To be annoyed by what people call their pets...?

[Haylebop12]

So, mainly, I don't allow the common abbreviation of my dd's name because I know about 3 dogs with the same name.
To add to that they (the animals) have taken jack, molly, Tyler, Millie and many more.
AIBU to think that pets should have pets names like socks, tigger, fluffy?

Can y tell u can't sleep!!

You were so close OP to sharing your name with just one, small yet feisty, fat, Jack Russell terrier

Trixie?

I never thought of you as a Trixie Devora

Sleep - ah yes, hello bed!

It's been fun, g'night all.

Brian?

Outsied.

Now.

devora I'm guessing Bonnie or Petra, my GP two teapot chihuahuas were called that! ;-)

Mrs DeVe.

Giro is the best pet name evah apart from mine.

Kudos.

*yappy
Haven't got the foggiest idea where teapot cane from!!

YABU. All my pets have extremely old fashioned names, it's cute!

Besides I'd feel like a moron yelling 'come fluffy!' on a dog beach...

My cats are chilli and nacho

I am waiting to acquire a salsa and guacamole

I worked as a veterinary nurse for the RSPCA in the inner city.

I was constantly amazed at the utterly dull and unimaginative names people gave their animals.
Duchess
Duke
Lucky (always some poor cat that had suffered the unluckiest accident imaginable)
Lady
Prince

Then came the Tysons and Rockys

I left in the mid late 80s. I suspect if I still worked there it would be the usual Duchesses and Luckys but with at few Fiddy cents and Beyonces thrown in for good measure.

Call your pets what u want just stop stealing our DC's names!
You don't have to call your dog fluffy, that would be more a cat/hamster I suppose.
Maybe a little imagination...

A woman I knew actually tld me she was thinking of calling her new puppy the same name as my DD! Slightly unusual but classic name which has made the top 50 list..she OBVIOUSLY wanted another DC!

I said "Er NO! Don't you dare!" and suggested another name which she loved.

It is silly calling pets the names you'd like to use for a DC...or would like bubt don't dare!

I always like it when people call cats things like "Mrs Kempton" and "Mr Frondyke"

I don't know why....it always makes me think they've named them after someone they don't like!

devora has gone quiet, maybe I guessed correctly?

He was ACE. He had three legs.
He used to come to Glastonbury and Stonehenge and Reading with me (the festivals not the towns).
He wore bandanas and when we went on the tube he would leap into my arms to be carried.
I used to dye his hair when I did mine (crazy colour so not dangerous).
He lived a very long life.

I got him from Battersea and paid for him with my Giro and he cost £25.

I loved that dog.

Totally agree kiss
My brothers are ... Wait for it...
William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway!
Mental!

Haylebop and MrsDV have come quite close

I must say I do love it that MrsDV's PETS have names that are well posh and wouldn't be out of place in a Hampstead prep school, while her CHILDREN have names that regularly appear on the MN most hated lists . Though, as she knows, I think the names in question are lovely and will have their turn in the sun, mark my words.

A childhood friend had dogs called Freedom and Doppelganger.

A family friend of ours named her DD2 the same name as our dearly departed cat. It's not a big deal.

'Stealing names?' Wow, that's totally rational...

FYI I have seen two of my cats names' on here many times and once even my dog!

Our dogs have had the names they came with
Neither particularly human

Op you will be pleased to know I named my Russian hamster Om and Ob and then Omsk and Tomsk ( I'll keep
Quiet about boris and Ivan)

While walking her own dogs DSis encountered a vicious-looking yob shouting to recall his equally vicious-looking canine 'pets'.

They were apparently called 'Spunk' and 'Wank'.

True lurking, it's not a big deal I just wondered how others felt about it cuz from the off I was adamant my dd would not be called by the abbreviation most common to get name.

Whilst I'm here, anyone else get annoyed with predictive text on iPhone!!!! If it's do smart it should understand that I was typing her not get from the construction of the sentence. Rant over!
