Maxud, I reconsidered the case while reading your post.

Even humans, because THERE ARE CANNIBALS OUT THERE!!!

Ophone!!!!!

Being owned by 2 cats, one called missy. (the other came with a nice age and a name)
I saw this part of a movie, and a mother was angry with her little girl and started with....Missy!

Cannot imagine them on a plate, with any kind of sauce!

is true we give funny names to our animals ( not Kinky lingerie or Hard like a Rock most f the time Laughing but funny).

I've 3 cats and 2 dogs so here we go
older cat: Funky ( she's not funky at all..the proper name should be New Death Metal..she's crazy and terrible)
middle one: Blues.. appropriate! Chill Out would have been appropriate too!
yungest: Ziripì---( full name ZIRIPILLO..good luck with the pronuncation Razz )

Dogs:
my babe/biggest piece of my heart: HIRA ( mean diamon in old sanscrit but it Italian without the H is anger...but she's called also Patata, Topolina, Ciciu, Potty etc. Laughing )
the fat babe: Garcia ( now why a british bulldog must be names as a mexican football player is a mistery that only my boyfriend should solve) known as G or G Cloney ( 'cause in Italy a bulldog create the same fans effect that Mr. No martini No party)

and if I would ever have a horse ( yes please!) I would call him : IRACON ...that doesn't mean a thing..but I love it!
the one I had while I was young was a russian pureblood so he was called: Tovarish ( friend in russian) but he arrived with the name.

my mum beat me, when I was a child we used to have from 4 to 8/9 dogs..so one day running out of fantasy she called a lost female of shepard: A poor addandonate little doggy ( Una povera cagnina abbandonata) so she was called UNA ( means: a or one), then she had a cat called ASIA and she used to call her with a nickname: CINA ...ain't she mad?
