Um... a friend of mine named her cats Elphaba and Fiyero.
I told her she was crazy.

Posted: 4/27/05 at 8:53pmI have a Chihuahua named Roxie. She was born on January 14th, and I think that was teh day Roxie killed Fred, right? I also rode a pony named Fred. Then there are my huinea pigs, Liza and Elphie. BUT! Elphie was for Elephant, because she's grey, and then I saw the show, so it took on a dual meaning.

My friend has cats named Leisl and Frederich, after the kids in The Sound of Music.
I used to have joint-ownership of a tadpole that we named Scott, after Scott Porter (currently in Altar Boyz), but sadly he passed away. Uh... I named the turtles my biology teacher has Roger and Carmen after the characters in The Producers (woah, I feel like I've said that before... did we have a thread like this recently?)
I got my friend to name her new hamster Roger, for Roger Bart, and she's getting a pug and plans on naming it Bernadette, or Bernie, for Bernadette Peters.
Err... I think that's it. Some of those were for actors, rather than characters, I know. Whups.

Posted: 4/27/05 at 9:06pmI named my fish after the 7 Von Trapp children, and I convincd my parents (somehow) to name the new kitten Emcee.

I had fish named Japheth and Cain after the characters from Children Of Eden. Granted, Cain and Japheth also show up in the Bibel, but I was thinking of Children Of Eden when I named them.

We've had our cat for over a year and a half now (Since September 2003) and we STILL do not have a name for it. How about...Trekkie?

If you wanna name your cat Trekkie Parks, I say go for it!
I have six fish named Mark, Roger, Mimi, Maureen, Collins, and Angel. (I'm thinking on getting another one to name Joanne) It's crazy I know, but I'm a very crazy girl.
I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

Posted: 4/27/05 at 10:13pmMy cat's name is Cosette. Not because she's my favorite character in a musical or anything... I just thought it was a cute name for a little cat.

My roommate's getting a cat. I told her I'd help her hide it if she named it after something we both liked, and she came up with Mimi Candle.
She's a weird one...*shakes head*

At one point I had a Boston Terrier named Roxie, a lab named Velma and a male cat named Mary Sunshine.
Now I have a Pu-Wawa (Pug and Chihuahua mix) named Sandy. I adopted her to play her namesake when I played Rooster in "Annie" last year. It was meant to be - my poor baby was scheduled to be put to sleep the morning after I saw her. She's a mess. Such a spoiled diva brat...

P.S. - I also have a fish named "Seymour II" who appeared in my dressing room a few years ago when I played Seymour in "Little Shop".
My lip gloss is poppin'...

I had a grey/black striped tabby for 9 years named Eponine. I rescued her from an animal shelter in Sarasota, FLorida that I volunteered with my first year in art school. I was wearing a Les Mis t-shirt at the time...so I figured that would be a good name. Everyone that knew her just called her "Ep". She died in 2001 from advanced feline kidney disease. I've missed her a great deal!

My rabbit (the one in my avatar) is having babies in a few days.. we're naming them all after RENT charecters.
my pets now are Molly, Lucky, Eddie, Patches, Mr. Frodo, Fin, and Fishy, so no Broadway names yet.

LOL!!! You... might wanna see someone about that.
Broadwaybaby, I have a tuxedo cat... although when I got him I was too young to name him anything like that :) He's "Lucky" after one of the 101 dalmations, and he has a "madona mole"

Well, we got 2 of our cats when CATS was broadcast on PBS. So . . . Mr. Mistopheles and Grizabella (and they look just like them). But we got 2 more when Clay and Ruben were the final 2 on Idol, so we have a Clay and Ruben.
We also used to have a Martha Graham dog and a Twyla Tharpe dog.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 10:13amMy Golden Retriever is named Lillian (Hellman), my Miniature Dachsund is named Oscar (Wilde) and I have a cat named Mamet (as in David). I also had a cat for 18 years named for playwrite Rebecca Ranson. I've been awaiting for the right animal for the names Lanford and Wasserstein for years.
