50 Times People Heard Such Brilliant And Bizarre Pet Names That They Just Had To Share Them

One of our dogs is named Bob Barker lol.

At the shelter I work at, we tend to give them silly names because they’re meant to be placeholders for their new families to change. One of the fellas I took home was named Soot at first from being found in a dumpster and covered in filth. My shining moment was naming a newly tripoded cat Legolas.

I wanted to name my dog Reinforcements. That way I could say things like "here comes Reinforcements" and nearby folks would be expecting a bunch of people to show up in gear or something but instead a little dog would come. I thought it would be funny but the wife didn't agree.

My friend has a female cat called Gary. It will never fail to amuse me.

My babies name was and is Catalie Portman. We call her Catty or Chatty Catty because she loves to talk.

Dave Growl.

Plastic Bag. He was found in a plastic bag at 3mo so I adopted him from the rescue I worked for.
Renamed him Plastic Kroger Bag.

I had a cat named Squid. Now I have a wire hair mini dachshund named Nosferatu.

My son wanted a corgi for his birthday and insisted on naming her Banana.

My friend in high school named his tiny tetra fish “Combine Harvester”.
