Whatever you do, don't name your pet...

Hey Elic! I had honestly never thought about that name this way! But, the again I would never have thought about naming my cats that name anyway! I always have my "cats to be's" names picked out before I even see them! I did that with all 5 cats I've ever had! I just picked a name, got the cat and hoped they lived up to their names and so far, so good!lol

oh my gosh yes it was a sad time too. I was pregnant 11 months after having my first child. the little boy come to my back door crying, lady the boys threw your puppy into the irrigation ditch to see if he could swim, come help me,hes gonna drown. the next door neighbor came with me and he managed to get my puppy out of the canal, Lucky, out of the swiftly moving water. I cried while I tried to revive him but he was gone, my purebred dachshund puppy who was going to be a show dog was drowned by some teenaged goons who thought the whole thing was funny. oh myG.fifty years ago, and still hurts. w hy they came into my yard,picked up my puppry who loved everyone then threw him into swiftly moving water. not funny tragic.the teen aged goons parents paid me for the cost of my puppy but that was not the point they killed my puppy, the adorable sweet puppy who loved everyone and willingly played with them til they just tossed him in the water. oh my g. that did hurt.So yes Lucky is not a good name for a pet never ever name a pet that. I still remember that day.my husband was furious and made them repay us for our dog but that did not help how I felt. I wanted those boys punished as they tried to kill my dog and they succeeded too.

Many years ago when I was with the carnival there was a man nicknamed LUCKY. He had one hand with only 3 fingers left. One missing eye, and a multitude of scars from serious injuries. Too funny I felt. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I have had alot of dogs over my lifetime but never had one named lucky, thank heavens. Thanks for the info.

oh. this one's interesting! we have 8 dogs! and luckily no one's named lucky! HAHAHHA!! :))

sounds like good advice. I have never heard of this before. I do not think I know of anyones pet named lucky except in the movies.

I have heard lots of jokes about people nicknamed Lucky, and since they go along the same lines as your pet story, I would never consider having a "lucky" pet. I have always had a strange sense of names anyway, and I have had cats named "Mr. Clean" and Winston, and Tapioca, and I guess Shamrock was the closest I came to naming a cat lucky. I raised Shamrock on a bottle. He did well until he got run over, of course. Guess I won't name a cat Shamrock again ever, either.

nope that name never intered my mind at all seems common and I name mine dogs with unusal names I think!

I find that animals are usually RE-named Lucky after surviving a list of disasters. Or a baby animals is called that after a less than happy start to their little lives.

there was a 3 legged cat 1 street over from me named lucky. it had gotten hit by a car as well. happy is a bad name too.my folks had a dog named happy..that started biting people. i hope he wasn't "happy" doing that..

Actually, I've never had an animal named lucky. Cinnamon, Baby, Shmeb, Spot, Rover, Snoopy, etc., but not Lucky.

No, I never knew a Lucky. But I see the point. It seems that would bring on the BAD luck. We have had a Kayla, a Koot, a Sophie. We even had a Pickles. It seems we have been very safe! lol

I'm thinking that unlucky wouldn't be such a hot name either!

Interesting! I've never known any animals named Lucky. And that may be because they never survived long enough for me to know them. LOL! But how about "Fortunate?" Or "Auspicious", or "Fortuitous?" Any thing unlucky about those names? LOL! :-)

REALLY!! why? he he i have not named any of my pets lucky and well, i think it is too common for a pet name. i had pets named boxer, molly, peggy, sarsi, mindi and mucho.... he he but we never named any of our pets lucky. :D

Hi ElcBxn, I have never known or named a pet Lucky probably for the reasons stated. I like more unusual names for my pets anyway. Somne would say this pet was lucky as it survived but to me if it had not been named lucky perhaps these events wouldn't have occurred at all. Huggles. Ellie :D

We have never named any of our pets Lucky. However, we do have a neighbor of a certain nationality that always names his dogs Lucky. They are always chihuahuas and he has about three at a time. Very strange to hear all three called the same name all the time.

Guilty as charged! I found a turtle dove years ago; it had fallen out of its nest and I fed it with an eye dropper every few hours and watched as it became stronger and stronger. When we found it there were no feathers and before too long it was looking more like the beautiful bird it was meant to be. I called the wild life department to find out when I should release the turtle dove and they informed me that I was better off keeping it as a pet because there is no way it would know how to fend for itself. So the bird became part of the family and we named it…Lucky! Poor old Lucky only lived a year before passing away. I thought it was because we may not have been feeding it the right things but perhaps it was just its unfortunate name!

The only animal I know of that is named Lucky is a friend's dog. He has a lot of health problems. I can't remember what they are exactly, but I know he has to have special food. He was very sick for awhile and they almost lost him. I guess he was lucky to have survived, but it doesn't seem very lucky to be sick in the first place.

Our dog's name is actually "Lucky" I named him lucky because the night before we bought him I was watching 101 Dalmatian and one of the puppy's name was Lucky. I don't see anything wrong of naming your dog lucky. My dog never had a bad luck in fact Lucky is still alive until now. We have him for 8 years and he never had bad luck or got sick. Lucky is also my first dog he is really active and happy. Maybe one of the reason he never had an accident is because he usually stays at home. We walk him around the subdivision but we never bought him our of town.
