Cool Animal Names

I was travelling to my parents’ house by train one weekend. It was a three hour journey so I wanted a chunky book to read. Digging around my library, I found my copy of the Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank. I hadn’t read it in over a year so I decided this was a good selection.
I’m not a big fan of chick lit but this book was different in that the main character Jane didn’t necessarily want to get married and have babies. Plus it was funny (and this is coming from someone who doesn’t find most humorous books funny). Bank comes up with very cool and apt names for the characters’ pets. There’s Pepper the schnauzer, Cinders the horse and Jezebel the poodle. (Although for some reason, every time I read about Jezebel I keep picturing a white terrier like the one in the My Dog commercials.) Then there’s Atlas the Airedale. That name makes me picture a strong, solid but not aggressive dog like a black Labrador or Staffordshire.
What about you? Have you across any cool animal names in books?
