Favorite Pet names. Your critters, or others...
What are silly and good, apt, beautiful, clever names you've heard.
Only had turtles ask a kid. Only named one - big boy (real original 😄 ); I think because he actually lasted, and grew. Gave to friends after he got to 2+ inches, they kept him for some years untill 5 inches! They gave him to the well regarded Statan Island Reptile Zoo.
I thought of this bc I was on Google feed, and realized I hadn't seen a particular cockatoo video's being shown in a while.
It's named "Cumulous" (after the puffy white clouds). When they puff up their feathers; it's a pretty apt name. 👍 I love it.
Then a cat fosterer named an orangey kitten - "Bagel". Idk why I found that hilariously delightful!
These are the two I remember.
What about you?

for our pets
Bismo- a goofy orange peach kitten, named after pepto bismol. It just fit.
Another peach cat named Peter Lorre and I kid you not, he looked like him!
My beautiful charcoal cat with a silver undercoat - more commonly referred to as the handsome boy, but the rotten child. He outlived them all at 17 and most definitely ruled the roost.
love.
Found with their dead mother at 1 day old, rescued, bottle-fed, expertly raise until time for adoption. One has a little black mark beside her mouth, so they named her Marilyn. Her brother, of course, was named Monroe. We decided to keep the names. When we call them, it’s always, “Marilyn, Monroe…” Somehow it just doesn’t feel right to call them the other way around.
Other favorites were Satchmo and Sophie, although it gets hard to choose among all the fabulous past pet names we had. 
We didn't get them until they were 12 weeks old. We were looking for a boy, but couldn't separate them after hearing their story. They are bonded for life. Plus, they were born on my mother's birthday. My friend calls them the M&Ms. They're rambunctious almost-6-month-olds now, and very sweet.
For a long time, all the pets had S names. Something my daughter thought up. Then, after my brother died, I brought home his cat, Kyra, and the pattern was broken. She lived to be 21. We had to let her go on New Year's Eve. Marilyn and Monroe are doing their best to help it hurt less.
Funny... I just noticed that we seem to be going alphabetically now. Kyra, then Luna, and now Marilyn and Monroe. The next one will have to start with N, I suppose.
She was an absolute doll and so friendly!
