Pets named after guns?

[spyke]

I am wondering if im the only one who has named a pet after a gun. Am I just a wackjob? Here are my 3 Rugers...

We have an Australian Shepard-Collie mix named "Browning HiPower" and called "Brownie."
Our now deceased 1/4 Siamese cat was "Walther PPK."

An old lady that lived nearby when I was a kid had a mangy dog named Remington, it looked like she found it in a dumpster. Good dog though.

Dawgtraxx bought a rottie pup from me....named him Spencer

 

[bubbaturbo]

No but I met an ATF guy once who was named "Agent Smith" apparently after a Colt revolver.

No gun names for our dogs. People names work best for us-Currently Millie and Augie. In the past Megan, Maggie, Sam, Wilbur(friend of mine had same type dog named Orville so we referred them as the wrong brothers) Mimi and Susie.

We had a dog that attacked our son. I changed her name to bullet. She had a lead deficiency. That is the closest I have had to a pet named after anything related to a firearm. I laughed; however, when I read the post about the dog named Browning Hipower.

Named my pointer Gauge

Our first Black Lab, Alabama-born in 85, passed away in Texas in 97, was named Magnum. His legacy lives in on Maggie, born on VA's eastern shore in 2008!

None of my guns (Glock 19, CZ PCR and Kahr PM9) would make good names for my pet(s).

I named my pet kitten, SIG.

I've got to admit I laughed at the image of somebody standing on their front porch calling out "Here, Kahr!" "Come, Kahr, Come Home!"

(although now that I think about it, a friend of mine did name his dog Uziel [after the designer of the Uzi, Uziel Gal])

What about yelling, "Hey Glock 19! Stop chasing that cat!"

Does a 20mm cannon count? My cousin had a black lab named "Phantom Jet."

Yea your A Wackjob. Enjoy it.

 

[Snifferhound]

One of my Goldens is named Remy, short for Remington.

 

[SalchaketJoe]

My dog's name is Ämmo"

 

[The_Pretender]

Gives a whole new meaning to "Remington really bit me in the ass today."

A guy at my work named his kid Colt. He told me he named him for the firearms company.

We just got our new GSP Rescue yesterday, came from Kentucky...Ruger

 

[Kingofthehill]

Found a dog on the road once, we took him in and he took to the name "Colt"... owner was found about 3 weeks later.

I just got a ferret i was going to name Ruger because of his coloring but somehow we settled on "Walter".... not Walther but Walter.

oh well

LOL

My dog's name was Booger. Unless someone comes up with a firearms company named Booger, I'd say she's in the clear.

Oh, by the way, it was my wife who named her! I love my wife.

Booger passed away 2 weeks ago, and boy do we miss her somethin' wicked.

None of my guns would make good dog names.

Not strictly gun-based but related nonetheless - I named my Doberman bitch Sasha. Her name stemmed from the diminutive of Alexandra (Alexandros, "Protector of Men").



Always liked Howie though.

Nope...no pets with gun names
2 cats: Pretty and Rocky (Rockstar)
a dog: Stella
Guinea Pig: Bandit
Leopard Gecko: Crickets
And many fish that shall remain nameless....literally

Although, my fiancée doesn't like handguns and knows I HATE lawn gnomes, and threatened to buy 3 and name them Glock, Beretta, and Taurus....if that sorta counts?
