I just hope that I am not the only one that does that. I love to name my pets after HP characters.
So far I have: Mr.Ollivander- Budgie( Many people call them parakeets.) Yaxley- Another budgie. Phineas Nigellus Black- And yet another budgie(RIP) I have a Frodo too. He is a green-cheeked conure. I also have a Dallas Winston "Dally"(from The Outsiders). She is a vizsla(yeah I know, Dally is suppose to be a boy.) Here are some pictures: Ollivander is green and Yaxley is blue/grey. Dally. Frodo (Picture was for a Photo Contest. I do not let him play with rings.) Phineas Nigellus Black. So does anyone else name their pets after HP characters or any other book/movie characters?

Our current dog, a black Labrador Retriever, is named Chloe after a song by the band Mother Love Bone. We will probably get a second dog next year, either a German Shepard, a Beagle or a mutt - whatever we can find at the pound - and will name it Draco. Not that I am necessarily a big fan of Draco, I just think it will be a cool name for a dog!

Cool. I love Draco. I actually almost named Ollivander, Draco.

I once named one of our cats Remus!
Unfortunately, the cat is now wild and unfriendly.

I have a cats family of four. A mother and her three kids.
One is called Luna, and she's very lunatic and crazy, so the name is well chosen  Another one is Frodo, but as he is a bully for the other cats when it comes to eating and beeing also the fattest one, I more often call him " Didi"The other cat is called "Niņa" (girl) because she stopped growing when she got pregnant with eight months, and a black beauty called Max.  I like the name Ollivander for a bird, it fits as Ravenclaw is the air sign. |

 Since this topic is discussing pets with HP character names, it is more suited for the Pensieve Parlor. Hold on to all body parts while we take a short trip there  Just so you know, we also have a closed thread here that has wonderful discussions about HP pet names. Feel free to read the great discussions, and quote the posts here as well  *Mobilithreadus* Happy posting  lirene LL Moderator This post has been edited by lirene: Jun 22 2009, 04:41 PM --------------------  |

the love of my life and the only man in my life *sigh* is my boy Nargle. He was a rescue shelter cat and is seen in my signature below. He just turned one on the 18th. He knows how to fetch like a dog...he's just special.

Phoenix is my female stripped kitten that has become a very promising young cat! She has a fire red hair stripe in her forehead right where a 3rd eye would be if she had one. I think of the Order of the Phoenix, and my own Phoenix, and Albus Dumbledores Phoenix - Fawkes.
She was born April 28, 2006 and I am sure I was influenced to name her right on the spot when I met her by my love the Harry Potter books. |

QUOTE(Ravenklaw @ Jun 21 2009, 09:44 PM)  I once named one of our cats Remus! Unfortunately, the cat is now wild and unfriendly. Maybe poor Remus just has a "furry little problem," like another Remus we know and love.  I have a cat named Willow, short for The Whomping Willow, of course. I didn't know when I named her, just how appropriate that was. She's a rather large cat and if she pounces on you, you feel that you've been properly, "whomped."  Nargle is one already? Wow! He's such a cutie! --------------------   *heart, mind, soul avi by {{voldy}}* |
