As you might realize,we aren't those kind of people that come up with clever names for our pets.
There are several strays that 'hang out' in our yard - "Two Tone", is another tux, "The Black Cat" is, as its name implies, all black and of course, "the Little grey cat", remarkably enough all grey.
But this shouldn't come as a surprise - our first son almost came home from the hospital as "Male child".

Freida, Mary, Sophie, Betty, Greta, Lucy, Panorama, and so on. Now, Carmen & Margo. All girls. We've had lots of cats in our 45+ years.
All our dogs have been boys. Matthew, Barney, Walter & now, Vincent.
Some times the names are connected to something, other times just what we thought was a fun name.
