I thought about naming my orange kitten Kumquat so I could say "Come, Quat!" But she ended up as Coconut the Cheesy Peuf.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I suppose Sparky is a quintessential dog's name, but I always imagine it being shrieked by a really annoying precocious TV kid.
I did grow up with a dog named Sparky but I was not a television kid. Not so shrieky, somewhat precocious.

My sister names her cats after the vegetation they were found in: Juniper, Rhubarb, Cody (buffalo grass), etc.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Roobarb was the name of a British cartoon dog, who put out a Glam Rock single, as one did in 1970s Britain.

anyone looking to buy things from Land's End soon? I just put in an order (swimsuits) and can send people a 50% coupon right now, but do not want to spam people.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My parents had a dog named Sterling and then my cousin married a guy named Sterling. That seemed like an unusual name for a person to me.
I had a roommate with a cat named Kamir. Say it out loud. "C'mere Kamir"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, I like Moxie.
Once, long ago, I ran into a guy with a couple of tiny dogs. I don't remember if they were Yorkies or some other kind of terrier or Chihuahuas, but you get the idea. And they were tugging or something so he said, "Widget! Gizmo! Stop it!"

I know a family whose first born was given the name of their family pets/horse. All the same name. Not sure if that held out for all future pets, but I think they had a second child and it was not named the same.
