What's the funniest name you've heard of for a family pet?

A friend told me today that they've finally named their new Shih tzu puppy who they got a week ago. He's gorgeous and fluffy and they've chosen the name Monkey! I know it's none of my business but I really don't think that name suits him and it sounds a little bit silly... but it's kinda cute at the sane time I guess!

My friend has a tortoise called Voldetort, every time I think of it I laugh.

My other friend has a cat called Karen.

I knew someone who had a pet pig called Bacon...

Cutie, Brush & Alan, all are cats.

Our cat is called Mr Danvers. Just before we got him me and DH were playing a PC game and one of the characters was called Mr Danvers.

DH wants to call our next cat Steve.

This is pretty outing to anyone who went to the same school, but my primary school had a black pot-bellied pig called Sage.

Then one year, Sage disappeared and a few days later, we had "Hog Roast" on Bonfire Night!

A cat called Sponge.

Our last cat, who now lives with DD1 and her BF is called Schroedinger.

Have known a pair of cats called Dough and Nuts.

As a small child I was desperate to call our future rabbit Snowball. I was very disappointed when he arrived and wasn't white ;)

My boyfriend at college had two fish called scuba and diver, one died and I will never forget going to his door and him standing there with a mug in his hand with the little fish tail sticking out thr top and saying tearfully “diver died”. For some reason it tickled me and I got the giggles really, really bad. He wasn’t happy at all by my reaction. 😂

We'd like to get another rescue dog at some point.

DS is a big fan of the Foo Fighters & has put forward 'Dave Growl' as a possibility. I think it might be a winner.

A huge ginger Tom called Ginger Minge.

2 girls on train once with a list of 50 top names for male dogs. Got to Copernicus and said Copper Knickers!

When we were children, my best friend had a guinea pig called Elvis.

A friend has a cat called Deeley.

We had a goldfish called Nice and then Nice Too.

My dentist is called Nice, she isn't a goldfish.

My next door neighbours had a cat called Tiggy, when she died their (sort of daughter) insisted the new cat was Tiggy so we called her Tiggy Two.

Probably our first family dog. I was given naming rights: Called him Special Agent Rylie Fynn - from Buffy. I was 15 at the time and going through a huge Rylie crush, and an even bigger Buffy obsession. Dad actually put that down on the vet records. God knows what they thought. 🤣

My sister had a cat called Dump Truck.

And my aunt used to have a parrot called Dangerous Brian.

A pug called Steve

We recently lost DD’s beloved hamsters, they were Rue Paul and Satan.

Satan bit..

@GellerYeller

I know someone with a hamster called Ham.i.am. It's registered at the vets as Steve though

😂 thats brilliant!

@CityCommuter

Some great names there! I read on MN once that someone had a cat called Fish because he didn't like eating any food with fish in it!

Guess what ours is called?

Friend of a friend has a cat called Princess Monstertruck

In Glasgow slang for dog is dug. My friend had Doug the dug.

A friend when I was little had a cat called Rover and yesterday I saw a french bulldog called Garry

Not sure if it's true or not but I once heard of someone who had a pet chicken and named it Nando ...
