What's the best/funniest/worst names of pets that you know of?

[TheJediSmurf]

Just being nosey really I once met someone who's dogs' names were Gin and Tonic quite good names really but a bit naff I thought. Also dd (13) had a friend who named her rabbit Hell! What were her parents thinking?!?!

Oops just realised maybe this wasn't the right place to start this thread ?? (new to mn BTW)

My previous landlady's daughter had two cats called Rhubarb and Custard, which I thought was quite sweet :)

One of my friends has cats called Millie and Boobs lol :D

I have a girl guinea pig called Trevor.

We thought she was a he. We bought a boy piggie so they could live happily together.

2 baby piggies later and she lives with my mum in a guinea pig mansion.

We kept a boy baby to keep our original boy company. He is called Baby Trevor.

I have a pony called Piglet. Apparently when she was born she had a squeaky voice and a curly tail so Piglet became her nickname and it stuck.

We also have a pair of chickens called Dawn and Jennifer. And a pair of bantams called David and Victoria Beakham.

And 2 sheep called Shania and Davina.

And a pigeon who adopted us called Kes.

My son has a Basset hound called Shirley. Named after Shirley Bassey. I remember Julien Clarys dog whose name was Fanny the Wonder Dog. I like that.

Neighbour had three labradors called Boozy, Bevvy (Scottish word for alcohol) and Salty.

When I was 3 I named the cat Stinker

When I was 5 I named my hamster Joan-Lee , I've no idea why anybody let me name anything after Stinker.

My sister used to have a hamster called Dr Pemberton after her GP!
I once had a hamster called Merle, she was a massive ginger Syrian hamster.
I have friends who have a 'Daddy Rabbit' and 'Mother' who was a cat.

Sou i definitely don't think my gran was racist just woefully ignorant. As we're a lot of people back then.
But I can imagine how some people now a days can try to justify such terrible racist names. Because it's an animal. Revolting twats.

My daughter's bf has a dog called Nigel! Love it.
We had gold fish called Car and Wind....dd came up with those, and also called her hamster Muddles as he was asleep during the day and awake at night.
My sister had a cat called Fibonacci.

Best one I know of (many years ago now) was a very, very up-market retired-admiral type bloke with a cat called Knickers.

He was well known in the area for standing on his back doorstep and shouting (very poshly) KNICKERS . . . KNICKERS

I met a dachshund called Frank the other week, but didnt ask if his surname was 'Furter'.
Our first one was Max Plan(c)k ( we're chemists and it seemed apt for a long dog). We also have met a Schnapps.

I had a gerbil called Mouse. My then husband used to say to the cat "where's the mouse?" The cat showed no interest whatsoever.

As a child my sister had a gerbil called Lassie. She desperately wanted a rough collie but our parents refused point blank.

We had hamsters called Mini, Rocco and Fidget. We now have a cat called Heidi because she's very shy and hides under the bed when we have visitors.

OP, the rabbit called Hell is most likely inspired by a clothing brand called Hell Bunny, they do gothic/alternative stuff.

Friend used to have 2 cats called Russell & Bromley

Years ago, in the early 90s, a flat mate called two goldfish Kevin & Ian, the names of Robert Maxwell's sons. He'd just fallen off his yacht & the kids were all over the newspapers

I cant help feeling that 'paired' names must be sad when one of them dies.

I have a female cockatiel called Gary and a rabbit called Walter. Love human names for animals!

My bf has a curly donkey sized labradoddle called Brillo .. he really matches his name.

There is a black retriever type dog in the close called Growler

I adopted a piggie which came with the name 'Princess Caramel Barbie Taylor' - who became known here as Tig!

My Grandad had a dog called "Darkie" ( this was in the 1930s but I cannot imagine calling the dogs name in the park )

I had Evil Edna (guinea pig) when I was a teenager (and she lived up to her name)

I had a hamster as a child called Luciano Pavarotti (Luci -Loochee- for short) because he was big and hairy

And always take the piss out of my DF because he had a rabbit as a child called Hoppy

I know a hamster called Armageddon and a Rottweiler named Cynthia. (Not from the same household.)

Our cat doesn't really have a name, a few were suggested but never really st.uck so I just call her 'cat'. Cat brought in a live hamster for us a few years ago. I tried to track down the owner but to no avail so the hamster lived with us. You've guessed it she was called hamster

A friend of mine has a pet snake called Lieutenant Dan, after the character from Forest Gump.

Oreo is an awesome name 70, Oreo the rat agrees

I have a rat named Howl, it was only when I was registering all of them over the phone to the new vet a month ago, and the receptionist said "Oh, he must be a dog!" that I realised how odd it must be, especially now that the other two following the theme are both dead (Haku and Ashitaka, male protagonists from Studio Ghibli!) so even if you were a fan of Ghibli you may not get the link!

I love 'bland' human names for animals, like Norman or Berta, it's just amusing

I knew a boy at school who had a cat called Gaywood. His dad used to hate having to call it in of an evening.
