My last big dog was a Belgian Shepherd X called Tarka because she went swimming in the burn when I took her for her first walk and looked just like an otter when her head came out of the water. Current dog is a Chinese Crested Powder Puff called Violet because that was my late Mum's favourite name.
My current Siamese is called Miro,just because it sounds like cat talk.The one before him was Kiki,who became Squeaky over time and I had a Havana female a long time ago whom I called Siani. That was a name I first saw in a Monica Edwards book,referring to a chestnut mare and apparently it is Romany for "brilliant one". She was a very clever little thing.
My last persian cat was called Norris....I couldnt tell you why it came into my head but he just looked like a Norris, lol. We had a golden retriever called Goldie...my grandpa named her so it stayed. Holly our mongrel dog was called that as she was found abandoned on xmas day when she was only about 5 weeks old. My goldfish were named after chefs I used to work with...Charles, Phil and Neil. Charles the head chef had originally bought them for decoration in a vase to sit on a buffet table in the restaurant..I was outraged so took them in. One of the fish had a black line above its top lip, like a moustache and charles had a moustache. I still have Neil 8 years on and hes huge!
