although its slightly off thread..it makes me laugh how people choose grand names for their pets but actually use bizarre affectionate longer versions...for instance i had a lurcher called "annie"....and we used to call her "annie pannie pooper scooper " :lol: :lol:

and even since yesterday "monty" has become "monty don" :lol: :wacko:

Digit was Digit when he arrived - so seemed unfair to change it............his big posh name is Collooneys Siver Digiloo, so i think Digit was just a little name that sounded similar..........his nickname is Squidge!

and he has a theme tune too............it goes like this

"Big freaky whippet, a-Dijy Whippet!" to the tune of the Bacardi advert where all the yoot in a bar keep changing places with each other........will make no sense at all if you've not seen the ad! :teehee:

Audrey was named after La Hepburn due to her stunning eyes - she has black rims which make her look like she's wearing eye liner

Her nickname is Pie coz she's a sweetie pie :wub:

Well, Guszti comes from a hungarian name, Gusztáv, Auguszt.

When Guszti was very-very small and lived in his breeder, his colour was like chestnut (gesztenye in hungarian). Here in Hungary there is a famous figure, Gesztenye Guszti. This is a man-shaped figure made of chestnut.

And that's why our Guszti got the name, Guszti. (w00t)

Well, Guszti’s breeder wanted to make an “A” litter, so she found a name, August, which’s nickname is Guszti, too.

Cókmók is a nice hungarian word, means: luggage, baggage. But not the official name, it is a "nickname" of baggage. We like the way it sounds, so we didn’t give another nickname to our magyar agár.

Kapor means dill. Well, we are both vegetarians, and I like hungarian vegetable-names.
