We collected Voldemort just after seeing HP Deathly Hallows part 2 in the cinema, so my daughter wanted a Harry Potter name, she chose Voldemort because I said it as a joke and being 10 yrs old I think she likes to spite me lol.He came with the name 'Ebony' but was probed for selling and turned out he was a male rather than female as the owner had thought.

The other pets are :Staffy called Libby (named after the statue of Liberty as we were in New York just before picking her up from the breeder) Scottie - Georgie, she needed a tom boy name and Husband suggested Georgina as a joke, I liked it but shortened it to Georgie.
The cats - Maddie because she ran about like a mad thing as a kitten, Chilli Dip, dark tortie with a salmon tail tip that looks like it's been dipped in chilli ;-)
The hens :
Savannah, Georgia, Phoenix, Cheyenne (all large fowl so given American names cos everything's big in America, Amber (came with the name)
Bantam girls: Hermione, Fleur (Harry Potter), Saffron (she's orange), Isis (just suited her), Ocean (she's a blue frizzle so named after the Ocean for colour and wavey feathers), Raven & Starling both Modern Game and look like garden birds :-)

Taggart was originally called Tiddles because he eats mice, is deaf and never answered to any name. I heard Johnny Cash singing 'A boy named Sue' on the radio and felt guilty so changed it to the more apprropriate Taggart. The strange thing is that he hasn't tagged me since.

Woody and Mirkey were pre-named by the SSPCA and I always defer to experience.

@ Mamma, Be thankful you are not married to me. I've been mistaken for an infamous doctor.

I named my snake Plissken after Kurt Russels' character in Escape from New York.

My cat is called Dexter, which was the name he had when I got him from the Cat Protection people. I liked that name anyway, and he is always out killing stuff, much like Dexter from the show.
