Pet names

[kcbob]

Anteater made a comment in another thread about having a pit bull named Frodo. That reminded me of a pair of kittens I got for number two fiancee. We named them Merry and Pippin. That got me to wondering how many other people have had pets (or I suppose siblings) named after a character in LOTR.

Any Saurons out there?

Once i met a Frodo (everybody called him so) so your sig is true.

I had a friend in college that everyone
called Gandalf....he could blow some killer smoke rings. ;)

Oh man. I'd get a horse just for the sake of calling it Shadowfax.

I heard of sombody who had a cat named Balrog.

one of the guys from Led Zeppelin had a dog named Strider - whether that's a Tolkein reference i don't know...

i have 5 cats, & i'm baginning to wonder whether having 5 balrogs around would be any less chaotic & destructive. and i too know a guy named Gandalf.

Knowing about Led Zep's love of Tolkien, obvious by some of their lyrics, I'd bet the dog was named after Strider.

When I get rich(:) ) I plan to get a beautifull white stallion with a silver sheen and I will name him, yep, you guessed it, Shadowfax.

At a cat club that I am at I saw someone had a cat named Frodo :) . I haven't asked if they got the name from LOTR but I assume that they did.

my family just acquired 2 hamsters - i'm thinkig of naming them biter & frodo. biter is pretty obvious, & frodo has 3 legs - the other was bitten off.

Gaito, you belong to a cat club? Cool :)

I know a girl who has a black cat named Arwen and a golden retriever named Galadriel.

When I get a golden retriever, I'm going to name him Finrod. :p

Did you know that the first pet to travel through the Channel Tunnel was a dog called Frodo Baggins ? :)

OOOh, Frodo would be such an awsome name for my pug, except it's a she. :(

I once had a white car (Dodge Dart) that I nicknamed 'Shadowfax', but I suppose that doesn't count.
