I had two cats - one was the runt of the litter and stayed petite until old age. She was nicknamed Kitteny Spears.

@Singlebutmarried

Frank (a pug) Dave (a bulldog) Alice (a collie) Ollie (a collie) Colin (a muttley) Rita (a staff)
We have a pug named Frank in our street too! Our wee scruffy boy is named Fergus and I can't imagine him being called anything else.

A slightly bonkers working cocker called Taxi. Quite amusing to see the owner standing in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere patiently practicing recall shouting "Taxi!"

Ds a dog called Dastardly
The best cat we ever had was a ginger boy called Kevin, we currently have a female called Precious!

@JauntyJinty

Achilies

So you can should "Achilies Heel" and then when they don't so it say "They're really well trained, that's their one weakness"

That nearly made me spill my drink. Genius.

My friend had a JRT called Radish. Also know of one called Deefer (Deefer dog!!) .....

Dogmum40 · 06/01/2022 13:43

My friends dogs are Ronnie and Reggie and trust me they are very much like the Krays, love their mum and pretty much hate everyone else 😆

ThatDamnedDog · 06/01/2022 13:43

This will totally out me in real life!
My DC has a cat with a human name (Carl), but I didn’t think that it suited his nature so I changed it to Barbara. As I spend the most time with the cat, this is now his preferred name and what he responds to 😏

My dog is called Barty (crouch jnr) from the Harry Potter series. He gets his full name when he is in trouble 😂

RincewindsHat · 06/01/2022 13:43

Ronnie Barker for a very vocal dog.

@Hemingwayscatz

I like it when they have human names. My aunt’s dog is Gordon and the one before that was Jake, she talks about them like they are humans and it makes me laugh. I met a poodle called John once and a lab called Brian.
Hahaha I don't know why but that just IS funny. My DH wants a cat and to call it Dave but somehow a dog called John or Gordon is funnier.

Sat Nav - because he runs off but always finds his way home

SlipperTripper · 06/01/2022 13:47

Our wiry sausage is called Ralph (an ode to Bernadette, in Priscilla Queen of the Desert) but the fact that he shouts his own name is also a bonus.

longtompot · 06/01/2022 13:50

A Great Dane called Derek
