It takes me ages to decide and they always have about six different names before I settle on one. Luckily Angus was named by his breeder and I liked it so didn't have to think of one for him.

My dog is called Alfie after the kids books about Alfie and Annie Rose cos I read them so many times when my kids were little.

I can never think of any names for them, so eventually they end up with daft ones.

Two of the cats are called Ted and Brian.

See what I mean.

I do however feel very guilty about nothing ever getting a name. Its not easy though, even if I thought of names I would forget them.
