fauna?

I think you are probably going to stick with Butters and Timmy cos you've got them pretty well fixed in your head now ;D

And why not, just because they are boys names? Schmickles is hardly a fluffy, feminine name, and she doesn't seem to mind.

[Plocket]

How about "Little" and "Sod" ;D

Well you get sods of grass - it's even garden linked for you!!!!!

[Amo]

You really have to think about how it will sound when you call them. When I work my dog, you'd be amazed at how many are called 'c'meer you b***ard!'

[Shrubrose]

If you're feeling in a nursery rhyme mood what about 'Humpty' and 'Dumpty'? Or if one's a bit daft 'Numpty'! ;D

[Deleted]

How about Jack & Daniel ? ;D

Actually, I also quite like the names Jelly & Beans ;D

What about sherbert & dibdab.

I know they're really called sherbert dipdabs but dibdab sounds a better name ! I used to love sherbert dipdabs when I was young.

I remember those FA, can you still get them?

[Deleted]

Only in selected places MRH. But I did Google them and there is a website you can buy them from.......

I saw them today in the little sweet shop in town...they sell sweets from the old fashioned jars, although I think that the jars are now made of plastic instead of glass.
I bought some Army & Navy sweets and a sherbet dip dab. ;D

[Shrubrose]

;D

[MamIDdau]

Oooooooh some very good ideas here.

They don't have to be "pair" names if you get what I mean...

[nightowl]

What about Tickles and Fickles (or any names ending in ickles) to go with Schmickles. Then you'd only have to call "ickles" and they'd all come running! ;D

[MamIDdau]

hehe good thinking!

Had to put another collar on Schmickles when I got home because she'd somehow lost the other one.

Think it's annoying her a little because the bell is a bit louder than it was on the old one lol

Come on, keep the names coming!

[Shrubrose]

What about 'oojit' and 'eejit' (I'm convinced one of them's going to be batty!!! ;D)

Or Arsenfeffer (feffer for short! ) and Pansy?

I used to give my cats long names and then shorten them e.g. Mistress Poppy Bumlicker (poppy for short), Tabitha Bigeyes (Tabby), Mr Charles Whinge-Bucket (Charlie of course) etc.

[Amo]

I've had Mr Pinkerton (pinks for a boy, I know ) , Bonnington, (Bonnie, he had to get to the top of everything hence after Chris Bonnington) we now have Foxtrot and Oscar (being married to a pilot its phonetic, you can work it out ) and Where the hell Izzy.

[Deleted]

What colour are these cats ? Maybe if we knew their colouring, we might be able to suggest a few more names.

I like Splosh, Whimsy, Chutney & Pickle, Evadne & Hilda (as in Hinge & Bracket, for people of a certain age !) and Gertrude (or Gertie).

I thought I'd said somewhere what colours they were...

Anyway, one is tortoishell with a beige foot and the other is black and white with a black spot on her nose.

[Deleted]

What about Flopsey and Mopsey or Tinkabell and Sable.

[MamIDdau]

Thought of a few more...

From Father Ted: Drink and Feck. Now THAT would be amusing shouting out the door on an evening. Mrs Doyle is another one.

From League Of Gentlemen: Tubbs and maybe Barbara but probably not.

Carry On Films: Ding and Dong.

Monty Python: Nudge and Wink
