I had a marten named Tayra (a mustelid, scientific: Eira barbara) A pair of cheetahs named Nyx and Juba (scientific: Acinonyx jubatus). A female wolf named Lupa (ok, that's not that original). And so on... most people don't realise you called your dog 'Dog'. Besides some names really sound great.

I got a siamese cat which is called as my character's cat familiar (yes, firt was the character), Niké (read nih-'keh), as the greek goddess of victory... I also had a female dog called Pearl (the paradox was that she was a black labrador retriever).
