Two syllable, repetitive vowel pet names
They seem to surround us in our quiet Tacoma neighborhood. They ring like circus clown names and bounce off the tongue with a gleeful ease. I recently found a distinct pattern with some of neighborhood pet names and pretty much think they're somehow going to band together a take over the planet. Four words: Bobo, Coco, Mojo, Lulu. A dog a few houses down is Mojo, right next door is Bobo, on the other side is kitty Coco, and we've got Lulu. Sends chills, doesn't it?
Makes me think either he's not involved in the conspiracy or that our other kitty Colby needs to be renamed Dodo. Which would actually fit the big goof pretty well. Anyway, maybe, for a little originality, we should start branding our pets with monikers like those of race horses or boats. Colby could be Storm Cloud or Rough Seas and Lulu could be Casual Flirtation or Lady Wags-a-Lot. Nah.

We go for massive nomenclature overload with our cats....
Pico becomes: Peekpeek, Pica, Picatron, Greymalkin, Princess Fussbomb. Maddy is also Madeline, Maddycat, Madeline Notbright, Madam Perestroika, and Madams. Sasha can also be called Sashimi, Pumpkin, Pumpkin-kitty, Princess, Fluffbomb. Boingo also goes by Bingdog or Dog. All of them may be referred to as Loaf-tech if they are sitting in the right format. :)
And I feel like I'm missing some names somewhere! ;)
(I blame/credit C for the naming madness.)

Yeah, we're in the same boat with our cats. They each have a grab bag full of names. Some of which came from thin air and don't relate at all to their actual names.
