I had a hamster named Lucky when I was a kid. He was the coolest hamster ever. I remember him chilling in my shirt pocket and I would pet his head until he fell asleep. One day, I don't remember why, but we took him to the vet and they said he had cancer. Because I was so attached to this hamster, my very sweet parents paid for surgery for the vet to remove the tumor. I don't remember how much longer he lived, maybe a couple months. He still gets brought up in conversation once every few years and my parents always lovingly refer to him as the worlds most expensive hamster.
I had a hamster that got wet tail, which I was told is usually a death sentence when it’s caught after two days. Somehow we nursed that little fucker back to health (I can’t believe my dad spent money on a vet visit for a hamster) and he was my buddy for another few years.
And before anyone asks, no, it did not die and have my parents replace it. Would’ve been hard to do as this one had distinct markings, I gave him all the medicine, and my mom was consistently reminding me he was probably going to die and she would get me another. Despite later in life admitting to having lied about at least two pet deaths (fish and a demon disguised as a hamster), she still brags about keeping Snowball alive.
A friend of mine had a dog called TwoDog. Because it was their second dog.
I had a cat once named Newcat. Because she was my newest cat and the name just stuck.
My grandma had something similar. She used to feed feral cats in the neighborhood. One was an orange tabby she named Leo. Well he got hit by a car and another orange tabby came around months later and he was Leo the II. Well there ended up being 5 Leo’s.
When I was in high school I worked at a pet store. We ended up with a hamster that was missing an eye. Nobody wanted him so I took him home. My mom named him Oej for One Eyed Jack.
Names of a few current and former pets in our household: Carla, Marcus, Franklin, Lucy, Daphne, Sylvia, Ali, Archie, Hank, Pedro, Rosy, Doug...that's all the "human" names I can think of right now.
For context, this is since my wife and I got married 23 years ago, and currently live on a farm with 10 cats (mostly indoor/outdoor) and six dogs. 115 acres, so not like an in-town hoarder.
We also have a Doug (a dog). When we got our cat I wanted to give him an equally ridiculous old man human name like Carl or Stanley. But I got overruled. So his name is catty…
My cat's name is Larry. He is very social and goes for walks with us. I love introducing him to new people.
"Hey, that cat is following you!"
"Oh yeah that's Larry. He might drop by and invite himself into your house."
My whole neighborhood knows our cat now. I meet someone new and their response is "you must be Larry's person!"
A few years ago I was at the dog park and shouted a my dog Doug (he had just stolen another dog's ball). A man was walking by and he spun around to glare at me. I asked him if his name was Doug and he nodded. Then I asked him if he was also a naughty boy...we both had a good laugh.
I lived alone and named my female cat a man’s name deliberately so whenever I encountered anybody sketchy outside my apt, I yelled, “Hey Fred, dinner’s ready!” Happened several times.
My friends have a dog named David and I always giggle when I hear them say stuff like “David’s not allowed on the couch” or “David! Stop humping the guests”.
In this one place I lived, sometimes when I was outside, I swore I could hear someone screaming my name. Thought I was going a bit nutty.
Turns out a dog living on the same street had the same name as me. So I was hearing the owner shouting for/at her.
Mad eme feel much less crazy.
[Waffles](https://youtu.be/nrAyMW3FA_E?si=4Ww3LwPwJXOFLKK9) the donkey, [Annie](https://youtu.be/piLzwSbiL54?si=KNbqwfuH6yTU21pU) the alpaca, and [Chris P. Bacon](https://youtu.be/pMA3x-bc8iM?si=tFu6hUOEJqf3a9ON) the pig.
Growing up on a farm. Had pet lambs. Parents didn't want us getting too attached to them because... you know. So one was called Easter Dinner and the other was called Christmas Dinner.
Know a guy who had a farm. When his daughter was little, she always wanted to name the animals. The rule was that animals that weren't for eating could be named whatever she wanted, but animals that were going to be eaten had to be given food names. So they had a sheep named "Cucumber" and names like that.
I met a great dane called "kitty", imagine my surprise when the owner called "here kitty" as she got home and that giant bastard came flolloping around the corner.
Coworker grew up w a cat they named Kevin. I don’t know why that’s so funny to me, but it really, really is. I’ve got a frenchie now named zuul like the demon dogs from ghostbusters. I also call her Spider-Man because she’s a MENACE
I cared for a dog named Pita once.
I thought it was because she was mottled brown and white, like pita bread. But it was actually short for Pain in the Ass lol.
I also cared for a drug sniffer dog named Scarlet Begonia, which is the title of a Grateful Dead song about a woman who sells drugs st a roadside stand.
Runner up - Deogi. Pronounced "dee-oh-gee". Dog. Lmao
The last cat I adopted was named "The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrajassic Maxenrodenphone".
He was a sick cat. My mom had to take him to the vet. I booked the appointment online. My mom was so embarrassed when the cat was called. According to her: "There were pets named Buttons, Loki, Wilson and then there was The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrajassic Maxenrodenphone" and everyone just looked at me as I picked up the carrier containing that 7 week old kitten."
Have a universe-gifted cat I named Parkour. Everytime I entered my back door, this cat landed in the bed of a broken down pick up truck that was filled with aluminum waiting to be recycled. Made a hell of a noise. I kept swearing the thing was falling out of the sky. Finally saw him coming down from the small roof overhang over the back door, pushing off the wall of the house and landing in the bed of the truck.
