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

[CityCommuter]

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 brother had two cats called Mingy and Mongy after Emperor Ming of Mongo from Flash Gordon (I guess!)

I put out food and water for the hedgehogs. The first one I saw I called Drucilla because, acrding to my carer, Spike is too obvious.

When we had the few weeks of really hot weather a couple of years ago the hedgehogs were desperate for water so I had a number visiting. I wasn't going to check for sex so called them alternate male and female names.

Drucilla
Brian Bolt - he started off as Brian because he looked like that but I added Bolt because he would run away very fast
Princess Twilight Sparkles
Speckled Jim
Meriel

A tall blonde leggy saluki called Taylor Swift

Oh and the same people used to have a quite snappy grey standard poodle called Brian May Bite

My goldfish were Sid Vicious (because he had a black fin like a punk hairdo) and Nancy. They were won at a fair and Sid lived many years, grew too big for a tank and went on a train journey in a large tub to live out his days in my Gran's huge pond!!!

Current cats are Oberon, Ophelia, and Sebastian (stray who moved in!) and the dog is Orla Satu!

I love Dorothy Purrkins! If I ever get a cat I'm stealing that from you.

A cat named Prozac. Reason being it would make the owners smile every time they called her...

I used to work with someone who called their dog Manchester United Football Fan or Muff for short.

Daniel the Spaniel.
Also Trevor the Pomeranian. Makes me laugh every time I see him

At the park one day and a man was shouting 'Robert come to daddy', i assumed he was calling his son until a little dog came running .....still makes me laugh to this day.....Robert lol.

Pair of ferrets called Ruff and Tumble
Another pair called Ping and Pong (ferrets do have an odour)
A Siamese cat called Su Ming, because she was always assuming some food was on offer
Tiny dog called Kaiser

A cat called kitten and a cat called Haggis.

I have a friend who had a gorgeous horse called Dave

DD1 (15) laughed at a dog being called Ben, yesterday. But I said it's quite common for farm dogs to have short names like Ben, Pen, Mac (thinking of One Man and his Dog years ago), then I was trying to come up with other three letter names and said "Lee". We fell about 🤣🤣

Oh and years ago we had a female houserabbit called Mr Pushkin

Went to a local posh pet shop last year and met a couple with their 2 chihuahua
Brad and Sid

Loved it but made me chuckle

My boss had a rat called Elizabeth Hurley, apparently because she was very elegant!

My neighbour had a horse named Steve. That always used to make me smile 😊

I once took an Irish trainee Dr to see an elderly man on a home visit (in England BTW) and you could have cut the atmosphere with a knife when he explained his dog was called Carson because it's Black and Tan.

I did not have the knowledge of Irish history to get why that was offensive but when it was explained I realised it was basically the equivalent of calling your black and white cat minstrel.

Not exactly funny but it was certainly awkward and we did laugh about it later mainly my blissful ignorance of the reason for the strained atmosphere (the dog owner was also very aware it was offensive)

Chicken called Paxo.

My mechanic had an alsatian called jack.
The man who dug the bottom of our garden had an alsatian called digger.
I knew a cat, dog, hamster and snake all called dave. (Unrelated to each other)
Sarah the tarantula.
Cats bert and ernie
Cat called spider
Dog called muppet
Dog called "deeohgee" D-O-G
Dog and duck both called deefer. "D for dog"
My cat was called smokey. But she only answered to "cat"

Someone at school had a cat called Oi, so he could stand in the garden and call Oi! to try and get it to come back at night.
