Do you have "pet names" for your pet?
My puppy, my dog’s name is Lizzie but I call her just about everything but Lizzie. I call her Lizzie Lou, Lizzie Girl, Lulu, Lizzie Lulu, Lulu pants, Google pants, Girly girl, Girly pants,etc.
I’m not entirely sure where the pants thing comes from…

My gf’s dog’s name is Coco, but I can’t even think of the last time I referred to her as that, I usually just call her kickflip or little dog.
My wife refers to our chinchillas as “stinky” and “fatty” more often than she uses their actual names.
They’re not particularly stinky or fat, by the way. She just finds it amusing.
I sometimes call Chaos “Mr. Fuzzy Bottom.”
And Sarz is “Demon kitty.”
I lovingly call my Akita “Cody”, even though his real name is Saki Menware.
So many names. Jasper is Jasperoo and fur face mostly.
Oliver is Ollie, Olliwoo, Olliwolly, Ollywollywoo, Ol, you little xxxx.
Isabel gets Issy, Issywizzy, Is, Psycho puppy.
Boo is Booboos, Abbles, Aboo.
Igor is Schmee, Moosh moosh, Schmooly, Mooly.
Yes!! All of them have nicknames. Some of the nicknames have become more their names than their actual names. Rosie has somehow become Wubzy or Meeps. Dobby has about 500 nicknames, including Mr. Baby and Dobcat. Sophie is occasional Sushi. I could go on, but it only gets more embarrassing from here. Shnookums comes into play.
It’s easier to say “Come here Cody, than “Come here Saki Menware.” (His Japanese name, which means “Lightning Strike”) lol
@martianspringtime I know! Only listed the least embarrassing nicknames and pet names I have for my dog in my details. She has about 500 names too. LOL.
And they answer to all of them…
Pendlebury, named after a character in the movie The Lavender Hill Mob. My dawg’s name is Penny, so it kinda makes sense.
I made up a second name, for reasons which remain unclear….angel cake mcallister!?!
@ucme Possibly for the same reasons I sometimes call my dog Google Pants, even though her real name is actually Lizzie? The reasons for that one are a little murky too.
@Bellatrix I really like Ollywollywoo. If you don’t mind, I might add that one to the rotation. That could be Lizzie’s Australian name.
booboo, motu, baby, uglubuglyboo, googoo, yumyumyum, fatttuuu, shtupidd.
Of course @lillycoyote. My Ollywollywoo would be honoured to share his pet name.
My sister’s dog’s name is Angel but I call her; Boo, Pup, Puppy, Poo, Bubby, Mutt, Bitch, Devil, etc.
My sister also has a pet lamb (we are Australian and live on a farm) named Crash but I call it; Smelly, Lamby, Wooly, Boo, Wooot, and on the rare occasion I call it Crash.
His name is Rudy (small pooch): Boobear, Chilibear, Boods, Bubba, Pupperoo, Bear Cub
(my g/f calls him “Little Black Dog” tinyfaery’s name for him “Message to you, Ruudy” (she sings it)
Franklin (cat): Grimace, Frankie, Frankie-Frank, “Frankenfurter, it’s not oh-oh-ver”, Baby Kitten, Little Grey Mouse, Phylis
You mean other than “Dammit”?
OMG, I call one of my dogs, Bender-pants and now my sister is calling her kids John-pants and Sally-pants . . . I also call him Baby Honey (and he starts dancing).
Yes, I do. But I have stopped using them so much since hearing Sylvia the pet psychic say that animals like to be called by their real names.
I used to call my dog “Waffles” by “Pup”, often repeated 3 or 4 times.
Haha yes. Pitch is P or PitPit. Leica is Poo. P n’ Poo keep me pretty busy at times.
Of course!
My cat “Mia” is also Mimi, meme, meeps, honey, and screaming Mimi.
“Marwyn” my goose is Darleen, Squeeny Darlini, Marc o’ ween, and just plain Marc.
His wife “Sonora” is Feenora and Seenora. They all get used, multiple times a day.
MIlo here; It is hard to find a diminutive for “Gail,” and besides she is often very unsatisfactory. As we speak, she is outside shoveling snow, and, I must say, doing a very sloppy job of it.
I tend to call both my dogs Sweetie, Sweetheart and Pudding a lot.
I often call Bella, Bella Boo and Zara is often Zsa Zsa or Zazoo!
I have a tortoise called Agnes that my dad often calls “the pasty” (he thinks that Agnes looks like a Cornish Pasty!)
Our dog is a poodle and his name is Reggie. But I usually call him poodlie or poodles.
When he’s naughty we call him Mr. Pee Pot and when he’s good we call him sobatchka or bubby-dog.
I don’t, but my grandson uses pet names a lot, for his car, the dog, and others. He calls our dog Squeaky because of the dog’s habit of whining whenever we leave him inside or on the patio.
When my dog does something bad I call him: do..ggy!
What is it about names with ‘pants’ in them? I forgot “Jasper pants”. I think it’s because of his furry little legs and that it can look like he is wearing furry pants as he runs off down the hallway.
Oh and Isabel also gets ‘go go gadget legs’. She can just straight up in the air a few feet. It looks very funny.
