Fluffy got his name from one of the people I work with. When I told her I was getting a corn snake she laughed and said I should call him Fluffy. I liked the irony, so it stuck.
When we got our first cat, Merlin, he was originally named Zugar. I didn't like it and we spent ages trying to come up with a name and as he has 6 toes on 3 of his paws we decided to call him Merlin. Only later I realised should have given him another name what with the 666 and all that! Our next cat, Poppy had her name when we got her and it suited her so we kept in. Last but not least was Floyd, named after Pink Floyd. Used to have coldwater fish before moving into tropical and we had a Black Moor called Ritchie, after Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple and Rainbow fame. |

Alice - My eldest sons snake. Named after one of his friends who asked to have it named after her even tho it's a boy.
Izzy - Came with the name
Swayze - Named after Patrick Swayze as he is a Ghost corn
Peanut - A butter corn hense peanut butter
Carmellia - Liked the name and since it has sounds of caramel and amel which makes up butters I thought it appropriate
Connie - Has saddles the colour of conkers
Noisy - Named by youngest son. According to him Noisy sounds like Swayze and they are a similar colour (even though he is a lavender)
Palace - Again named by youngest son. Palace rhymes with Alice and they are both amels
Lizzy - Again named by youngest son. Lizzy rhymes with Izzy and they are both carolinas.
Mr Hoggie - pretty unoriginal for a hognose
Miss Piggie - Was too lazy to think of another name for the female hognose
Rio - Named by my eldest son. I was going to name him Elvis (the king) or Galaxy as he is chocolate and white like galaxy ice lollies but so far Rio has stuck.
Kizzy - came with the name as a rescued kitten
Tyler - came with the name. Most of the dogs taken on by Support Dogs are renamed by the fundraising team, sponsors, big donators, or in memory of someone involved with the charity |
4.1.0 corns - Izzy (Carolina) Alice (Amel) Peanut (Butter Motley) Swayze (Ghost) Carmellia (Butter Motley)
0.1.0 cat - Kizzy
1.0.0 Dog - Dobbie
Location - Chesterfield, Derbyshire

Kim Chi - Chameleon - named by daughter for some reason

| i haven't got names for my new 2 yet but for my blood stripe i had suggestions for vampire names as he does love to strike at me and bite and he is a blood stripe and one of the best suggestion was Lestat and I've also thought of Quin from blade cos he liked to bite people too lol |

Liking the True blood theme Mick (i'm a fan too, oooh last episode of the 4th series to watch on monday). I think i'd want a Godric or an Eric though...
Vampire theme is cool, not sure if i have a favourite vampire - i'd perhaps have to think about ol' Buffy/Angel characters lol |

The cornsnake is named Storm which my son came up with from his Beastquest books.
The beardie is Spike, the kids chose that one.
The cats are Tigger (Winnie ther Pooh), Luggage (Terry Pratchet, if you've read Discworld that will tell you all about that cat) and Castiel which was my choice for the beardie but I was outvoted.
Only one fish has a name - Barney, named by the kids again.
None of the stick insects have been named. |

Before i actually bought Eddie i had planned to name my corn Smaug if it was a boy (after the dragon from the hobbit) im a big lord of the rings nut and have gone through a lot of lord of the rings/hobbit related names over the years and smaug was one of the few remaining names i hadn't used however the day before picking up "smaug" i was at the o2 in london for an iron maiden concert i was on such a high on the way home and the morning after that i decided to change Smaug to Eddie firstly in honour of the almighty Maiden! and secondly in Honour of one of my favourite characters from bottom (edward elizabeth hitler)
Have to say to Garrie though being a big film geek i spotted the neverending story significance on day one and thought it was uber awesome loved the first movie not so keen on the sequels and rather miffed off to discover a remake is on the cards ugh
As for Eve what can i say i had a biblical moment and thought itd be ironic |

Well i usally let my son name our animals but i always know what he will say first..so it goes a little like this (hes 4)....ok Lennon what shall we name this one.....erm mario...no your not having mario you cant name everything mario,ok erm luigi then!!!! lol So since we have a snow corn and she looks pink i let him have peaches after princess peach or daisy after maior cart characters and so he picked peaches...i already have a pond full of fish named mario lol!!
my dog when we went to vist her at the rescue home did nothing but jump,usual for a collie and so we named her beanie after a jumping bean,she was named lady!! she also answers to beanie meanie or beanster,our old dog was albino and deaf so we were used to a dog having more than one name lol
My torie cat was called sprite when i got her but in no way did it suit her so i named her tawney which is a name for all her colours
My ginger cat (couldnt be the only red head in the house lol) was actually named after the drink murphys  |
2 cats murphy and tawney
1 border collie beanie
50 pond koi/gold fish garden frogs
1 snow corn peaches
