Many years ago when I was married we had an Irish Setter named Sparkle Farkle. Most of you are too young to remember but there was a TV show called Laugh In and it had a comedy skit about this family where everyone had red hair and freckles and they were called the Farkle family. So, since she had red hair and her personality was sort of goofy like those on the show, we named her Sparkle Farkle. Her brother, who we also had was a bully, so his name was Bulligan... sort of Irish sounding, yet not really a "real" name ... (we got him at 1-1/2 years & already named.)
Pet Names?
I often come across funny, unusual, or interesting names, and thought others might be interested in those names.
The funniest name I have heard in ages came from a friend. He rescued a little siamese kitten from a dumpster and named her after a character in the tv show,Family Guy. His cat's name is Asian Reporter Tricia Takanawa (Trish or ARTT for short)

It cracks me up every single time I hear it. (It helps if you are a fan of the show)
Another great cat name I heard was Cat Fantastic! (the ! was part of the name)
A friend's dog's name is Linkin Bark (after the band Linkin Park )
What are some of your all time favorite pet names?

My Rottie had a great name too, I was a fan of Kenny Rogers and I love his song Rueben James, but because Rube had to have a kennel name attached his official name was Von Eiffel Rueben James, and I used to say that is one heck of a name tag.
I had 4 Burmese cats and three of them were named after groups like Poco, Smokey and Toto and the odd one out was named Pepsi because we used to drink a lot of Pepsi.
I named my Dobie after Shari Lewis because I liked her, and besides Shari was such a beautiful red Dobie and moved very gracefully so I thought the name was appropriate.

When I was a little girl my parents got me a Collie. None of us in the family really cared for dogs but being good parents thought all children needed a dog to grow up well rounded. I was scared to death of dogs, cats, and birds. Guess you could say I was scared of anything that moved.
