@Johnny - Now THAT is funny! We have one beast who showed up on our deck one snowy winter and we had no intentions of keeping him. We had 2 cats in a rented townhouse already, but he somehow gained permanent residence - and has always kept his temporary name. III.

I had a spastic cat that liked to tear through the house, so I named her Audrey Rugburn.

I'm thinking of getting a cat and naming it either Reginald or Django (in memory of Django Reinhardt).

If I had a dog i would name him Aldo or Nedo. You may know but Aldo Nadi and Nedo Nadi are famous fencers. Dead, but famous.

My dogs don't have overly creative names, alas. Dixie and Rufus. But it suits them. I think my next dog is going to have an outrageous sort of name though.
