My sister's been naming her Guinea pigs alphabetically which I think is pretty neat.

---

As of right now, we've had:
- Jewel
- Kleo
- Latte
- Mickey
- Nico
- Ollie
- Peanut
- Quartz

---

There were a few before (Journey, Sparkles, Starla, Lolly, Cake, Oreo, Evie, Chocolate) but they were all before she started the naming trend.

---

We've also had budgies (Tinsle, Satin, and Sapphire), chickens (Beatrix and Blossom), goldfish (Silver-Fin and Orange), a lamb (Basil), cats (Toby, Bob, and Barbie), and a dog (Charlie).

My first ever puppy was Whitey (she was a golden retriever, but was stolen a month after I got her, lol); then, I named my next dog Daisy (she was born by one of our old dogs, Goldie, a golden retriever. Daisy was a white lab, and she passed away at 5 years old); I was obsessed with the name Daisy (I still love it), and it matched her white fur. Finally, I named my last dog Belle and her "sister" (they both came as strays to our yard when I was 8- they were most likely hunting dogs) April; they were both chocolate labs. I had a great love for the name Isabella (I still love it), and her brown fur reminded me of "Beauty and The Beast". I also had a calico kitten named Nina for a couple of weeks (I am sadly allergic to cat dander. She was adopted with the name Nina, and I loved it, so I kept it. I do still love the name Nina), and a glofish tetra that I named Mango (because she was a yellow-orangey color) for two years.

My current cats are Wanda and Binx. My former cats were Armando, Santini " Tini", and Ares. I've had dogs named Dutch and Sargent. Some dogs I've known were named Bruno, Sparky, and Beau. I love the name Ivar for a pet, but then I'd also like Ivar for a human.

My cat is called Clara - she was named by my mother after Clara from Isabel Allende's House of the Spirits.

I've previously had a few "family pets" that were named by my parents or my siblings. They were simple names like Danny, Gizmo, or Abby. I'm not personally fond of human names on animals except for very specific circumstances (EX I think "Chad" and "Kevin" are kind of funny names for a cat, and "Mario" would be a fun name for a mustache cat) and I usually like either food names or cutesy names. Something something, rate my cat names list. My two current cats are named Kosher and Mochi. Kosher was his name when we adopted him- I thought it was cute and couldn't think of something better so I kept it. Mochi I named on my own because she's soft and squishy, just like real mochi.

We did have up to three cats at one time with Miffy, Mog 2 and Max all at the same time. Miffy, Meg and Mog were all named after children’s book characters. Gizmo was like a little gremlin and Rocky used his head to get through doors he shouldn’t have been able to open.

Their names are very human-like to me haha
Alyosha is really cute :)

Currently I have a cat named Milo (after the movie 'Milo and Otis'), a cockatiel named Rudy, and a parrotlet named Mochi (like the dessert).

---

In the past I had:
-two cockatiels named Tweetie and one named Taji (supposedly 'crown' in Farsi)
-parakeets named Thomas "Tommy", Jennifer "Jenny" and Baby Pickles "Baby"
-Lovebirds named Mango and Kiwi
-a small black dog named Shadow

Yes my sister and I weren't very creative with our childhood pets' names lol

I've always lived with pet. As far back as I can remember, there was always some type of pet in the house. So suffice to say, I grew up with various animals. Without a doubt, most were cats, but there were also a few others. (A little turtle, a couple of fish, budgies, ferrets, and even a tarantula at some point named spongebob eight legs)

---

The only pets that were mine were these felines:

---

Snowball (cat. Can you guess the color? 😅)

Diamond (My childhood cat. I had her for 16 years. Watched her being born when I was around 8, had to say goodbye to her at 24) My older sister suggested the name and it just stuck.

---

Ones I have now and the ones pictured are Lydia & Josephine "Josie" I chose these names because I absolutely love them. Nothing to it than that.

---

I like Aleksey, Maksym & Fyodor. 🙂

For future animals, it would depend on the type and look. I have had a ton of animals throughout the years. I'm sure I will be forgetting some cats, as we had many barn cats when I was a kid. My sister gave some of our childhood barn cats horrible names.
