One of the most fun things about bringing a pet into your family is choosing the name. There are some people who love the traditional – Spot, Fido and Rover, some who like the popular – Max and Bella and some the outrageous – Sir Broccolli? Ozzy Pawsborne?  The last two come from a list of the wackiest pet names compiled by a pet insurance company, and it’s pretty funny to read.

Another method of naming a pet is to come up with something based on the pet’s personality or appearance. Another friend likes to use names of his favorite Italian soccer players: Baggio and Dino are his cats. A tailsuntold favorite is Lucky – he’s the fourth Lucky his owner has had over the years – it’s perfect because it’s gender neutral and Lucky’s owner always feels a little luckier thanks to his dog.

What are your favorite pet names? We would love to start a list and can post your pet’s picture and name on upcoming blogs.
