How did your animal friends get their name?

My golden retriever is named Siena. Absolutely everyone immediately thinks it’s because of her color, which is very red. I then have to explain that actually she was bright white as a puppy and she was named after Siena, Italy hah. It just ended up working out and not being entirely random.

On the other hand, my Aussie is named Bessie because she is splotched like a cow…
