Any of your pets named after a Celebrity? I have a dog and a Cat the cat is named Eddie after Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of my favourite band Pearl Jam, the dog is just Pips though after no one
http://www.thejournal.ie/animals-cat...34595-Oct2014/ NEW RESEARCH INTO what we name our pets has brought bad news for traditionalists everywhere. It seems the Gandalfs, the Hectors and the Bonos have taken their place alongside the Rovers and the Fidos of this world. New research has looked at data from 70,000 pets and found a trend of people giving their animals celebrity names. In the list of 200, many traditional names still featured – although some former stalwarts were less popular than might have previously been thought. The names ‘Rover’ for dogs and the name ‘Whiskers’ for cats were listed between numbers 150 and 200 on the list of popular names. Also examined in the study was the divide between the northside and southside of Dublin when it came to naming animals. North of the river the names Sam, Jack and Ben came out as most popular, while on the other side of the Liffey: Daisy, Roxy and Buddy were favoured.

I've got a Guinea pig named Harley after the comic book character but no pets named after celebrities.
I did have a Rabbit named Blondie when I was younger, probably not named after the band though. |

I have a dog and she's called Cher she's a Yorkshire terrier I got her when I was sixteen so she's six now but she lives with me and not my parents anymore and I'm not really fond of her name anymore if I'm honest it makes me sound like an airhead (Not after Cher the singer after Cher Horowitz from Clueless because it used to be my favourite film and I still love it now guiltily ) my friend has a cat called Robbie after Robbie Williams also

My budgies were called Jay and Silent Bob but one died not long ago so we only have Silent Bob left.
My dog was named Zara, not after anyone / any celebs though. |

As kids we named our goldfish Bill and Ben after the flowerpot men, if that counts. Don't think we've named any other pets after celebrities though.
