I have a pug named Pippin. She is called Pippin because the guy I got her from sounded *exactly* like Pippin from the LOTR movies. "Hey you," and "hey buddy" and "hey girl" just wasn't working after about 2 weeks while I tried to think up a different name, so I just said to hell with it and started calling her Pippin.
Our cat who constantly meows for food used to weigh about 27 lbs and did absolutely nothing. Now he gets into everything.
