Mutrix Farmers Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 How about flowers, or singers (obviously not MC Hammer), or favourite aunts/grandmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Tilytinkle Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hello, debbie26pet Well if ones called CB why not have a theme. . .think of some other comedians ( some won't think CB is funny so i use that term loosely fowl or other one name or both ie Spike ( Milligan) Cleese ( John ) Chaplin ( Charlie ) Emery ( Dick) Jasper ( Carott) Ernie ( Wise) Morecombe ( Eric) etc etc Manning ( Bernard) Ms TilywalkslikeDickEmerywhenwearinghighstilettoheels:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggywoo Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 My current Beauties are called: The Gene Genie (beautiful cockerel in the making) - 10 wks old Tallullah (naughty girl) - 10 wks Frock (after my bestest friend) - also 10 wks Pingu (that's who she sounds like) - 11 mths Phillip (little Banty Boy who's so proud and Phillip like) - 8 mths Julian the Pheasant (he looks like a Julian?) My others were: Samantha Mad Sheila Mardy Mary Sweet Anne Asbo Dave Steve I just looked at them and the names popped into my head (apart from The Gene Genie & Frock but they've stuck ) Be original. (btw my cats are called Brian Git, Nuggy Woo and Numpty Gupta Turban, my horse is Sonny Goat and I had a snail called Trevor and a baby hedgehog called Kevin.)

Olly Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Can I just point out, I've said it before on here, that when you go to the vet they tend to call out Pet's name + Your surname. I'm trying to imagine being in the surgery when they shout out 'Brian Git Smith' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 How about flowers, or singers (obviously not MC Hammer), or favourite aunts/grandmas? Oh I dont know I have a rel temptation to call my latest one that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggywoo Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm trying to imagine being in the surgery when they shout out 'Brian Git Smith' It's when they call out Numpty - they don't use surnames at my vet's... The worst time was when I had to take Asbo Dave (full blown loud cockerel in a massive cat basket). They just said "Dave". How I laughed.

Egluntyne Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have a hen called Kentucky! It was chosen to be ironic...and to go with a "food" theme I had going with my first 4 hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2hec Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It's so hard isn't it. And the Vet thing can be very embarassing. I'm hoping to get 3 more girls in May. My hubby suggested Cleo and Portia. When I told a friend she thought I meant Clio and Porsche and asked what the third car would be !!! Since I have a Mini - it's got to be Minnie!!

Ms Tilytinkle Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Teee heee Oooops, i once was told " never assume' I stand corrected . . ah well .. at least all conspired to bring about another whole list from another theme You could combine themes. .and have 'Skinny Minnie' or or Long legged Lucy or Short Tailed Sally Or what about 'Rock Chicks' . .. Zeppelin, Hendrix, Floyd, Cozy (Powell), Satriani ( Joe), Malmsteem ( Ywingie), ZZ Top, Lynyrd & Skynyrd actually you may be too young . .my daughter chose ours from fav tracks by Madina Lake .. .Velvet Underground, Enter Shikari etc cant think of many modern bands but I'm sure plenty others can .. or guitarists . . Slash Blackmore, Clapton, Gilmour, etc Ooh I'm sure something will just spring to mind & suit them when you see them .. they'll have some character just like CB which will guide you Have fun choosing them Ms Tilyrocksandrollsallnightlongteeeheee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I've already decided my ex-batts will be guitarists! Great minds think alike... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Although mine all have proper names, I have somehow managed to give them nicknames too so Henrietta is Baby Bear, Katie is Katkins and Charlotte is Fluffy Bum (obvious when you see her from behind). Do love reading the names other people have chosen, especially like Rhapsody's three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleur Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 you could name them after characters from your favourite book maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Tilytinkle Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Helloooo Rhapsody, not sure about great minds. .your's might be mine's constantly defragmenting the fragments . . which guitarists have you chosen . .and with your other ladies, tee heee what happened to Galileo ? sorry got my coat & heading for the hills Actually extending our bit about guitarists .. could also use guitar names - Fender, Les Paul, Gibson etc hmmm now we're getting silly but there are so many themes ; Rock, Jazz,even types of drums . .
