I have two dogs named Sasha ans Tink/Tinks/Tinky/Tinky Tinks/Winks/Tinker. Basically, she was called Tinkerbell when my dad got her but he changed it to Tinker and it's just progressed down to Tink.
We called Temara that because that's what they named her at the animal shelter when we first got her and we thought it suited her. Sid's name at the animal shelter was 'Danger Man', we changed it to Sid after the childrens book 'Sid the Speedy Kitten'.
Cats: Chuck (he was renamed by my father; original name was Shadow, which was better suiting for him), Sassy and Oliver Dogs [shih-tzus]: Lucky and Bailey (Bailey was already named when we got him) Eclectus Parrot: Maxie Cockateils: Sunny and Tweetie
