My chooks are called Terri and Bindi. This only works for birds wearing identical safari suits, preferably khaki.

I’ve kept various species of snakes for many years but rarely bothered to name them, snakes being deaf and not particularly responsive to human wishes in any case. I did finally name my one remaining snake, a Pacific Northwest rattler, thinking that having had him now for 21 years that a name was in order: Fang Shui.

As they live on an Aga you could call them after two other “hawt” chicks… Paris and Nicole.

No way: Dickens is the way to go. I suggest Jarndyce and, er, Jarndyce.
If you’re going that route, get a few more chicks and call them Hope, Joy, Youth, Peace, Rest, Life, Dust, Ashes, Waste, Want, Ruin, Despair, Madness, Death, Cunning, Folly, Words, Wigs, Rags, Sheepskin, Plunder, Precedent, Jargon, Gammon, and Spinach.

I’ve been harboring the desire to get a terrier and name it Wikipedia.

I friend of mine has a terrier named Osama. Some have claimed that he is objectiely pro-terrierist . . .

Strange & Charm, Truth & Beauty? I’m old, I can’t keep track. Sorry.
Gluon & Boson, Lepton & Baryon, Hautboy & Baryton?

My canine sister Brunhilda, a brilliant, ruthless, undisciplined German Shepherd, was, as a puppy, called Lollipop. When she’d get out I had to prise her jaws off the neck of the dog across the street whose name escapes me. What are the dogs saying to each other when they’re barking? Probably something worse than Rush Limbaugh.

@18: it’s a cock, it f*cks hens, deal with it. There are those who suspect that the term “rooster” was specifically invented by people who couldn’t…

Further up, “Funny peculiar” is the usual accompaniment to “Funny ha-ha”, and is far more euphonic.

@21, you missed Strange and Charm, or are those passé in subatomic circles these days?

My family’s names for dogs: Genetics, Bark, Brunhilda, Guru, Rojo, Yeti, Osa (cat Perro, rats Henrietta, Hunky & Horco). My sister’s dogs: Sine, Tangent, Judy, Ivan, Gaea, Luna (current cats Mango & Pixel, kittens Flopsy & Mopsy; #3 didn’t make it). One brother’s dogs: Jemima, Nigel, Bella, Martini (tortoise Huey; original cat Noir; not sure if the albino python or the iguana had names). Other brother’s dogs: Betty, Max, Maggie, Molly, Rusty (pig Arnold). Nephew’s girlfriend’s dogs: Avi & Sophie.

I’d suggest Up & Down or Top & Bottom or Spin & Momentum. Or, since they’re chickens, Overeasy & Sunnyside, Sandwich & Salad, Hotchick & Hippiechick, Hatcheck & Cheekpeck.
