Naming Tyrant and Pterror

Tyrannosaurus and Pterodactyl or more commonly known as Tyrant and Pterror are the two Bushy Tailed Jirds Boys that I am ever so grateful to enter into my life. I’m not sure what their original owner called them or if she had named them something before but they really do fit their names.

I’ve always had a little bit of a fascination with dinosaurs and I’ve watched those BBC specials and such all about them. I’m sure some people will think ‘Pterror’ is me trying to have a cool spelling for Terror however that’s just not the case. Originally Tyrannosaurus’s nickname was going to be Tyranny (but that was too close to Tranny/ Transgender so I scrapped that)

I guess when choosing their names I wanted them to have an uncommon one that I’d never heard anyone else call their pets. I mean my first hamster was named Pumpkin and the three dwarf hamsters I had after that Oreo (my mum’s) No Name (My brothers that I decided to call Mr.Cuddles after the fact) and Mr. Snuffles (My hamster) they were all girls.

Then again naming things unique names is something I’ve always done. I used to have this giant pink spotted snail that I called HubertCumberdale and I named one of our JellyBean Cichlids ‘Mr.Picklehead.’

Question: What's the most unique pet name you've heard?