@Bellatrix I was wondering about that one too. I thought maybe it was just me but then @Kayak8 added Bender-pants and now it’s you too, with Jasper pants! What is it with the pants thing? And I like “go go gadget legs.” :-) I know the Lizzie Lou and Lulu variations came after I started calling her “Lizzie Lou Who,” after the whos in Whoville, from How the Grinch Stole Christmas but the pants thing I have no clue about. It’s funny.
I call my cats the spuds or spuddy; “Hey spuddy”! :-/ aka Jasmine & Mouse.
My pussycat was named Antonia by the shelter’s volunteers.
I named her Twinnie, but never called her that, I call her Pinnie.
As well as Pinniemas, Pinniemaster, and Izzybizzytwizzyfizzy.
@rebbel
haha..I used to call my old cat ” Giz the wiz” and another one “puffyman.” lol
Our dog Buddy is regularly called by Mutt.
My cat’s name is Barry, but I generally refer to him as Barnabus, Barnacle, Bear, Bearbear, Barney, chumbus, big guy, jumbo, sassyboy…..theres so many.
@deni Haha..“Barry”...my goofy neighbor is named Berry. lol
My old neighbor and I had a joke for years, we’d always hear each other across our properties calling for our animals in our wacky voices and silly nicknames. We had horses, goats, geese, dogs, cats, chickens, everything, between us.
Flashlights bobbing around. We actually cut a trail between our fence lines and called it “cup o’ soup trail ” and we’d exchange mugs of soup or tea in the winter, and beer and wine in the summer before the nightly roundups. haha
Only in the country, I’d be carted away to the real funny farm if I was in the city. haha
My cat’s name was Chester, but we called him Cheddar Boy, Cheddar Cheese, Chester Louise and Chester Chelsea near the end because they removed his boy junk, closed that area off and created another opening beneath his bum, for his urine to come out and not get clogged by crystals. I had another cat before & with Chester. His name was Tim-er. There was a kid in school who’s nickname was too cool for him, so I gave it to my cat. I called him Bister Tibbs, Funny Man, Timmy. I called both of them Buddy or Buddy Boy all the time. I miss the crap outta both of them. Tim-er got old and had to be put down almost 2 yrs ago now and Chester had to be put down last month, but at least they are free now and outta pain.
We call one of our blue cats “tick” because he looks like one now. He usually goes by Leo.
Our Maine coon we call “gourd head” because, well ,those cats have wicked big heads. He will answer to Ese’ and a whistle.
Our out door cat we sometimes call “screach” because he never shuts up. He will appear out of the bushes when we holler “Butters!” and a whistle.
I call Town Dog, Town Dog!!!
@JilltheTooth “So how are Pitch’s itches?”
He’s doing fine now and thanks for asking. No more Prednezone needed after two bottles and no changes to diet or walking routine through the grass either.
Pet names for my cats worked a different way, than they do for Lizzie, my dog. Each of them had a primary and secondary nickname; Bugsy’s were Little Buddy and Little Guy and Casper’s were Casper Doodle (variant: Casper Doodle Do) and Casper Cat, then each one of them had their own nickname generating “system,” kind of a perpetual random nickname generating machine that always incorporated their real name. Casper’s system basically involved adding suffixes of some sort to his name like Caspership, Casperlicious, Casperness (that one led to the occasional Your Royal Casperness), Casperonium, Casperette, Caspericity, Casperfy, Casperize, Casperesque, etc. Bugsy’s system was basically incorporating his name into the names of real people (or fictional sometimes): Bugs Guevara, Bugsferatu, Vincent Van Bugsy, Albert Bugstein, Werner Heisenbugs, Tycho Bugsy, Humphrey Bobugs, Daniel Day-Bugsy, Alexander the Bugs, Teddy Bugsevelt, Mohammad Bugsi … well, you get the idea.
I also used to like giving them both random psuedo-Latin names like Casperius Casperatum and Bugsium Bugsorum.
@woodcutter Wow! That is one seriously engorged wood tick! Is it yours? Do you have a pet name for it? Like Tickzilla or something?
@Bellatrix I also forgot that I sometimes call Lizzie, my dear puppy, Freaky Freak Freak, when she acts crazy, which she does a lot, which may be the equivalent of your Psycho Puppy.
My kittens name is Ty, ill call him Ty Ty or kitty kitty, my SO will call him MeMow sometimes
Yes. My Beagles name is Lucy so I call her Lucy Goosey or Lucy Girl :3
My dog’s name is Lucy. I call her Lucy-Lou, Goose, Goosey-Goo, and Gooseberry.
I use Goose and Gooseberry most often because she is, after all, a silly goose.
I have another dog named Chewy, but I always call him Scooter, Scoots, or Scoots-for-poots. Then there’s Peanut, another dog, I also call her Nutly, Nut, The Queen, or Peanuckle.
I have a 13 year old cat who I have given him several different nickname/pet names. One is hellion because he can be a real stinker at times. Or Scampers which is a nickname for his name Scampie. Mama’s cuddle bunny because my cat loves to cuddle, and mama’s purrr baby due my love of hearing my cat purrr when he is really happy
Puddles ,my dog in my profile picture, is really sweet and doesn’t listen for anything. Anyway my brother named him and my mom calls him puddles wuddles duddles doo. I feel so sorry for him.
