My brother got two kittens. I tried to convince him to name them Brutal and Deluxe.He did not.

Though actually now I think about it, Brutal Deluxe and Magic Pockets would have been better.But apparantly cats don't recognise names with more than two syllables or some rot.

They respond better to names ending in 'ee' sounds, apparently.

my mum's friend runs a stable yardfor several years they had an ancient and crotchetty black horse that the (now deceased) owner had named "nigger".
It was impossible to catch but would come when called, which caused much hilarity.

My mum's grandma's dog was called niggeras it was the same colour as nigger brown boot polish. The unfortunate thing is my nan did the female-member-of-my-family thing of calling people by other names (my mum calls me David sometimes, which is my dad, and Alice sometimes, which is her cat) so my mum spent a good part of her life being called a nigger by my great grandma.
