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!

A pair of turtles each called 'Turtle' and an axoltyl called 'Aristotle'.

A hamster called Butch, he was very sweet.
I knew a rabbit called Stuart (‘Stew-it’).
Also heard someone shouting for their dog, called Beckham in the mid 2000s.

I met a dog called "Cheese" recently

My uncle had two dogs - Arthur Scargill and Leeds United. As a girl, I was embarrassed taking them out when I went round there, because they had absolutely no recall and I hated having to yell their names when they disappeared

I used to name my goldfish after pairs of characters in coronation street. I had jack & Vera and Percy & Phyllis.

My friend’s Labrador was called Isis, which got awkward to yell in the park after the terrorist group became a household name...

@Tulipmonster omg!

When I was a child I had a goldfish called Spotty Muldoon.

There's a dog called Arthur at our local park, the lady named him after her late husband, this I find weird!

Cat called Rubber he came already named!

I once had a budgie called Ian.

Beelzebunny - a rabbit that had to be handled while wearing gauntlets. Decidedly not a cuddly pet.

A friend of mine renamed their rabbit Beelzebub after it chewed through their gold plated speaker cables. I think it started off as Fluffy.

My best mate used to have a pair of bull mastiffs...Bruce and Mike.

Another friend is a dogsitter and has a pug named Frida Kahlo on his books.

Forgot about some of our lovely childhood pets with unusual names:
2 white mice - Mork & Mindy
Budgie - Peri (short for Peregrine Falcon! )
2 Terrapins - Horace Wimp & Elvis

Rabbit called Mr Ribbit

Ds had two gerbils ...Barry and Gary

As a child I had a goldfish called John. I don't even remember why.

Who knew Alan would become a popular dog's name? I know an Alan the Kelpie. He's gorgeous.

My dad had a white Staffie called Bullseye. My sister had a hamster called Ronan after Ronan Keating in Boyzone. My friend had a cat called Colin and a chicken called Nigella

We had a vicious anti social Guinea pig which was completely black. I wanted to call him satan, but was out voted.

Fish called Raymond,
Rabbit called Lapin.

A friend had a cat called slinky Malinky from the hairy maclary / schnitzel von crum books?

My cat is called Sushi

An old neighbour had a Rottweiler called Cuddles.

We have a cat called Puss. She started out as Marmite (pure black cat), then Coco. Wouldn’t answer to either but Puss she answered to straightaway. I do tend to hiss it rather than shout it when I’m calling her in. We don’t ever call her Pussy though!

We used to have a fish called Fishy and an orange tabby cat called Marmalade. Not very original with pet names.

I met a dog called Christine yesterday.

When I was at school a friend had a cat called Barpy Dan the Beanfoot Rustler. He was a lovely chill Burman with epilepsy (managed well).
