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!

This is Colin. He is a collie.

As a kid , we had a turtle called Vinegaravus . Love the rottweiler on Googlebox called Dave.

Salt & Pepper for our DC goldfish.

Steve the cat.

We had a hoptamus prime - he was a rabbit

Also voldetort the tortoise

Severus snake and danger noodle the snakes

I once had a cat called 'Brian' because he was a 'very naughty boy'

Our collie is Norman Stanley Fletcher

I was at a garden centre that also sells fish last weekend, and a pair of small children were picking out two goldfish. Apparently they were going to their new lives as Aubameyang and Fluffy.

I know chickens called Gandalf, Nigel Havers and Zeus (same owner.) Egg was taken by a fox last year.

My sister has a pair of rag doll kittens called Shane McGowan and Lipstick.

TinySongstress

My brother (until quite recently) had an alsation called Mouse! And my niece named one of her brother's Berber Skinks 'fluffy'.

I had goldfish (sadly no longer with us) named Barry Garry Harry and Larry.

We had a goldfish called Nice and then Nice Too.

DCs first pets so they chose the names. DD was 4 so chose Goldie, DS was 1 so had a limited number of choices, the fish could have been called Daddy, Biscuit, No or Nice.

Nice died quickly so we ended up with Nice Too. Goldie lived for ages.

Ian the cat.

Waggy the Labrador. The toddler that was with them earnestly explained that the lab was called Waggy because he wags his tail a lot.

My mum's family called every dog they ever owned Peter. My mum's family is a bit odd.

SIL had a hamster called Patrick.

My brother and I got kittens when we were children. I called mine Magdalena and he called his Ken. They were both female.

Tuppence which is a northern word for a fanny

Is it! My mum had a dog called Tuppence 🤣 but after the old fashioned money.

I used to ride a horse called Ears.

A dog called Dave,
A cat called FC (fucking cat) and his brother AFC (another fucking cat) can you tell my brother didn't really want them
A cat called Fendi

Daughter has a cat called George Michael and if they get another they intend to call it stevie wonder.

In the past the kids had rabbits. They were called "rabbit" and "Sheila".

Cats called Noddy and Plank

there was a dog locally called Fat boy. He went missing and many of the community went out to find him. The fact loads of people were out shouting 'Fat boy' made me laugh

When I was growing up we had a rescue dog who came to us already named Sheila.

This was particularly unfortunate because that was also our next door neighbours name so when we would call the dog in from the garden very often our neighbours head would pop up over the fence.

We did try to change the name but the dog was having none of it so Sheila she remained and a very lovely dog she was too. In the end the neighbours moved away (hopefully not because of our dog)

Michael Cain the parrot. The owner only ever spoke to him in Michael Cain impressions and thus the parrot actually sounded a little bit like Michael Cain

We’ve had cats called Pooky, Muppet and Pingu.
Think my favourite pet-on-the-internet name was an angry Koala called GumNut.

We had a chicken called Mrs McQueen, because she kept escaping from the chicken run.

My brother had a gerbil called Sid Vicious
