Musical Pet Names

I was curious to see if I am the only person on earth crazy enough to name my pet after a musician or any other musical term. I'll start.

I have a Sheltie named Jake. You guessed it, he's named after Mr. Arnold Jacobs

Don't have one now, but did have an irish setter named Elwood -- legendary musician and all-around good guy (on a mission from God).
Dumbest dog I've ever owned.

Not 'zactly a musician, but my cat's name is Magical Mr. Mistophofleas. I have a little black cat named 'Kitty'.... her full name is Eartha Kitty... after the legendary singer who played cat-woman in the original Bat-Man.

I have a cat named Charlie. I am prepared to claim that I named him after Charlie Parker.

One of the guys in an quintet I used to be in had a cocker spaniel named Bix, as in Beiderbecke (sp?). As for me, my cat in named Mo Vaughn, after the former Red Sox slugger (kind of tells you how old the cat is, too).

... and if he married a cat named Vanessa Williams, and they had a kitten, Rafe, he'd be Rafe Vaughn-Williams!

If I had a talking pet sheep, she'd say, "That's baaaaaaaaaad!".

"Arf, she said..." But where is the extra-special doily draped across the piano?

I see no evidence that this dog has undergone further modification....
