If you have ever named a pet after food, what did you call them?

Asked by canidmajor (21820points) 1 day ago

In recent days, with a number of different people, this topic has come up, so I got curious. My current dog is a blue merle Aussie named Rocky, short for Roquefort. He really does kinda look like moldy cheese. My friends have a couple of golden retrievers called Brandy and Cheddar.
Seems like a thing.
You?

One of my cats was named “pepper” (a spice), and had a gerbil named Huckleberry. His name was bigger than he was.

I named a gray and white kitten Pepper, and we had an orange feline rascal named Huckleberry, although we were thinking of Mark Twain’s character and not of a food.

We had a calico cat named Heavenly Hash

Another male cat white with blue eyes. Called Vanilla – - vet said he would go deaf, never happened. He had a gray spot between his ears on the top of his head the size of a peppercorn, so he wasn’t an albino.

When I was in kindergarten, we had just moved to a new state. I told the kids at school that I had a pony back in S.D. named Licorice. They were appropriately impressed. :D

Did you actually have a pony? I always wanted (rather impractically) a pony. :-)

smudges's avatar

^^ Nope, but I’ve always wanted a horse. Back then I would have given up my teeth to have a pony! Bah! Who needs teeth, right?

canidmajor's avatar

Hah! Who indeed? ;-)

We had a black and white cat, who we adopted as part of a trio of brothers, and named him Oreo.
