QUOTE: Originally posted by SuperChiefFan When I got my puppy, a West Highland White Terrier, my brother jokingly said I should name her Chessie. We had a good laugh and I actually tried it out (though I'd already decided on her name weeks before I was to receive her). Needless to say she seemed decidedly unamused with being referred to with a feline's moniker--and 'Abby', as planned, became her name. I think if she could speak English for five minutes she'd probably tell me that I was a 'donkey's butt' for ever considering naming her after a cat![(-D]
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
QUOTE: Originally posted by Willy2 Does anyone have pets named after railroads or famous railroad legends? My cat's name is Chessie. Named after the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. I think that that one may show up a few more times.
QUOTE: Originally posted by talbanese My cat sleeps on my railroad. I call him "Get Off"!

She wouldn't answer to that, but did to Mookie - so now whose the donkey's butt? [:X] Jen PS - Good choice for a name, however!
Have fun with your trains

QUOTE: Originally posted by techguy57 Thinking about getting another dog soon, so I've been considering names. Chessie has come up, but I prefer SOO. If we get a boy dog I was thinking Innis (as in NS). Wisconsin Central doesn't roll of the tongue, and UP might get confusing when trying to housebreak the poor thing. Who knows maybe the girlfriend will decide on Spot.[^] She is the boss. Mike

QUOTE: Originally posted by Willy2 Wow! There's more Chessie's out there than I thought there would be. I agree with everyone. Naming a dog "Chessie" just wouldn't work! Someday I hope to have enough cats to name one after every class one railroad. By then there may only be one big class one with all of the mergers going on. If that's the case my cat would have to be named: Unionpacificbnsfnorfolksoutherncsxkansascitysouthern. That is one long name!!
