Names from Peter Pan for your pet

Ask your vet about your own pet. This page is general information from the sources below.

Peter Pan began as J. M. Barrie's play in 1904 and became the novel Peter and Wendy in 1911. Its names suit pets well: in the book, Nana is the Darling family's Newfoundland dog who works as the children's nurse, Tinker Bell is a fairy named for mending pots and kettles, and a crocodile that swallowed a clock ticks wherever it goes.
