Breakfast
Following the gym, I ate a banana as I prepared a batch of scrambled eggs for breakfast. 
Today’s batch of scrambled eggs included two eggs, apple chicken sausage and zucchini. It hit the spot!
Funny Pet Names
After breakfast, Ryan and I took Sadie on her morning walk.
I laced up my favorite pair of Reebok SmoothFlex run sneakers (first mentioned here) and also had a chance to try Reebok’s seamless long bra top that the company sent me to try.
The tank is really comfortable and I love the breathability and heather blue color.
An added bonus? The length! I hate it when workout tops are too short and this one is nice and long.
Back to our walk!
During our morning walk with Sadie, we ran into our neighbor who was out walking her dog, PeeWee. PeeWee’s name suits him perfectly, as he’s a tiny little thing with a big personality.
After saying hello, Ryan and I started talking about some of the funniest dog names we’ve heard throughout the years.
The dog park where we used to bring Sadie to run and play in Orlando was the perfect place for overhearing amazing dog names.
Our favorites:
- Cheese
- Frank
- Little Dog
I think Cheese is my all-time favorite dog name. When I heard the guy yell, “CHEESE! Get over here!” I almost lost it. So unexpected!
We also thought it would’ve been funny to name Sadie something that didn’t fit her at all. Like “Spot.”
Question of the Day
- What is the funniest or most amusing pet name you’ve heard?
When I was a little girl, we had a cat named Silly Billy, but I think Cheese takes the cake!
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
My brother has a dog named Little Dog! He had a viszla first and then got her and it just seemed appropriate! She is so stinking cute and goes by Little Dee.
I would looove to name a dog Pickles, but my boyfriend has never been in favor. 🙁
I have a friend who got her daughter a kitten, and that’s what her daughter named it. “Pickles.” LOL
When I was young we adopted a lassie from a couple and his name was Rhombus, we never changed the name, I loved that dog!! My husband and I have a boxer named Ember, she is a ball of fire! I’ve always thought Sauce (the sauce is the boss) would be a hilarious name for a dog!
My friend and I found an abandoned collar at the dog park, & “Little Dude” was the name on the tag. We both giggled and said “AWWWW LITTLE DUDE” Definitely the most memorable name from the dog park. Also a French Bulldog named Meatball.
I don’t think I’ve heard too many weird ones! I guess Dixie? Very southern…
I have a bullmastiff named Newman. I love it because he comes with his own greeting. People love to say “Helloooo Newman!” — he wiggles when people say that to him.
When I was little me and my family adopted this cat (who was 7 at the time) his original name was “weeder” but when my sister said it, it sounded like wiener hahaha so we changed it to Skeeter
My brother had a python named Fluffy. I still get odd looks when I tell that story.
one of my friends named her childhood cat Suitcase…they ended up just calling him “Boy”. I asked her why she named him that and she said when they first got him he would sleep in her Suitcase…
One of my cats is named Elizabeth. She’s a siamese so she is veryyy regal, the name suits her perfectly.
My other cat is named Binky, after Binky Barns of course because he is such a trouble maker.
And my third cat (yes, I am getting into crazy cat lady territory) is named Tigger, because he’s striped and very bouncy!
My fiance is a police officer and had to find a missing dog. The dog was a pug named Sponge. Forunately, Sponge was happily returned to his owners 🙂
We just adopted two beagle puppies from a rescue program and they were names LuLu and Boy Dog. We kept LuLu, but I couldn’t call him Boy Dog, so we changed it to Max.
I about died laughing when I called the vet that we taking care of them to get their records and she said “Boy Dog, I remember him”.
I had a friend (when I was in grade school by the way) who had a black cat named the N word. I found that offensive even back then. But I guess the funny part was, when the cat got out, they could never call it’s name to find him. They could only hope he came back home. (which he always did)
My grandfather named his dog Damnit so whenever he called him he’d yell “COME HERE, DAMNIT!” Haha.
that works in so many different ways. “get off the bed, damnit.” even an aggressive “i love you, damnit” works. ha!
We babysat a frog between my 1st and 2nd grades, and somehow ended up stuck with the frog when 2nd grade started up in the fall. I don’t remember what the frog’s name had been to all the students, but my dad nicknamed her (him?) Frieda Frog. As in, Free-da-Frog. It stuck, because she was always jumping out her tank. We’d find her in the dog’s water bowl or in the fish bowl (fish devoured). So he’d say “just Free-da-frog!!”
I’m a veterinarian so I’ve definitely had my fair share of patients with funny names. My favorite by far has to be a pug named Dr. Growl. Every time he came in I always wanted to greet him as “Doctor.”
My second favorite would be a patient of mine who was a yellow lab named Mrs. Butterworth. It totally fit her because she was such an old lady! 🙂
I once knew two dogs named “Hank” and “Willard”…
Not sure why, but that cracked me up. We’d talk about them like they were our actual neighbors instead of their owners. Still makes me chuckle and that was years ago.
Cheese is hilarious! I want to name my next dog something ridiculous like that!
My husband named our cat “Wi-Fi”!!
I named my first cat Honey Bun, like the pastry. My second cat’s name was Winky because I always thought she was winking at me. I was 4-5 years old at the time.
