What strange pet names have you heard or used yourself?

When I was a little girl, we had a cat called Adolf who had a litter of only one kitten which my mum kept and called Trotski :rolleyes:

Thankfully my dad got his way and the dog was called Harry as opposed to mum's first choice: Mussolini.

What about your experiences?

Do my naming habits count as weird?

Recent critters have included:
Aristotle
Cerberus
Damocles
Zeus

Oh DaFoot, I always thought your names were fantastic! :lol:

hmm,

our first dog was called spook, aparently my sister named him after a cat that was in a book she was reading about a witch.

the cat my mum rescued i named filo because i was eating filo pastry at the time.

when i was little i had many fish called thunderbea which was ment to be called thunder cats after the cartoon but i was really young & didnt understand that i got the name wrong.

i now have a cat called pisces cus thats his star sign :) & a turtle called tattoo cus his skin looks painted on haha

My cats' kittens were called Gonzo and Miss Piggy. Miss Piggy used to beat up Gonzo, hence the names

We get some brilliant names coming through here for boarding etc
We've had the Bee Gees (ferrets)
Knight Rider and Wonder Woman (rabbits)
Elvis and Ronan (Guinea Pigs who sing non stop)
Diego (an English Mastiff who likes to play football)
Mr T ( a french Lop with a dew lap that looks like all the chains he used to wear)

to name but a few

my kids called their hamster...doggy!!!

my cat is called Trout

Mookie Moonpie ... she was going to be called Raa Raaa Kitty***k but we decided against it.

One of my cats is Tosca Poo -Poo

One of my dogs is called Kipper (a black lab cross so I suppose looks nothing like the Kipper from the books) The number of people that make comments like "is that because he smells?". :rolleyes: Poor dog must have a real complex by now!

When I was a toddler I gave our black cat the very original name of black cat!
My little sister called one of her g-pigs Micheal Jones!! No idea where that came from but his name came up as a winner on Noels House Party so we wrote in to say how thrilled our g-pig was to have won a competition!!! :hihi:

When I need to be polite I sometimes call her peepes or peepers, she doesn't seem to mind :rolleyes:

Hmmm let's think:

I had a dog called K'Ehleyr (pronounced Kay-lair) named after a Klingon character from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Her short name was pronounced "Kays".

I had a cat called Djelibeybi. He was named after the country of Djelibeybi (pronounced Jellybaby) from a book called Pyramids by Terry Pratchett (all hail!). His name was frequently shortened to Djeli, Djels, or Djela-baba.

My brother had a beautiful black moggy called Satan, and his mates used to come round just to see him stood at the backdoor calling for her late at night! She was adorable, but she was a very efficient hunter / killer!

I also had two calico shubunkin fish called Spike and Angel (see Buffy the Vampire Slayer for details!).

Ali G and Mijulie (lizards)
Timber (cat, funny when shouting for it)
Hugh Heffner (current G pig huh ask peaches why he is named that)
I also had a hamster called Andre Aggasi after my fave tennis player.

My cat's called Barclay, but I've always like the name Chairman Meow for a cat

I wanted a cat, called Pavlov, and a dog called Schroedinger, however when Trix came along, she really didn't look like a "Schroedinger".

We have Blade the GSD, named after the Blades. (Also gets called Bladey pooh, Mr Woofingtons, BP, Mr Pooh, Mr Woofbert and various other things - don't ask me, it's MrSpeedDemon, he is :loopy:) Fortunately he answers to pretty much anything :hihi: Tilly the springer was already named that when we got her. She gets called Tilly Pooh! Donut cat was originally named Daisy, then Daisy Donut, as she is just that - a proper donut! She's now just Donut. Bob & Kevin, Donut's sons - I dunno, ask the kids, they named them lol. Princess Delilah the maine coon - just a posh name for a posh cat lol. Pikelet the parrot - i have no idea why he became Pikelet as we originally called him Max! But he's been Pikelet or Pikey for ages now. Or... Pikelety Pooh - see the pattern forming here? :rolleyes: The rabbits were named after film / TV characters -
Harrison (Ford)
Olivia (newton-john)
Patrick (Stewart)
Jack (Duckworth)

My cat is named: Pudgy Pie and Custard - 'Pudgy' or 'Pudge' for short!

When he was a little kitten (hes 14 now!) he had such a podgy pudge belly and ate so much hehe

Pudge's brother was named 'Mushy Pea' but we called him 'Mush' (he sadly passed away March this year).

The name 'Mushy Pea' was due to a TV advert: In the advert the pea was told a tale something like this 'remember the good old days when you were in your pod with your brothers on the field with no worries' and the pea was so sad it started to cry and went all MUSHY hehe! Well that was sooo like my Mushy because he was always, always crying for attention :)

my dogs called ti but iv heard so many strange names

Dogo is what my auntie calls her dog
She always choses african names so she has had many funny named animals.

I have two cats and their names are Vodka and Whiskey.
