those names just come about when we get to lazy pronounce the name properly. My dog is called harvey. AKA, bub, harby, chicken, fatty, puppy, g'dammit the dog shat on the carpet again, dum dum, silly and finally woggy.
Give it the name of an animal it isn't. Monkey, fish, rabbit, iguana. Confuses the hell outta people.
(Darth) Vader I always wanted to name one of my pets Darth Vader...would be soo much fun calling it in public:"Damm it, get back here Darth vader!"
Felix? that should confuse a few people. How about Marv? (sin city character) Thats a cool name for a dog.
how about hypertransport or pick a random element from the periodic table and call it that. you could get something like argon
How about Magellan? Drake? Marco? Ferdinand? not that there's a theme going or anything, though I do like Magellan
My fish are Venice (red-bellied pacu, basically an onmivorous pirhana) and Toledo (chocolate plecostomus.) I'm still looking at other pets. I think my next will be a scorpion. The kids love taunting the fishes. That stopped after he grew big enough to bite off fingers. We've also got a dog, named Gizmo, called Gizkimo, dog, dawwwg, doglet, dogbutt, dogass, fur-bearer, nutcase, lazy, doorstop, and barkbarkbark. Call him anything with a treat in your hand and that's his name. Whatever you name it, you'll call it something else, so don't sweat it too hard. Call it Conroe.
