What is the oddest name for a pet, either your own if you dare disclose it, or someboby elses, any pet, bird, rabbitt, dog, cat etc.

I have 2 dogs, with normal names but wanted to call one Theendoftheworldisnigh. Be an experience seeing what happened when I called him in at 11pm at night.

And, yes I will own up, I have two guinea pigs called Horace and Doris Morris

Over to you..........

How about "Wanna Bee"

We have a dog and a hasten to add I did not pick this name but she is called 'Maisie'

Whats wrong with that you may ask - well she is the ugliest Boxer you have ever seen and 'Maisie' just sounds so pretty!

What she lacks in looks though she makes up in personality! We wouldn't be without her...ahh.

I have a Weirmaraner called Millie who is the most gorgous looking stop stand and stare dog you have every seen...

People come across the street and have to stroke her and when asked her name we say Millie. They then repeat this to her and she gazes into thin air... This is because my our stupid shop keeper feeds her chocolate and sweets and sings Millie-Molly-Moo-oo to her.

She will only answer to that now, so when the public say shes not looking - Millie? i mutter under my breath try Milly Molly Moo they do and her ears go back, her gead tilts and she raises each paw.

how stupid do you think i feel when im walking herand have to shout that?

ps ive also got a bunny called beau! - nice eh?

My brother got a hamster when he was about eight. The night before he'd watched a Rutger Hauer film on TV called "Escape from Sobibor", about a German Prisoner of War camp.

He called his hamster 'Sobibor'. Luckily none of our Jewish neighbours got wind of this.

Barrymore was right... Kids do say the funniest things.

We have had a number of cats over the years including Squeek, who couldn't meow and just squeeked, and a ginger tom called Garfield (garf for short). We also had a kitten who we called Duchess, until we took her to the vet, who told us she was in fact a Duke! Still we have a Duchess now (second time lucky), and an Angel.

I have a dog called Kane, a terrier cross (mostly cairn/ fox terrier) although he answers to "daft poodle", and "fatdog!", as well as the rustle of a crisp or biscuit packet. (he came with me to the dev cat meet on sunday, again, and was tapping for crisps off everyone! lol!

I have a black-and-white cat called Jasper (looks just like felix off the adverts) Jasper is his "sunday" name. he is a " jazz", or "jazzycat"

I had a number of hamsters,

Oscar, (I, II, III, and IV)

Basil I, and Basil II, and a Manuel,

2 female hammies, Polly and Sybil, (yes, can't you tell I like fawlty towers!!??)

then, I acquired 2 russian dwarf male hammies, whom I called Eric and ernie (on account of their short, fat, hairy legs!)

I had a budgie called Tweety.

I had a ginger cat called "Tawny"

Another cat that we adopted, called Sweep. (he was known as "sweepy-peeps" or "eeep" because he was such a timid cat, and al he would do was make these pathetic , terrified little "eeep" noises instead of a proper "meow".

Tawny and Sweep were adopted as adult cats, so we had no say in their names. my previous cats (jazzy included) were all named for jewels... Jasper, Topaz, Emerald.

my next pets will be another dog, which i was going to call Pavlov, and a cat,I was going to have ,called "Shroedinger".

the other day, someone suggested it might be funny to do it the other way round, call the dog Shroedinger, and the cat, Pavlov! I might just do that.

a friend of mine has a dobermann called "Boutros Boutros Doggie"! He's Boutros for short.

In the 1970s whilst serving in Northern Ireland, our section adopted a Jack Russell who used to follow us on our patrols. He stopped at junctions, hiding behind walls until the all clear was given to proceed. (proper little soldier)

We didn't have the heart to leave him behind when the four months was up, so we brought him back to England with us and one of the married blokes kept him at his married quarter as a pet.

His name?

NOOKIE

Boy was my mate's wife chuffed at having to stand on the doorstep every night, trying to get the dog back in, shouting "Nookie, here!! Come on...Nookie!" with 1000 randy squaddies within earshot. :hihi:

A few years ago I had five cats and the three who are sadly no longer with me were called

Uncle Fester
Renfield
and....
Snibston Discovery

The last one being named after a tourist information sign spotted on the way to Wales. I still don't have a clue what it is!

Snibston was a fabulous character despite being a little inbred which meant he was blessed with boss eyes and a face like a shovel.
