Porn name is easy and funny; Sarge Forrest.

Cats, my folks always took in turns naming em. So Ma would have something that reminded her of the pet - Wicket, cos of the Ewok - and Da would be the 'funny' name, last one being Deeds, as in "D for Dog".

Dogs, old man being ex army he named em after ranks; Major, Lou (Lieutenant), Sarge (my childhood pet) and now Brig.

Meself, I don't have any pets right now; house is too small for what I want. But when I do, it'll be a Staffy, he'll be called Tank and he'll be mine :)

Well, thanks for commenting. With all the recent Redditors coming here and all these quaint introductions and personal stories, I figured this post would be in the top 10 for sure. Not that I care about scoring points at all. I'm more interested in building community - and not wasting my time on lame posts. The wording wasn't the best I guess.

I'm not gay but Sarge Forrest is fucking hot. One of those big bear sailors. Good name. Wicket not so much. Wicked... well.

I'm not kidding, I had that idea too. Next cat I get I'm gonna name Dawg. Last name Schtyle. Middle name Engelbert. I guess it's not as original as I thought. Gotta come up with something else. Tell your dad he's funny. Looking.

I thought I was too broad talking about past and future pet names. I guess I should have also asked about imaginary friends, ghosts, bigfoots, elves...
