What’s in a name?

I just did a quiz called ‘What Does Your Pet’s Name Say About YOU?!

According to my result it means I am Nurturing :D I like that, nurturing! Not only that but it went on to explain…

“you feel that your pet is a member of your family that you’d do anything for”. No wonder research shows that people who give their pets human names have the closest relationships with their pets and spend the most time with them!

See, all that’s true and it’s because I am a nurturing person. Not because I prefer my cats to most people and because I have slight anti-social tendencies!

I decided to look up the meaning of the names too.

Oliver grown up Oliver…..

Information about this name:
Related Name:Ollie, Olly
Meaning: Symbol of peace. The olive branch
Famous Usage: Musical and film “Oliver!” (196 8) based on the novel by Charles Dickens.
Screen Details: Movie and Stage Musical -’Oliver Twist’ Oliver Stone the film director of such films as Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July.

Poor old Oliver, his name fits him down to the ground. He’s a pure saint! As peaceful as they come :D

 Poppy Poppy…..
Information about this name:
Meaning: Flower with four crumpled petals in red, orange or white colours
Famous Usage: Poppy Lipsticks by Poppy King.
Screen Details: Poppy Montgomery - Australian actress star of Without a Trace.
Personality Plus: The poppy is a wayside flower and this is a pretty name for a wandering female pet

Wayside? Now if it was wayward that would make sense! If Oliver is a saint, well then she’s a pure little devil!

Chalk and cheese they’re like, but I couldn’t imagine one without the other now. The Dynamic Duo :)

  1. Apparently I’m laid back, which I suppose I am :)
    I got “you’re laid back,you dont take life to seriously, and you have a special bond with your pet. instead of picking a name that could fit any dog or cat, you chose one just for him. to you, your pet-like all the loved ones in your life-is one-in-a-million”

    And there was no information on Angel Heart, Bunniska aka Jack the Lad, Foxey Brown, Oscar Wilde (the cat formerly known as….) and Sierra :)
    (and there’s a story behind each and every name I chose!) :)

  3. They sorta like to remain incognito, like myself sometimes :) You can see some pics of them here in my lj http://trinity2003.livejournal.com
    I have a few pics of them in my entries (although you probably won’t be able to see every entry, only the ones I make public). I have a load on my camera at the mo, but just haven’t downloaded them yet. As soon as I do, I will email you a few so you can have a looky :) Actually I think nearly every pic on my phone is a pic of one of the cats :)
