Cat; Pepper I didn't name him. I also had a cat named Puff, I named one Sugar, Xanadu, and I've been told I have Edwardian pretentiousness when it comes to naming schemes. Personally? I think they're right. I love philosophical, deeply meaningful and symbolic names, as well as long 'unusual' names. Take Grimshaw, Sulien, Miette, Salem and Jedrek for instance. Some of my favourite names. God, please help the next animal I adopt, because that's gonna be one swanky little baby with a terribly obscure and unpronounceable name.

My doggie’s name is Bronte, after my favorite authors. She’s also part Yorkshire Terrier, which is related to the general area the Bronte sisters lived—Yorkshire. I do have to say, as much as I love the name, people don’t seem to get it on the first mention. They almost always ask, What was your dog’s name again?

Two Goldens: Scout (our little prince) and Saylor Bleu (our new baby girl), whose name my teen daughter came up with after searching this site. Her black, fluffy cat is officially "Cleo" short for Cleopatra, however, she is referred to affectionately as, "The Void." (My kid has a sense of humor, clearly.)
