He was a year old, but they had just named him so told us we could change it if we wanted, but his name is fantastic. People always compliment it and I have to admit I didn't come up with it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-the-name-for-your-pet#post-837202 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:00:43 +0000 MediaNaranja 837202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One dog was a rescue and came with his name (Winston).</p> <p>The other dog got her name from her circumstances....she was a rescue from a dumpster and looked pretty rough when we got her. "dumpster" seemed like too sad of a name so we named her Rags instead.</p> <p>The cat (that isn't ours, but comes over daily to hang out) is named Bumper. My landlady found him as a kitten hiding out in her car bumper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-the-name-for-your-pet#post-837185 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:56:32 +0000 DigAPony 837185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two cats, and with both we just brainstormed names. I got my first cat with my ex-fiance, and we were trying to think of names associated with movies we like, and we came up with Pippin from Lord of the Rings and thought it fit.</p> <p>My husband and I got our second cat a few years ago. She's black and orange, so we brainstormed names that would fit with her coloring, and we came up with Luna (means moon in Spanish..moon...night...black cat). It fits her well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-the-name-for-your-pet#post-837172 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:54:25 +0000 mrs. 64 837172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cat is named after a TV character. I was totally uninspired when we got the dog and we had a hard time naming her. We finally picked something we liked, but didn't like enough for a future human child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-the-name-for-your-pet#post-837149 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:49:48 +0000 Ra 837149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stepfather HATES dogs. He also hates his middle name. So, I named my dog Dewey after his grandpop who hates him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-the-name-for-your-pet#post-837143 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:48:49 +0000 Charm54 837143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We saw him and thought of the mouse Gus from Cinderella. He is very similar :) </p> [attach=2503/13/mnzwte.448x600.IMG_0060.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-the-name-for-your-pet#post-837138 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:47:36 +0000 Sweet T 837138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog was also a rescue. He was 4 when we adopted him and already had a name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-come-up-with-the-name-for-your-pet#post-828632 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 18:45:00 +0000 heffalump 828632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dog was a rescue. DH got him at 4 months old and he came with his name. It suits him though :) </p>
