Amusing/strange pet names

[speedog]

So was noticing in the An eagle, a cat, and a fox just chillin' (http://forums.beyond.ca/st/351672/an-eagle-a-cat-and-a-fox-just-chillin/) thread, some mention of oddball pet names, namely Suitcase, Spaghetti and Ruffles. Ruffles I can understand, but the other two are rather odd - for the most part, people do give cutesy names to their pets, see it every day in our shop as people bring their dogs and cats in for baths/grooming.

Looking through our records, I would say that probably 95% of the pet owners that shop in our store have contrived/cutesy names for their pets - some of the best include Rhubarb and Cujo (a small Springer Spaniel who is so nice). Us, we have two male cats with relatively normal human names (Larry and Daryl) and a guinea pig named Spud, Spud has a contrived name because he looks like a huge baked potato. Even the varying hare who regularly visits our backyard has a name - Jim.

In closing, what would be the most amusing/strange name someone's heard of for a pet - Suitcase would rate right up there for me.

We had a cat and we joked around calling it Chicken. We eventually kept calling it chicken so we ended up keeping the name.. hahaha!

I had a chihuahua before and named it Tequila and my current dog right now is named Udon(japanese noodle).

I always call my daughters chihuahua "Lefty" I figure if you kicked him hard enough he'd make a great left slipper.

My cats name is Quito, which is short for mosquito. He had & has the weirdest meow ever. Kind of sounds like a mosquito buzzing in your ear.

I really like suitcase haha, it caught me off guard.

I named my dog Bishop after the chess piece. It's worked really well.

I hate common names like Bear, Bud, Oreo etc. I love distinct names.

My favorite so far is Radar (big ears papilion)

My last cat was originally named Starscream. Got him from the SPCA when he was a kitten and promptly changed it.

Worked with someone that had a three legged dog named Tripod.

[ddduke]

My dog's super shaggy and this off white color so I named her Carpet.

[DeeK]

My cat's name is donut, I found her in a construction donut (the ones they put over the sewer grates) when she was 2 weeks old, in -22c.

My fiancee had a cat she named Queen of the Desert when she was a kid.

One of my friends' neighbours had a dog named Goddamnit. As in, "Get over here, Goddamnit!" which was pretty funny to watch haha.

[95EG6P]

[Dumbass17]

we has a great pairaknees (no idea how to spell it haha) named Sheba

dog named Boone
dog named Tara
dog named Rajah (like the tiger from Aladdin) actually a cool name

my friend growing up had a dog named Bear, it suited it though cause the dog was huge.

i cant stand when people name animals like people. my friend had a dog called 'David' that's so stupid.

[n1zm0]

gfs cat is named Chikko (chico is the correct spelling i believe), from the dog in Next Friday

her sister's cat is named Tango but somehow i've always known it as 'Roastie' lol don't remember why.

[CD007]

I had a cat named 6 Pack. The first day I got him, he drank some beer. Meanest cat ever, he attacked everyone's feet, you needed to wear shoes indoors.

[turbotrip]

We had 2 birds: puff daddy and biggie smalls
Biggie escaped and we replaced him with junior mafia
Junior mafia eventually died, but puffy is still goin strong

[baygirl]

A friend of mine had a hamster he named Cat Food...

Another friend of mine has a cat she nicknamed Serial, because of the cats habit of killing any animal it can catch, including a baby rabbit :(

[Kirbs17]

We have a 6 lb chihuahua named Dozer. Works well!

[Cos]

[95teetee]

my niece named one of my brother's Rottweilers-not often you see a 160 lb dog named Swee'Pea.
-the other one made more sense- Brutus (I called him Brutal, like Brutus Howell in The Green Mile)

[project240]

Years ago we got a kitten and I named him Rhyno... he now weighs about 23lbs. I knew he'd eventually grow into it.

[RatherBePerfin]

We used to have strays living under the garage next door that would come in to our house from time to time. My sister (who was fairly young back then) called the female headybones.....no idea why. She called the male shakeybones, which made a bit more sense because he was scared of everything. My brother had a dumbass of a cat follow him home from work 3 nights in a row, from the 3rd night on he never left so we took him in, he ended up naming it Paucha. My 3 year old neice just named her cat Starlight.

[Dumbass17]

My friend names his cat ROFFLE as in Rofl

[sputnik]

I have a nerdy friend who named his cats "five" and "six".

[Deville]

Have a cat named Bella, flipping through the TV channels one day and seen some dancing ballerinas. I then combined Bella and Weiner to give my cat the new and improved name, Bella Weina Cat.

Her full name is now Bella J Weina Cat.

Girlfriend has a cat named Bandit, not sure why but one day I called him Mr. Yuke, shortly after I added a vich to that and he is now know as Mr. Yuklevich

Usually, at least in my experience the pets names start out pretty normal, it's the nick names that get a little strange.

My Friend named his dog Viagra. Girls love it when he calls his dog.

[Squishy]

My first two dogs have fairly common names; Oreo and bailey, but my third dog's name is lexi and I call her monkey because when she was little all she wanted to do was climb up on your shoulder and sit there or climb up the couch and sleep on the top of it by your head, or on your shoulder against the couch. She still hangs over your shoulder on her own from time to time.

[whiskas]

My cats name is Battle Cat.

[blibbertibs]

I had a cat named Rampage.

[DUBBED]

I've always wanted a dog named Gary, always thought it would be hilarious to see someone in a park yelling at their dog... "GARY GET THE FUCK OVER HERE!!"

[SGForever]

Cat named Pistachio. We call her stash for short :)

[megavolt]

My not so bright dog is named Hank, for some reason it makes people laugh. Everyone calls his name real slow and drawn out like they are half retarded :banghead: but he loves them anyway.

[leftwing]

I always love when I see/hear dogs at the dog park with human names, most notably, recently we saw two dogs (same owner) named Allan and Doug. ...My dog's name is Tuck

I also have a dog named Hank, he is pretty smart but as soon as you take him anywhere he turns into the devil.

I had bunnies named Rex, Bodger, Alix and Ming Po (which I later changed to Hop Tsing).

[thinmyster]

Our chihuahua's name is Kevin. Everyone seems to like it

I also like charles or steve. Human names are the best!

A buddy of mine had a dog named Askum.

Any time somebody asked him his dogs name, he would reply "Askum", and sure enough, they would ask the dog his name.

[Skrilla]
