What are some not so common name pairings you have used or heard of for two pets, ones that were really clever, humorous or stood out to you? (If the reference isnt totally obvious pls share what it is).
When I was younger we had a [name_m]Jake[/name_m] and [name_m]Elwood[/name_m] (Blues Brothers). I once met two St Bernards named [name_u]Flip[/name_u] and Flop.
Other good ones [name_u]Ive[/name_u] heard of are:
[name_m]Pancho[/name_m] & Lefty (country song)
Bubbles n Squeak (nod to champagne)
Bangers n Mash (like the english dish)
[name_m]Barley[/name_m] & Hops (beer grains)
Bogey n [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] (golf terms)

I’ve also known pets with number names. Sixer and [name_m]Five[/name_m] were two of my grandparents’ St. Bernards when I was small. Now, they have colorful cats! Their names are [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], (both girls) named by myself and my sister.
