Yep, you've mentioned Alpha and Beta.
We've always had people names for our pets. Not as cool as yours. Davy, Danny, Ida (who got the nickname "Boo", for no apparent reason), Olav (who was mostly called Oleo...), etc. The last cat at the house is an enormously fat grey cat with white feet. His name's Victor.
Right now *I* have Tamino (Tam for short), named for the prince in Mozart's Magic Flute, Halvah (it's a kinda candy), and Cleo, short for Cleopatra - I did NOT name her. Plus dogs Fiona (NOT named for the princess in Shrek...) and Fritzi (who I didn't name).

Looks like you are missing a few on your profile.
Since when did you forget your pocket personal compression device? No ninja worthy of the name would forget it!
Vey interesting!
My BC is blind in one eye. It is completely clouded. She is vey old, has arthritis, a clubbed foot, etc. It's a wonder she can still climb up the couch (she can't jump anymore higher than a couple of feet and thank goodness has decided ~not~ to climb the trees).
Living in Ireland, huh? That's one place in Europe I would love to see. Someday, we'll take a trip to the British Isles!
Yeah...haven't taken pictures in awhile.
Several of 'em weren't exactly planned. The only ones I actually sought out and selected were Tam and Fiona. Mom showed up with Halvah one day, Cleo I was asked if I'd take when someone couldn't keep her any longer (she's another Siamese mix and they knew I liked Siamese), and Fritzi was my mother's. She passed away in 2002 and Dad wasn't up to caring for him. I should find a new home for him really since he really would do better with someone home all day, but I haven't brought myself to do it yet. He's Fiona's brother.
I have too many pets. But...I guess that's better than the alternative, which I lived with for a long time.
Awww! What a cutie!
The dog's pretty cute, too. ;-)
Well I can go with superdeformed chibi-ninja mode but I find it is hard to sit still for long periods of time like that.
He thought it was funny, but figured much the same thing might have happened to him if he went to a foreign country and was confronted by something with which he wasn't familiar.
Ninja sneak freep (I always thought ninja were way less cool than they're made out to be. I like samurai better)...
Hullo, not much going on here at the moment - cross my fingers that it stays that way. No class until 12:30. I hope it doesn't start raining because I'll get very wet in my ten minute walk across campus.
Talon - if you tell sibs about this great place, they'll show up. That's why I've never given my family the name of this site!
That's pretty good! Probably the sentiments of many in the Kerry camp during the last week, too!
That is amusing!
How's he like grad school? For me, I think the learning curve's going to be steep... I have to do some serious work this weekened or I'll get behind before I've even hardly started.
SDF-chibi! I'd like to see you do that...
I call my little brothers "chibi" sometimes. Or "baka". Though they've figured out what that one means from context. Hafta work out some new insults before I go home for Christmas.
My sister-in-law had cats named Alpha and Beta. When Alpha died, she got another cat and named him Dudley!
I am suddenly most tempted to draw that, but I think the interactions of the kawaii factor and the supercool factor would cause an international incident after Dublin and a few hundred miles of countryside were wiped off the map.
His first day of classes was yesterday and I fully expected him to call last night, but he didn't. I know he'll call sometime this weekend.
