last two lurcher dogs: Sandy and Sheba
(homed after the old "I am going to shoot all the puppies in the morning" trick!)
Before that another wonderful collie cross lurcher, extravagantly named Falstaff (in honour of his fat little belly as a puppy, and after Robert Nye rather than Will S)
Three current cats, dropped as kittens by crafty little tabby who adopted us a few days before:
Weed (cause he nearly died when mum deserted them at two days, and we kept him alive with a dropper) - now a sleek jet-black killing machine, who will deign to sleep upside down on his back on our bed, sometimes squirelling down under the sheets to sink his claws playfully into any convenient bits...
Grace: a beautiful lithe and effeminate mottled grey kitten who, er, turned out to also be a tomcat ; )
Badger: a strikingly handsome little lion, fluffy dark grey with white socks and chest, with the badger-striped nose. He sings whilst eating, with a hint of Siamese in the tones.

We have two cats -- Killian and Finnegan, and good Irish lads they are. My wife has had nearly dozens of pets in her life, including a goat named Koko, a lamb named Easter and twin toy poodles named Coquette and Criquette.
Has anyone else heard of the method for determining the ideal name for one's drag queen persona (or exotic dancer persona, for the ladies)? It is your first pet's name followed by your mother's maiden name. Mine (Shadow Akins) is not very good, but my wife's is Brittany Thibault, which certainly sounds like a stripper's moniker to me. Anyone else care to reveal their secret personality?

exotic dancer persona
Calico Martin. Hmmm...
I've heard of this idea before, only it was called your "porn movie-star name" and was composed of your first pet's name followed by the name of the street on which you grew up. Somehow "Calico Hill Church" doesn't sound all that alluring either...

*I* heard as, put the name of your first pet and the name of the first street you lived on together to get your soap opera character's name.
Depending on which pet I chose (we had them both when I was young):
My exotic dancer name is Penny McDonald
and my soaper name is Pretty Boy Ackerson
Or maybe, my drag queen name is Pretty Boy. I'm a woman playing a man playing a woman. Wait ... this sounds familiar.

We named our puppy Spunki - "Spunky" for obvious reasons, with the last letter changed because she's female. I see I am no longer the only Pi around here!

Irish Setter (F)- Irish Image, call name : Rosebud Belonged to my Grandparents but I always think of her as my first dog. My first real dog was Rosebud's son :
Irish Setter (M) Irish Image II, call name Charlie (Charlie McCarthy was popular personality at time).
Mini white poodle (F) JayCurt Bon Fete --Because I got her as a combo-birthday gift from sons, call name "Scamper" or "Scamp" renamed by my Jet-flying husband as "White Fang."
Black mini poodle (F) Miss Merry Mod call name Mod.
Grey cat (M) "Sailor" a GREAT cat! He lived at my house in summer when he discovered I had air conditioning and in other seasons between my house and neighbor as equally as he could manage it. Neighbor, the titular "owner" called him "Precious." He didn't deserve that ... I also sometimes called him "Chief" and he purred.
Chinese Crested (F) hairless, Pepsi, the sweetest disposition of any animal or person I ever met,
and finally, now, A Bichon Frise (F) "Pearl" a real Princess.
I have, at various times boarded cats of Character when owners went away for awhile. Just tended to own (?) more dogs as that's what I grew up with.
So : First pet and street name would be : Rosebud Nesmith Sounds too, too, terribly 1920's , dah-ling, n'est ce pas?

And I heard that the pet+maiden was one's porn star name and that middle+street was soap opera name, producing:
Porn star: Potato Grohman (it was a bad name for a cat, but far worse for this profession)
Soap opera: William Appleton (perfect)
