Sebastian, our black cat, I know, but his favourite resting position in our home is the top of a seven book case. Makes him look rather well read and quite intimidating at that.

I know a guy with a corn snake called Ian.
We had a rabbit called Ian when we were kids. My dad named him after Ian Dury.

My girlfriend's mate has a rabbit called Alan.

One of the neighbours was moaning about having to snake-sit when her son went to University and left her with his snake, who he named Sophie.

My sister's last choccy lab was called Bryan, and her latest choccy lab is called Reggie. She really wanted two so she could have Ronnie and Reggie.

When she first moved into her new house, Bryan used to hump stuff all of the time. I think her neighbours thought she was shouting at her husband to tell him to stop humping.

My cats are called Jessica and Lucy, our old cat was called Clemmie after Winston Churchill's wife. None of our cats have ever had typical pets names they have always had normal names.

I had a couple of goldfish called Dennis and Maggie, then my brother got some and called them Tony and Peter aka the Prince of Darkness (he was a black fish after all).

I have two cats, Phil and Eddie, two dogs- Ralph and Barnabas (Barney,) used to have a rabbit called Gary.
It's better calling pets unusual or human names!

Is that an upper-class dog, pronounced Rafe?

My cat is called Holly for two reasons - she was a Christmas kitten and I quite like weather forecaster Holly Green.

It always makes me smile when watching Gogglebox - one of the families has a Rottweiler (I think - they have about 4 large dogs and not sure which one it is) called Dave
It gets called David when he's being told off!
