    Default Amusing/strange pet names

    So was noticing in the 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.

    My dog's super shaggy and this off white color so I named her Carpet.
    We stopped checking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside us.

    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.

    we had a horse called Lady, it gave birth to a horse named Magic, which died a week later. true story. the father's name was Rafter.

    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.

    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.

    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
