Funny Pet Names

August 29, 2012 by Julie 247 Comments

Another day, another quality Best Body Boot Camp workout! I didn’t follow the prescribed total body workout exactly today because my legs are still quite sore from Monday’s strength training and my body felt a little tired going into the workout. I scaled the workout back a bit, but still left feeling happy that I worked up a little sweat!

Breakfast

Following the gym, I ate a banana as I prepared a batch of scrambled eggs for breakfast. chiquita bananabanana peeled

 

 

 

 

 

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!

    I have a little dachsund I named Limo. He has been called “Stretch Limousine!” When he’s in trouble 🙂
    I also have a boxer named Ali after Muhammad , but that probably isn’t too original.
    This is fun!

    I always hate telling people that our cat’s name is…. Kitty Boy. UGH. Haha! He had a real name when we first got him, we named him Tyson, but my fiance always called him dumb names and unfortunately, Kitty Boy stuck. We’re the weirdos at the vet when the Dr. calls back Kitty Boy. Ha! 🙂

    A friend of mine used to have a dog named Porkchop – I always loved that one! 🙂

    hahahah soo cute! okay so this one is a bit confusing for those who don’t know korean. But my old piano teacher used to have a cat that had a cute, tiny little white spot right above her upper lip–and that spot looked like a piece of white rice. So she called her “bah-puhl-ttae-ghee”, which means sticky piece of rice. lol.

    My boyfriend’s family used to have a lot of farm animals, and they gave their cows and horses really random names. The two main ones I can think of right now are Chicken Salad for one of their cows and Brown Horse, their only horse that’s still alive. He was brown, but now he is half white because he’s getting pretty old! Oh, and their australian shepherd’s name was Puppy, which is funny because when I met my boyfriend, I told him I wanted to get a dog and name it Puppy. Soul mates, I tell ya (or just weirdos)!

    When we were picking out our pup (Daisy) from the Humane Society, there was another dog that we had our eye on. I’m pretty sure that my fiance just wanted him because of his name- Larry. He thought the idea of running around the dog park, calling the dog’s name would be hilarious. It’s not that strange but it’s funny because it’s such a middle aged man’s name.
    I was at the dog park one day and a grumpy old woman kept calling for her dog, Stefan. It seemed like a fancy name for a dog, but to each their own!

    My fiance’s family had a cat named Katie when he was a kid. Apparently that’s what they always wanted to name a girl if they had one but thought they never would. 9 years later they had a little girl and still used the name! They changed the cat’s name to Shady and told the brothers to act like it hadn’t happened (which of course they didn’t and still make fun of it). I always found that hysterical.

    The dog we had growing up ended up having the most ridiculous name. We named him Cocoa Candy Gotham when we first got him. His parents’ names had both been references to candy, so we figured that was their last name, and Gotham is our last name. Over the next year or two, my brother decided he didn’t like the name Cocoa. He kept trying to change the dog’s name. Instead, we’d add it as a middle name. His name ended up being…

    Cocoa Shadow Oatmeal Candy Gotham.

    All my friends knew that was his whole name too. We really only ever called him Cocoa, but sometimes people would pull out the whole thing. It always cracked everyone up.

    CHEESE! I can’t get enough of that name. Maybe a celebrity will pick up on it – perhaps, Gwyneth? Then she can have Apple & Cheese 🙂

    I have a little white fluffy pup named Molly – however, when I was 10, I decided she needed the middle name Marshmallow – so we call her MollyMarsh.

    My dog is named Argos, which isn’t all that funny…

    but my roommate’s cats are brothers named Steve & Nancy. When he got Nancy, he thought it was a girl. Then he found out otherwise, but by that time it was too late and the name had stuck! He’ll forever be a Nancy boy 🙂

    It is funny when I’m on the phone and the person on the other line hears “Steve! Get out of the trash!” lol.

    Hilarious! When I was little, I had an orange tabby cat I named “Scutterbotch”… Which was my somewhat-dyslexic translation of Butterscotch lol Also, my old boss had two cats- Cheesefry and Oatmeal Raisin Muffinhead- And yes, they called him by his FULL name. Oh, and this was BEFORE he and his wife had kids! Apparently, I run with people who give their cat(s) crazy names- my best friend’s sister named her cat Poop. Yes, just Poop.

    I dated a guy nicknamed Cheese in college. It took me a while to get used to calling him his real name once we started dating, since all our friends referred to him by Cheese. You think having a dog named Cheese is funny, try dating a Cheese.

    we have a 10 month old pug named Olive… it fits her! plus I love olives… especially in my martinis 😉 🙂

    the funniest pet name I know is my in-law’s dog… they just got a golden retriever puppy and named her Abby Normal, inspired by this scene from Young Frankenstein:

    Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruck’s?
    Igor: No.
    Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?
    Igor: Then you won’t be angry?
    Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
    Igor: Abby someone.
    Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby someone. Abby who?
    Igor: Abby… Normal.
    Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby Normal?
    Igor: I’m almost sure that was the name.
    Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?

    pretty funny!!

    I never call my dog by his real name, Ollie.

    I always call him “boobies”. I don’t even realize that it’s weird that I yell that out and he comes running, until someone looks at me funny. I used to call him boo-boo. Then, it sort of shifted over to boobies. It’s fitting though b/c he loves stealing bras 😉

    We have a Buckle (she likes to sniff crotches so she’s always going for the buckle area). Bucket (she ate a bucket of frechly caught gulf shrimp and puked everywhere) and Devo as she’s a Whippet (whip it good!). Our cat Reilly is often called “fluffy bunny but” and her sister Luna is known as ass-sniffer. … Our pets seems to be addicted to butt sniffing!
    In the 1930s my dad had a black coker spaniel called …. (Holyhell) N¤¤¤er … It wasn’t a racial slur then (nor was calling a black cat Spook apparantly!)

    I use to work at a rescue, and when a new batch of rescue dogs would come in, we would name them after a theme. One of my favorite themes was car brands; we had a Dachshund called “Limo” and another called “Dotson”. Another favorite of the Christmas theme; we got a bunch of Italian Greyhounds in and named them after Santa’s reindeer.

    I never think we have pets with weird names until I list them to people and get a strange look in response.
    We have a rabbit named Buddha, a mastiff mix named Cairo and a small black pug named Zombie. We were once walking Zombie at a dog park (before we had adopted Cairo) and ran into a large silver pit-mix named Gremlin. I’m definitely holding onto that name for a later use.

    We had a white cat that I named Snowball…very original, I know, but I was 5. Anyway, my brother got mad about something one day and posted a sign on his bedroom door telling the whole family to stay out. He couldn’t spell to save his life, so the sign read, “STAY OUT, EVEN SONEBALL!” Needless to say, we mostly referred to the cat as Soneball after that. 🙂

    We had a beagle named Larry. We have a stray cat that we called kitten for the longest time because we were only fostering her. We decided to keep her and felt bad because she didn’t have a name. My husband decided to change her name every month. Some of the names were Elvis, Pickles, Pistachio, Chuck Norris. He just randomly picks something every month It is hilarious!
