Random Brilliance

People give their pets unique names at times. Some give humdrum names, too. There are literary names, Bible names, TV show names, etc. Right now our only remaining cat is named Harper, after the engineer on the TV show Andromeda.

I loved the different names in the musical “Cats”, especially Old Deuteronomy. Some pets are named after physical attributes. “Spot” and “Bootsie” are the first that come to mind. Growing up, we had a cocker spaniel named Kringle, because he was born on Christmas Day. One of his litter mates was Kris.

In the comic strip “Monty”, the character of Moondog named his parrot Pilsner, after his favorite drink. I thought that was brilliant. There are a lot of alcohol names that would make awesome pet names.
