I have two black labs.........both are named for a variety of reasons, including theater related.

BEAU ---- partially in honor of Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside from MAME

and

MABEL to whom I often sing "Look What Happened to Mabel" from MACK AND MABEL.

By the way, they are very pleased that you started this thread and give you two paws way up!

Not a character, but I forced one of my friends to name her hamster Roger.
Actually, the same friend is now getting a pug and naming it Bernie.
...I'm sure Roger Bart and Bernadette Peters are honored. Updated On: 2/5/05 at 02:05 PM

When I was younger, I had about 24 cats (most were strays, but I called them mine, because I fed them, and some would have their babies in my house.) The majority of them I named from shows. There was Evita, Cosette, Eponine, Phantom (cuz of the white and black mix on his face), and the two ugly cats were Thenardier and Hannigan.

Oh yeah, I just remembered this: I named the two turtles that my Biology teacher has Roger and Carmen. They have very... active... lives.

Anyway, I still need a name for my cell phone...

When I graduate college and get my own place, the first thing I am going to do is get a puppy. And her name is going to be Liza.

I had this one cat and I named it Grizabella, but no one else could remember the name or say it right when I told them, later I change it's name to Gizmo, after that I found out it was a male all along(I know who to tell, but with this long haired cat, you could tell) anyways, he died after that


However, If I ever get a Weenie Dog, I'm going to name it Sweeney Todd...probably just calling it one or the other for short....anyways, I think that's a cute name for a little weenie dog.

BTW, I'm a standby now!!!!!!!!!! Updated On: 2/5/05 at 02:52 PM

I got a cat when I was working for an actress in a show called THE CEMETERY CLUB, which was about three widows. I named the cat Murray Moskowitz, after the dead husband of my actress's character.

My puppy's registered name is Brier's Evening Primrose. A little bit of Sondheim there. I gave her the name because I liked the sound of it. The Sondheim connection is secondary, but a nice association nonetheless.

I named one of my cats Cosette... I thought it was such a cute name for a cat...

I wanted to name one of the other ones Finch (from H2$) because I thought it was adorable... but nobody agreed with me.

When I was little, I had a cat named Pepper (from ANNIE). And I briefly had a dog named Kimbrough, after Charles K. . . Now I have cats named Opie and Ella, after Nancy Opel and Ella Fitzgerald.
