i'm tired of human names.
I bet you have a gerbil named Elmer Fudd that you do unnatural things with as well.
nah, but if that gets you off, i don't mind you thinking about it.
Well at least you're open minded enough to be a good sport about it.

One of my two cats is named King Buzzo. So a not crap from me.
My girlfriend named the other one, so I couldn't name him Dale.

My dog is named Atiba after this guy.
She's a girl, and it's a dude's name, but it works so well. She gets called Tubby though, cause she was overweight for a while.
And my other dog was named after Molly after the singer from this band called
The Cinema Eye. I think I just liked the name Molly for a dog though.

I had a goldfish that my roommate called "The Dude", no lie. He died in 1992, six years before Lebowski came out. I found him stuck to the floor one morning when I came home from work. I scraped his stiff carcass up and flushed him down the shitter, which promptly overflowed.

my eldest cat is named Chester because that's what my friends that i got him from named him...and i thought it unfair to change it on him since he had had it for a year...
my youngest kitty is named Lilly, for a very dear and important person in my life that passed away last year...

About a week and a half ago, while my mother-in-law was dropping off her dog for my wife to watch for the day (as she does every weekday), a dog, an Aussie mix about four or five months old, ran into our house. She was dragging one of those wire chains with her, she had bitten through it.
Anway, after contacting Humane Society and putting up flyers with no response, it looks like she's ours. We were thinking of names and I came up with National Treasure: Book of Secrets, but that was shot down. Eventually I came up with Jodie Foster, which beat out Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal.
So to make a short story long, I have a dog named Jodie Foster.

My friends and I also prefer this approach.
"Shark Attack"
"xTHUGLIFEx"
"Fireball" (pronounced Fie-yahbaww)
A friend of mine (owner of cat "xTHUGLIFEx", though he insists on calling him "Graham") recently got a kitten and named him Marc. With a C.
I think this is pretty gae/y.
THUGLIFE IS AN AMAZING NAME FOR A CAT! damn I wish I thought of that...
