I had two tabby cats for fifteen years. I found them both in the yard, they wouldn't tell me their names or give me any other information, so I named them John Doe and Jane Doe.

Named as such when I got him, I thought he resembled Peter Lorre's character from Mad Love with a big round white head. Not sure if it's so accurate, but the sweetheart is stuck with it anyways :p

This is Otaku (Japanese for, more or less, "nerd") ripping keys off the laptop with the launch codes. Otaku is a yellow-sided green cheek conure, which means trouble in any language.

A long time ago we had two dogs that their former owner named "Wallygeeyapoopalot" and "Knobbyknickerbocker".

Read 'em out loud.

When I was a kid my brother came home with a screech owl that we nursed to health all summer and successfully released. We called him J. Keith Funsten after the former president of the NY Stock Exchange. Around the same time he came home with a tiny baby snapping turtle. We named him (presumptiously presuming it was a "he") Aelfgifu, thinking Aelfgifu was a Saxon King. Turns out she was a Saxon princess. Whatever. Watching him/her devour an earthworm was like a miniature battle of dinasaurs.
I called my old cat Gooby Dog, for reasons I can't explain.

You may have noticed my interest in newspaper cartoons from these names :D

If I have another dog he'll probably be called Bonzo, after the famous 1920s/30s dog created by George Studdy:

I don't know if the names would be considered odd, but I have a pair of Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mixes that are named Bogie and Bacall.

We also had three cats that are named Buffy, Willow, and Xander. We wound up giving Buffy to our daughter, though, so just down to Willow and Xander.

Cheers,
Tom
