NAME THAT PET!
Name That Pet! is one of those funny,
uncategorizable books that are just for pet lovers.
It is really a great book!
Lisa Ann DAngelo, Managing Editor, Book Review Caf

Pet naming has become one of the first

emotional connections
we make with our new
friend. The author has included humorous, and
both contemporary and historical namesalong
with defini- tions and references. This is a fun
book to read and useful in its own way.
Susan J. Richey, Librarian, Santa Monica

our next house pet we will be sure to refer to

in our family for the past 30 years, we found

unexpected variety of options not only amused
me, but low and behold, I did find the perfect
name for my new kitten!

ongratulations, new pet owner! You have

acquired the newest member of your family. He is
loving, soft and playful,

or scaly and creepy-crawly. He could either be small

or large, thick furred or hairless, exuberant or lowkey. What he needs is a name that fully describes his
personality, his uniqueness. A name he will respond
to happily, though he will never get a complex from
an unflattering name!
Here in these pages exist over 3000 choices that
the whole family can have fun with. Methodically go
through each name and take a moment to conjure
up an image. If the shoe fits
If your children have a favorite cartoon or
storybook character, they will have a lot of fun
choosing from these chapters. Do not be surprised
to see many that trigger fond memories from your
11

own childhood. Or, if you are a family of music

aficionados, there are many musicians that you may
want your pet to honor.The kids may love Beyonc or
Sisqo, though Wolfgang or Amadeus may reflect your
own classical preference.

Our culture has produced so many T.V. and movie

stars or memorable characters. Benji is just one of
many endearing wonder dogs that have come from
these mediums. How about calling him Doogie
Bowser, or Alfalfa or Spanky from Our Gang? Who
does he remind you of?
If your pet is a northern breed, that chapter will
provide names that are more indigenous to a colder
climate such as Aspen or Grizzly. Perhaps, if you
have a purebred from a particular country or region,
see the section on Ethnic Origins. Watch the
amusing looks you get when introducing your English
Bullmastiff, Big Ben. If you own a Russian wolfhound
and are a Sacramento Kings fan, then Vlade could
not be more perfect.You may even select a name
based on your own culture.
Having acquired two lovebirds, or siblings from
the same litter, the chapter Dynamic Duos will list
many famous pairs, both male and female, or a
combination of each. Or, if his color is outstanding: a
beautiful Irish Setter, Chocolate Lab, or Harlequin
Great Dane, try Scarlet, Kahla or Oreo. The color
section will provide names that will make him stand
out even more.
If you have a new exotic Himalayan or Abyssinian
feline friend, see the chapter on Cats.
Do you have a wicked sense of humor? Naming
your toy poodle Hannibal the Cannibal will surely

nAMEtHAt

raise some eyebrows.
But if its your pet that has a

wit of his own, then review the Funsters chapter.

Here youll find names like Hijinks or Gilligan that
capture his whimsical nature. Also found here are
some of the worlds renowned comedians.

IntroduCtI
on

Besides all the people you might love, do not

forget those we love to hate. In Antiheroes there
are

infamous

villains

and

the

like.

Although

historically there are the more noteworthy pets,

perhaps your animal companion would like to be
named after a First Family pet, as described in
Presidents Pets. Just be sure his name does not
sound similar to an obedience command.
For everyones tastes, from sports to music, there
is a name for any pet. Be creative and take your
time. Remember, you will be referring to this name
each day and forever. Let your imagination run wild;
the possibilities are endless. Have fun!
