Has anyone else ever named their pets this way?

Question

Since I've been an adult, I've named all my pets after "adult" things like alcoholic beverages and drug references.

I've had:
Bud
Zima
Corona
Tecate
Mary Jane
Cannabis
Sativa
Damiana
Captain Morgan
and a few others

Does anyone else think this is weird?

Oh I have rats and mice. Hence the short life span.

Answer 1

yea i think that you might have a drug addiction or somethin lol

Answer 2

I intend no insult towards your naming choices, but I emphatically don't agree with that practice. I have only named two of my pets after beverages, and that's an extremely long story. Two of my cats were named Mocha and Latte; Mocha is still alive and well, but Latte died two and a half years ago due to an illness. However, all of my other pets have had names just the way I would name children. They're my companions, members of my family as surely as my husband and children are. Even those with less intellect are; we don't consider members of our family any less members based on I. Q. scores, do we? Frivolous names demean their lives; that name is what I refer to them as for their entire lives. It is the verbal and visual symbol for their existence, and I think it deserves more than the name of a cheap beverage or drug that does so much less than my companions do. It's a sacred trust, to name another being, and I think you would do better to give your rats names that reflect all your hopes and wishes for them in their lives.

Answer 3

specific, my purely son is the third new launch of comparable names beginning up with my grandfather, his super grandfather. His son, born in the warmth of my divorce subjects, became into named some thing else. one in all our canines from earlier became into given to us on Valentine's Day. Valentine became his call. yet another canine, a black domestic dog, became into named Rudy after the Cosby tutor character. My toddlers have been all named after kinfolk participants..

Answer 4

I don't think it is weird at all. If you like spirits, you should name your dogs after that. Still, I can't imagine yelling the name Cannabis when he shits on your carpet. My parents had a dog named Chivas Regal, we called him Chev for short.

Answer 5

I think it means you have a one track mind. Also, what you name your pet says a great deal about you. Would you really want to tell your boss that your dog's name is cannabis??

Answer 6

No , it's not wierd, it's quite common. Many people name their pets after their favorite pasttime!
My in-laws dogs were I. W. Harper and Mick (short for Michelob Lite).
The only wierd thing is that you have so many, what kind of pets do you have?

Answer 7

What you name your pets is your business. None of these are obscene enough to embarrass you if you had to call your dog in a public place.

BTW- My aunt and uncle named their black lab "Carlie" after a brand of Carling's Black Label Beer.

Answer 8

I had a cousin who named a dog Indio because they were planning to move to Indio. My mother named our dog Campo because she used to live in the campo. And our brother named his dog Koa, because the mobile home park we live in used to be called Kampgrounds Of America. My other cousin named her dog Frisco, because her mom is a 49ers fan.

Answer 9

not at all weird
know some people that named their dogs Mich and Mich lite
the dogs were father and son
obviously short for
Michelob - Michelob Lite
they were purebred dogs and this was their registered names

Answer 10

I had a friend who named her cats Bailey and Jamison. I liked the names so much I named my cat Bailey.

Answer 11

one of my cat's is named Buddy, and I call him Bud for short. (I live in St. Louis and my client is Anheuser Busch.....). I even have a picture of him peeking out of a Bud Light box....
