Since none of them answer to their names, we could swap out Yoda and Leia's names, but honestly Yoda looks like a Yoda, so Leia just needs a new name.

1. Lyle
Or must it be a SWars name? Obie, maybe? Lars, if you want an "L" name.

3. Luke is her (his, i guess, but it'll take a little getting used to) brother.
We've also got a Vader and a Yoda. LeftyKid named them.

6. We had that happen to us and Sweetie contentedly lived out his
life as Sweetie. It did not appear to affect him and I love when people have stories behind names. I wouldn't rename him but I am sure that makes me cruel or something.

7. They're up for adoption, so their names are likely temporary anyhow.
Unless they get adopted by geeks.

11. Jessie was Jillie until she came to us.
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 09:46 PM by MrsGrumpy
MrG and I had a huge erm...discussion. I really liked Jillie and he wasn't going to let someone else (the breeder) name "my goddamned dog" so we settled. He initially wanted to name her Jennie but he had a girlfriend named Jennifer before me who still kind of "had it" for him. I told him that, while I knew he wasn't naming her Jennie for that reason, the human Jen would be all flattered and perhaps start stalking him again. Like I said, we settled. Funny thing... pet names. Almost as trouble causing as baby names.

13. Hehehe...
Hey. :hi: WannaB goes by what, by most, would be considered the "boy version" of her given name. I guess some of me rubbed off.

30. I had a girl kitty who lived with the name of Duke because I thought she was
a little tom kitty when I got her.

10. That wouldn't stop Haruka's mom
She had that happen with a breeder. She bought a female cat and named it "Cuddles." The vet informed her otherwise. 12 years later, he's still "Cuddles."

Of course, she ended up with a random litter of bunnies because the vet said her two bunnies were boys. She took them in to get neutered, and it was "Oops, I made a mistake. He's a boy, and she's pregnant."

And now, we have two bunnies. Her mom has three new bunnies, because she won't give them to people she doesn't know. One of them is a therapy bunny at the nursing home now.

19. An extraordinary nutsack?
Anakin is a cute name. There's no guarantee he'll go over to the dark side.

31. it is fortunate that the sex of humans at birth is easier to determine
having to rename say a 12 year old would create problems