My roommate in college had this really lazy cat named Bacon! Haha
My husband and his family are all musicians and when I met him he had a cocker spaniel named treble clef. (it’s a musical note) we just called her treble and everyone thought it was trouble. Now we have a black lab mix named Jazz. Always has to be musical with my hubby!
We have four pets in our house. Dogs are Josie and Celia.. nothing interesting there. The cats, however, are Farnsworth (a girl) and Seimore. We were talking the other night about how you could give your pet a semi-obscene first name and then use their middle name to address them. People do it all the time, right? That way, when you go to the vet, the person who calls you in has to say something like, “Butt-cheeks Farnsworth.” I have the sense of humor of a 7 year old and laughed so hard I cried… real mature.
My husband and I have a rescue dog named “Axl”. He came with the name and we didn’t have the heart to change it. He is quite the badass – he even has BB pellets in his ear and neck (we have no idea what kind of life he had before us, but we’re guessing not good) so we gave him the middle name “Rose” and he rocks a red bandana collar.
My dogs are Vanilla and Irwin.
Some people laugh at their names, but they suit them so well!!
My husband and I have a pit bull mix named Emilio. It’s funny to yell out “EMMMIILLLIIIOOOO”
My coworker has 2 chickens named Backpack and Ketchup. I think she let one of her nephews name them…
My neighbor’s little chihuahua is named Happy Happy (not just Happy!). He’s the silliest little dog and he loves crawling in through the drainage hole on our patio to say “hi” to our dog Sawyer (nicknamed The Bean)!
Growing up I had a standard poodle named Jeff (His registered name was Geoffry… very fancy). Now I have a cat named Steve! 🙂
I have a friend with two french bulldogs named Flea and Dirt! Another friend has a beautiful Husky named Frito Lay.
One of my friends named his Chihuahua “Puppy.” She was definitely a little tiny thing but I always thought it was kind of funny and reminded me of something you’d name your stuffed animal as a kid.
Our neighbor’s dog’s name is Taco- seriously SO funny. He’s a little white Lhasa Bichon. Adorable but also unexpected. 🙂
We think it’d be fun to name a dog Pizza simply because if people ask what kind of dog he is we can say things like, “pepperoni”. However, I would not want to have to yell his name out!
My cat’s name is Queso. It’s pretty funny to yell Queso. I felt pretty stupid for the first month we got her!
We named our cat Chicken Pot Pie. And we love it! When we call him we just yell CHICKENNNN!
It still makes me laugh that our Rotty’s name is Brick. People always crack up when we say his name because it’s so fitting, especially for a rot. He’s solid as a brick and dumb as one too. But he’s the softest, kindest, most cuddly dog I’ve ever met! Love him!
My aunt once had a dog named Pancake which I think is perfectly fantastic! I think any food name for animals tends to be great. Our all-white American Bulldog is named Guero (Spanish for light-skinned or White Boy) & we always get chuckles and raves about it.
I know of a cat named Mr. Meowgi.
We had a Black and Tan Miniature dachshund (maybe 15 pounds soaking wet) his name was Rocky, little bitty dog with a big attitude. We had to put him down in February, he had a slipped disc that caused him to loose feeling and movement in his hind legs. It was one of the hardest things my family has ever had to do.
One of my friends has a yellow lab named Colby Jack, and she calls him Cheese or Cheesy! I die every time!! It’s soo cute. I think the name Colby is adorable on its own…but she of course made it hilarious!
I had a cat when I was a kid that my dad named Butterball. He was super fat so we took to calling him Butterfat before finally degrading him to Fatso. Poor thing was probably traumatized by it.
My brother and sister-in-law named their cute little dog, Chicken. Cracks me up!
My friend had a dog named Little Dog and one named Chunk, and her brother has one named Blobber.
I think it’s hilarious when people give dogs human names. Like my puppy (she is a Boston Terrier mix named Aurora) goes to day camp sometimes and she hangs out with a Boston Terrier named Samson and a Corgi named Hector. Cracks me up!
It is hard to keep from cracking up at all these names. I’m at work and I keep having to suppress the laughter. Awesome post.
My friend had a teacup chihuahua named KILLER lol! The size of the dog is what made the name so funny
I think its funny when they are given common human names…. Like Kevin or Amy. I can’t help by giggle.
My family dog growing up was named Slinky. She was a TINY miniature dachshund and reminded everyone of the dog from Toy Story. She had such a small bladder that we almost named her Piddles because she peed EVERY time she got excited or someone paid attention to her!
LOL!!!! Piddles!!
I have a cat named Lebowski. He’s so laid back! Mostly we call him dude. 🙂
I had a friend who named her cat Skittles and that is the most awesome cat name ever.
My friend’s grandma named her little dog “Morgage” because she said he always cost her so much it was like having a Morgage. I loved that name!!
Pink (the singer) had a dog named F*cker and Chelsea Handler has a dog named Chunk. Hilarious.
My friends dogs are named “Dragon” and “Knighthawk” — they’re “Step-Brothers” 🙂 SO funny
Most awkward dog name I’ve heard…”boob”. It was a small mutt of a dog at a dog park named for his nude color with a bright pink nose. The owner had absolutely no embarrassment in describing the origin.
As for most fitting, Parker is my small 3 pound yorkiepoo’s name. He was named after spiderman, Peter Parker and he turned out to be the best parkour-er of all time.
We call our long haired cat Swifter because he always has kitchen floor debris stuck in his fur.
