“Ugy” she was a grey cat. Lived to be about 17 years despite the fact that when we got her she had had a bunch of litters, frost bitten ears (tips off), a stump for a tail (rain over by a car) and a scarred bottom lip that was chomped at by a Doberman. Needless to say, she wasn’t the prettiest of girls, hence the name. We loved her, though. Great kitty. =)

S.O.B…and he was a large BLACK dog…when his owners were being “funny” they’d say get over her you Black Son of a B*&^%!

We own a bar. They were customers. They’d order SOB a beer and allow him to drink it out of an ashtray.

My grandfather couldn’t decide what to name the yorkie pup he kept from the litter, so after a couple of weeks the dog started coming to the name Hey-you.

When I was four years old, we adopted a dachshund named Buddha Belly.

After that dog died, our next dog was a dachsie/miki mix and she was the first pet I got to name. My mother said I could call it anything as long as it wasn’t Harry Potter-related. So, naturally, I appealed to Daddy, who said I could call it anything I liked. She became Quidditch.

My grandfather had a cat named OC, short for Other Cat. OC was, in fact, his only cat.

RandomMrdan's avatar

oh, I had a rabbit named “bullet” as well, he was named that because of how fast he was able to fornicate the female bunnies.

My husband had a black lab when I met him, which I renamed “Gatorade”. Apparently he wanted to name her that but his roommates said it was stupid, so instead they called her “Felch”. I wasn’t comfortable calling her that, so we went back to the original name.

look it up on www.urbandictionary.com

casheroo's avatar

lol, i love all the names.
My ex and I had a cat together, we named him Target..because my ex wasn’t fond of pets, and would call stray cats “targets”, as in he’d joke about shooting them. he never would!

@lendwill That reminds me of one of the nicknames for my boyfriend’s cat: Professor Snuggle-Pluff. Or sometimes Professor Plump-n-snuggles.

Well, I have a Puli named Zup. It’s a Hungarian breed so everyone asks us if Zup mean something in Hungarian and it doesn’t. My mom and I were just being silly one day and making up funny pet names and that’s the only one we could remember.

My aunt has a cat named Robert J. Sparkle-Toes but we just call him Bob.

I have a friend whose dog is named Oh My. His family used to have three other dogs named Lion, Tiger and Bear. The idea was that when calling them all they could call out, “Lion, Tiger and Bear, Oh My!”

I have a friend who named his cat Pi because he has 3 legs, plus a stub, or 3.14 legs.

My brother has a cat named Dirty and one named Uh-Oh. His newest dog is named Chubi (pronounced Choooo-bee), which comes from how the word bitch gets printed out when the printer goes off its print head. His other dog is named Dawg.

One of our cats is named Outdoor Kitty (he lives inside now), and another is Franklin the Blue-Eyed Wonder Cat. Three sibling cats are named Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. They follow me all the time, hoping for food.

When I was growing up we had a cat that came to us named Princess Fluff, so we called her MacDuff.

I just remembered… We used to have a deaf cat named Beethoven!

My boss at work had a parrot named Peckerhead. A buddy of mine has a great dane named P-Funk. We had a cat my boys named Randy.

The first pet I ever met was my aunt’s dog up on a little village in Shropshire. He was this tiny piece of fur that mopped the floor and had an ugly flat face looking up every now and then. Dog-lovers would know the type, but I don’t remember now.

His name was Mister Barnaby.

My sister has two dogs called Alobar and Black and used to have one called Moti.

But the best one is her cat: her name is Mouse :)

The woman behind me at the vet this morning had a cat named Mooooo.

@girlofscience can I change my answer? ;) that is hilarious!

Staalesen's avatar

Well, not per now, but I AM planing to buy a cat and name him LOL…

DeanV's avatar

My dog is currently named Yukon. But because he vomits so much, we call him yukin-chuck.

He also has a bit of a jingle in our family that sort of goes with his ability to puke while running

Yukin-Chuck Anderson (his last name)
He can vomit on the run

@MrKnowItAll my wife actually had a cat named Dammit. His full name was Gawd Dammit. My mother in law had a dog named Beaner, because he had pinto bean markings, and my sister had a mouse when we were kids named Tidbit. My pet mouse back then was named Ralph. Then Ralph had babies. I kept the name anyway. Ralph was a cool mouse.

My cat’s name was Napoleon.

It was so normal to us, I forgot to mention it!

Darwin's avatar

When I was a kid we had cats named Bela (for Bela Bartok), Horky (after a reataurant called “Jorge’s” that none of the locals could say right), and Moose (because it embarrassed my mom to have to call him).

My next two cats will be named Sigmoid and Harvard. I swear I saw a cartoon when I was little where the two aliens were named that and I have loved the combination ever since.

Dorkgirl's avatar

Neighbors have dogs named Beans and Bocca.
Sister had a daschund (sp?) named Vienna…wiener dog..ha!

i was reading an interview with a band, and the interviewer asked what they would name a cat (or a dog). and the one guy goes “tax evasion” and the other guy goes “taxidermy.” and i just happened to find a dog a few days later, and taxidermy stuck. she looks stuffed to me!

i don’t actually call her ‘taxidermy’, it’s always ‘taxi’ or just ‘puppy’.
and taxi just fits her.

We have a new, formerly feral cat named Milo the Invisible. At least we think we have him – the food always disappears and someone is using the cat box even though we rarely see him.

Maybe I need to talk to the dogs.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

I had a friend who wanted to name his cat after the chupacabra, but couldn’t remember how to say it at the time.

He settled on Chewbaccacobra.

Another funny name I’ve heard of for a dog is Fathead. It feels really weird calling for him…

MacBean's avatar

My aunt has a black lab mix called Sambo. It feels really weird calling for him, too.

I used to have a cat named Six-Pack. She came to us with six kittens inside.

My brother’s first cat was named Bunny Head because she was hair-brained.

My roomates in college had a kitten they named Agamemnon. When I pointed out that due to her gender she should really be named Clytemnestra, they changed her name to Agamemnonette. She eventually became my cat (they abandoned her at the end of the semester) so I taught her to walk on a leash and found her a new home with some people who (unfortunately in my opinion) changed her name to Blackie.

Some friends of ours had a black lab named Wittgenstein and a cat named Kierkegaard. They were philosophical about pet ownership.
