I remember reading years ago that said they came up with the name because
they had friends who worked in a pet shop.

This may sound a bit outlandish, but when I was living in the UK, I thought
I remembered hearing the name came from an old myth that pet shops were
places for men to meet the young workers at the pet shop-I might be really
off, but I am sure I have heard that a few times...

It is actually because they used to have friends that worked in a pet
shop....
Rumours did go around that it had something to do with what gay men did with
hamsters.... But this is some thing that Neil and Chris strongly denied..
