We've got two cats, a female by the name of Grendel Catherine, and a male who goes by the name Beowulf Simon.

My baby kitten, who I love dearly, is named Panini.
My last cat, who died a few months back after ten years of being the best pet I have ever knows, was named Trouble.
We had a cat who dissappeared a few years back and her name was Cabbage. Cabbage was "special." She would get lost everytime she went into our kitchen and would fall asleep licking the wall.
We have a huge, demonic orange cat who lives outside and her name is Poppy.

My (at the time) 4-year-old brother named the new pup Copper (he likes the Fox and The Hound movie), that wouldn't be weird except that the dog is pitch black (black lab/bloodhound mix). Naturally a year or so later when they got a second dog (bloodhound/Great Pyrenees mix) that is gold colored, they named him Blackie. :rolleyes:

I named my dog Sable, because he is solid black - what I didn't know for some time is that some cultural groups use it as a name - a feminine name - and people are constantly assuming he's a girl. Doesn't seem to bother him any, though!

A friend of mine had a black lab mix named Nixon - he was pretty stubborn, but I don't think that's where the name came from.

we also had a dog named Randolph Aloysius...why? because that was the most random, weird, pompous name we could think of...

Our chocolate labrador is named Tabasco because he ate the peppers off the bushes in our backyard. I do believe that dog would eat anything.

Our female cat is named Jelly. Her full registered name is Angeline D'Amerique. Our male cat is Blix, after the mischevious elf. They both grew into their names quite nicely:).

Choose names carefully, they have a way of becoming self fulfilling prophecies!

My Belgian Malinois' name is Ninja because of the black mask-like coloration on his snout and the black fur on his throat. He stealthily steals cushions off the couch using what I think is doggie Ninjitsu...

Even though our JRT was named Moose, he was a terror. Great dog, but an aggressive little thing that wreaked havoc around other animals, so we often jokingly referred to him as Achmed.

I used to have a tarantula named Pookie. Because I thought having a giant, hairy, fanged monster with a cute name was funny.

Lots of cats over the years, but afraid I'm pretty unimaginative: Saki, Fluffy, Cassie, Buddy, Blackie, Lucky, Lizzie...the 'ie' sound at the end makes it easier to call them in for meals.

We did inherit a cat called 'Princess Greytail'...until I pointed out to my husband that I was pretty sure it was a castrated male. We shortened it to an unimaginative 'Prince.'

And I admit to a low moment of once naming a cat 'Bugly'...short for 'butt-ugly'.
