What are some interesting pet names?

My dogs’ names are Frolich (my girl) and Leibchen (my boy) ...? Dunno if they qualify as interesting, but I sure like them.
German names for German Schnauzers ( :

<——- This is Zup. My daughter and I were just goofing around one day and thought it sounded silly. When we got the puppy it was the only name (of the A to Z group) we could remember. Because he’s a Puli, a Hungarian shepherd, everyone thinks it must be a Hungarian word and they keep asking us what it means.

I currently have a pair of cats and a pair of chinese geese.

The cats are ‘Mia & Marley’ and the geese are ‘Marwyn & Sonora.’

My old cat that died last May was named Gadwicke. ( silent ‘e’ )

One of my favorite cats was named ‘Biff.’ He had a mean left hook. haha

Rats when my daughter was growing up named, ‘Margo’, ‘Alice’ and ‘Nancy’ and 4 hens, ‘Fajita, Carnita, Rosarita & Pachanga. Roosters named Zanzibar, Zorro. and Umpqua.

Had 2 horses, ‘Sugar’ & ‘Budgie’, and dogs, ‘Timbre’ & ‘Ruckus’ ( a big hound with a huge howl. )

I love naming pets! ;-)

<—-This is Bender (named for the dog my Granddaddy had when he was a kid) and my German Shepherd is named Grits (his pedigree name is Sir Galahad’s Breakfast of Champions but I think of him as Sir Galahad’s Champion of Breakfasts).

I try for the unusual when I do decide on naming animals. I have a tendancy to not name animals though, mainly this stems from the fact I keep fish. The ones I have named however were Loki (an angler) , Vladimira ( a peacock mantis shrimp) and Waldo (another angler who was a master of camouflage. :P)

If I had a cat or a dog with long hair, I’d call it Fluther.

Sh1t-head

I swear I am naming my next dog Cornchip. We named the current one Reesie, but her feet always smell like cornchips.

@zenvelo when I get the skill required to house a jellyfish its soooooo getting named Dr J

My last two German Shepherds were Mel and Bebe.I have two Maine Coons named Bill and Gremily.The German Shepherd Dog I have now is Gracie.My two tetra fish are named after whoever asks their name…which at last count was Rod and Kim ;)

Asha for my dog = voice of Set, the canine shaped Egyptian God.
Vashti for my cat = mythical goddess

@Supacase You are so right. Dog feet do smell like cornchips or buttered popcorn. I love that smell : )

The funniest pet name I’ve ever heard came from a TV commercial where this guy’s dog was named Barky Von Schnauzer.

When I was little I had a hamster, called him Odin, after the Norse god of war and death. He was a long haired hamster, and for some reason he reminded me of a Viking, because he was so hairy and because he kept falling down the stairs, off my desk or being stalked by circling crows when I brought him outside…but he was as hyper and happy as ever either way lmao. I miss my hamster. Odin was perfect, even if it took me a month and a half to name him.

I have two cats; Catastrophe and Satan. Catastrophe because the first thing this cat did in my apartment when I introduced him in as a kitten was run around like a psycho and knock over my lamp lmao. And he hasn’t stopped ever since, this cat is hyper as shit lol.

Satan was a kitten I found out in the rose bush…he was so small, his ears weren’t even formed yet. I got special milk from the vet to feed him with, apparently this cat was still supposed to drink milk from his mother. He wouldn’t have none of it, I basically had to force feed him and it was not pleasant. But now, he’s all big and healthy.

That said, I have no idea why I named him Satan, but it fits him fine.

I used to have another cat, a black semi angora, by the name of Cauchemar, nightmare, in French. The name came to me, because he was the runt of the litter from the pet store I got him from. He would just huddle in the corner while the other kittens fought for food, and wait until they left to see if he could find some scraps. I thought that was horrible after sitting thre for forty minutes watching all of these kitties. Not my first encounter with nature’s harsh ways, but still a significant one.

Cauchemar also tried to fatten Satan up when I found the latter. He took care of him, showed him to the food, and I didn’t even have to litter train Satan; Cauchemar did it for me…the vet told me to be careful, because this meant that my older male meant to destroy and eat the younger one, for some territory thing.
He may have been the runt of the litter, but he still knew his shit. His name was well deserved, long before I even realized how perfect it was. Still, I love Cauchemar, who only lived two years after dying of a urinary tract infection.
I love my Catastrophe and Satan too, the names barely matter.

That said, anyone who names their pet Midnight is a boring ass. XD

The next dog I get I’m naming him/her Ladybird. I heard it on King of the Hill and I really liked it ever since.

I had a coonhound named Cubby but he was so wantonly destructive we ended up calling him Malice.

Our dog is Penny, nothing unusual there. Our guinea pigs are named Blondie Wizzpig & Hobnob.

I’m a dog lover and have always thought dogs usually take on a certain name by their personality. Not always, but usually. For example, my last dog had so much energy and we named her Spunky! Now, I’ve a dog and her name is Sadie. It just fit her. Not sure why…but does.

BTW, the dog in my avatar is Spunky. She passed away August 22, 2009 at 2:58am in my arms. Miss her everyday. She was a real lady.

Also, Sadie and I are doing great…she is a rescue that has been totally delightful.

@BoBo1946 : I may try your logic in reverse next time and name a dog Pokey. I could use a rest after this one!

Loll.. got’cha!

Jill, Spunky’s energy was good energy. She always senses the circumstances and did the right thing. She just knew. Cannot explain it, but she was the most thoughtful dog I’ve ever had or ever will have. She always knew instinctively what to do or not do. Could tell hundreds of stories on Spunky. She was one in a million.

My aunt has 2 Maine Coone cats named George and Rosemary Cooney. She also has a dog they call Doomas, spelled D-u-m-b-a-s-s.

My two dogs are Bella and Zara, nothing unusual but I thik they are pretty names. I love animals with “human” names. My friend has a goldfish called Giles for example!

my next cat will be named cabinets. ^.^

@MaekoPoisoning that is purr-fect!
and how cute is the nickname “Cabbie”?

I had a cat named Esme, and still have her sister, Magrat. They’re named after characters in the Discworld. My boy cat is named Archer, after Jonathan Archer on Enterprise.

I just heard the best one today. A lady that came into my store has a betta named Leonardo de Fishy. Brilliant lol

My old neighbors has a sheep named Wallace. lol
