Bad pet names

Post Reply New Topic

We have two cats, Willie and Jasmine and our fish all have pirate names

Jack, Sparrow, Blackbeard, William, Bootstrap

(Elizabeth, Davy and Jones are our next choices should we lose any)

My dog's full name was Skipper ASF-5 Concord after my dad's first ship in the Navy.

My cats were named Missy, Cali, Buster, Tucker, and Booger. Tucker and Booger are the only ones still alive.

My current fish are named: Black Mollys (Molly and Jack with the names reversed with their genders 'cause that is what the kids wanted) and Clown Loach is Nemo. Older fish names used were Darth Vader, Boba, Yoda, Luke, Han, Chewie, and Ben.

All of our indoor pets have names beginning with "P." (Partner, Puffy, Peter, Paul and Prince)

Our ferals all have names ending in -y or -er (Itty, Zwenner, Drenner, Faber and Uncker)

Puffy was named because she was pregnant with Peter, Paul and Prince when we adopted her.

The ferals' names are derived from part of an old German counting rhyme.

My goldfish was called CLEO. He lived for about five years

I have a Pitbull / Great Dane mix named Bearbob. My wife brought him home and told me his name was Bear. I thought he looked more like a Bob. We also had a Black European Burmese cat named Nuisance.

I once read about someone who named their cat "Catalone", because when she was a kitten the owners' young son couldn't seem to learn kittens usually don't like to be held and handled 24 hours a day, so she was constantly telling him to "Leave the cat alone". The kitten eventually started responding to the phrase as if it has her name, so the owner shortened it to Catalone, and that became the cat's name. Cute story, but most people thought it was because the cat came from Catalonia, so now she had to explain to them all the time why it isn't.

When I was really young my parents got a dog named Bear. More like Teddy Bear, because even as an adult he wasn't very big and really not ferocious. I'm not sure what kind of a dog he was. a mixed breed, he looked something like a small border collie maybe, black with a white chest and paws.

There used to be a sheep dog near where I lived called Jeff. He had eyes that were very much like a human being's, so we used to call him Human Eyes Jeff.

When I was younger I had a grey tabby cat I named Hobbes, which is fine except she was a girl. I'm just glad I didn't name her Calvin.

I remember on the Simpsons Smithers showed a picture of his dog Hercules to Mr. Burns. He explained to Burns that the name was kind of a joke because it's a Yorkshire Terrier.

Also Santa's Little Helper is a pretty strange name for a dog, but people who have seen the first Simpsons' episode, which was a Christmas special, will understand.

Aunt Selma has a pet iguana named Jub-Jub. I'm familiar with the Jabberwocky poem so it might be a better name for a bird than a lizard.

one of my neighbors has a cat named "Put"

When my in laws moved down here into the house they owned and had been renting out to people, they inherited a little black dog. This dog had been owned and left there by this very racist redneck guy who had been renting the house. You can guess what his name was. It was n***a with the r on it, not the one that everybody uses the way we used "dude" in the 80s. My FIL couldn't stand calling the dog that so he turned it backwards and called him Reagan. It's sort of backwards, and he would come to Reagan sometimes but there were a couple times at first that the dog went after a mailman or a meter reader or something and my FIL couldn't get him with Reagan so he had to yell the other name at him lol. He was greatly embarrassed and explained and nobody was upset with him.

Then they got a male collie and named him Lady for some reason.

I like the name Quadrapet for a cat. It's a quadraped because it has four feet and a pet. Quadrapet. I want somebody to name a cat this, but nobody will.

My dog's name is Ricky. That's not a name I would choose for a dog since there are too many people that go by that. He had that name when I got him from the Humane Society and that's what he responded to. I could have changed it but settling into a new home I thought was enough for him so I put it off for a while. After only a week or two everyone knew him as Ricky so it was too late to change.

I'm also a Humane society volunteer and when naming unnamed dogs they sometimes use outdated human names.
Examples: An American Bulldog named Preston, a Basset Hound named Olive, a Lab/German Shepherd mix named Blanche, a Catahoula named Clyde to name just a few.

My neighbors Pitbull is named "Sh*thead"

My neighbor is a real class act, can't ya tell?
