strange names for pets

Post Reply New Topic

We have had some odd pet names previously, but we're more careful with dog naming now.

*Dogs can seem to adopt their names as characteristics.
Pilot...Great name for a dog... Always out front
Dozer...Bad name for a dog

Cat - Volkswagen
Cat - MOSFET
Goldfish - Fluffy and Uranus
Ostrich - Freya Bentos (She had a crooked toe)
Alpaca - Demento (blue eyed whites are deaf and tend to look psychotic)
Dog - Fury*
Donkey - Dick tater (but we always referred to him as Donkey boy)
Roosters - Nuggets , Big Kiev, Soup, Duster, Poupon (was grey)
Hens - el chookacabra, count chookula, frankenchook, swampchook.... The theme continues
Peacocks - Captain, Fess (because he was Fess sale)
Peahen - Pixie. (When she flew she laughed like Pixie Wheatley)
Cats - Tripod (3 legged), Spook (sneezed his cancerous nose off)

I'll add more as I remember them

For cats, I try to give them names they could pronounce (if they wanted to try) -- Amir, Maya, Naia, and so forth.

Dogs

Failen and Bonita

dog, kwiebus(belgian dutch) aka quibus

My grandparents used to have a piebald tomcat whose name was Łapimyszek which I could translate roughly as Catchmice because when he was just a kitten, he was quite a mousecatcher It was me who named him like that. It was later, when he grew up, when he got fat and lazy.

They had also dogs whose names were Żaba, Murzyn and Gapa - translated as Frog, Negro and Blunderbuss - but those dog names in their Polish versions are very common in Poland