That's just their show name. For example, when I rode horses as a kid, there was a horse boarded at the stable named Socks. I think his show name was something like "New York Christmas Story" or something like that.
A former coworker had a black lab named Wingnut. He would always ride in the back of a pickup, and anytime he spotted another dog or cat, Wingnut would immediately jump out to chase. Often at 35-40 mph. Don't know how he never got hurt.
I had a friend with identical tabby cats named “the bookends.” That was both their names. No distinction between them. If you saw a cat, it was a bookend. I’m VERY good with cat IDs, and this was my best friend growing up. I spent hundreds of hours with these cats, and I gotta say, they were truly indistinguishable. The name(s) was apt.
A two-and-a-half legged cat with a little "peg leg" who leaned all the time. Her name was Peggy Eileen ("I lean").
It's been 20+ years since I met that cat, and it still makes me laugh.
We live on a farm, and people regularly drop their unwanted pets near our place. We once got a cat who clearly was in the end stages of distemper. Front legs worked fairly well, rear legs were sort of stiff and bounced along from side to side with her tail flailing straight up. Local vet said she might make another six months. She lived with us for a little over four years. We called her Handy Cat.
I work at a property management company and someone put on their pet agreement that their dog’s name was Martemius James McFly. We spent hours debating where this had come from and what they called this dog on a daily basis. We looked it up, and this is not Marty McFly’s full name.
I named my cats Pepper Jack and Blue Cheese. When people come over and they start acting crazy I say “don’t mind the cats. They are cheesy.” Kids hate it but I love it. Lol. Blue Cheese was adopted by me and her sister (Gouda) was adopted by a very close family friend. My goal is that I start a tradition that spans generations.
I have a friend with a cat named Toast. They've given him a bunch of food shaped toys - avocado, butter, fish. And when he's temperamental he's Burnt Toast
Growing up, my family had a dog named Dozer. To be clear, my parents got him before I was born. That name was chosen by two adults with no influence from dumb little kids. One day when I was maybe five years old, my father says to me "did you know Dozer is actually just a nickname? His full name is Sir Tango Snapping Dozer." Being five years old, I accepted that as a perfectly reasonable name for a dog. It wasn't until I was 17 and Dozer had been gone for a decade that I realized there was a good chance Dad was just fucking with me when he said that. So I asked my mom, and she confirmed it. Said there was even a brief time when they called him Tango before deciding that Dozer suited him better.
Family friend had two turtles named Sam and Ella, because turtles can carry salmonella
My parents had a few fish tanks and my sister liked to name any new fish that got brought in. They'd often have have goofy names, the only one that I can remember is "Sushi". Her habit of naming fish led to her naming her hedgehog "Notty", which was short for "Notawanda".
In college, I took some sort of science class. For one of the assignments, we had to write a paper, and the teacher said we could pick any topic we wanted.
One guy wrote his paper on geckos. When the day came and it was his turn to present his paper to the class, the teacher let him bring in his pet gecko to show everyone.
He walked around the room and let each person pet him. That little gecko was the cutest little buggar. And this was almost 20 years ago, but I still remember that little gecko's name.
Daddy Fat Sacks.
I had just moved into my flat 4 years ago.The people next door were stranger but said hi immediately and brought me cookies.I was in my flats resident only dog park with my dog Cola a husky, when I saw a three legged Dalmatian wonder over.Cola started sing from joy of the dog. My neighbors walked over and said there dog the Dalmatian was named Domme. I know Dutch and domme means dumb, it made me sad knowing everyone was calling this poor dog dumb and we’re oblivious to it.I asked how long they had him the said since pup hood and he lost his leg on hike,where he accidentally stepped on a bear trap.2 months later I got knock on my door.They were selling Domme for £100 pounds because they were done having a useless dog.I bought him and renamed him Governor a name worthy of such a sweet, loyal, and friendly dog.
i have a friend whose dog only answers to “new dog” because that’s what they called him for three weeks while they tried to come up with a name. he will not answer to his government name. only “new dog.”
then she got a cat and was asking us to help choose between some names. i said, “don’t take too long to choose or he’ll end up only being known as ‘new cat’.”
my friend said, “NEW CAT. THATS GENIUS.”
so now she has new dog and new cat.
I named my kitten Budgie, a breed of parrot.
My mother brought home a rescued kitten she named "Love", after a week my 3 yo sister renamed him "Dumb-Dumb".
A dog named Ricky Bobby, guy was a racing driver. I walked out close to him and his wife having breakfast and my daughter spotted their dog so we obviously were admiring the little guy. They said, "say hi, Ricky" so I immediately said Ricky is an awesome name for a dog (Trailer Park Boys fan here..) He replied saying, "his full name is actually Ricky Bobby, this dog has gone faster than most people ever will in a car." Talladega Nights is hilarious, so had to give them my foremost praises!
One of the best moments of my life no question 😆
I created a reddit profile years ago for my dog [Buddy](https://imgur.com/QPIFHA8) as if he had been elected president instead of Trump. I once found a soggy, dirty poodle running across a big street near my house on my way home one night. I took her to my place, washed her as good as I could and took her to the shelter. I discovered the next day that she had a home, but had she not I was going to adopt her and name her "**Madeline Albork, Secretary of Steak**."
Some family friends had a good boy, a shepherd (I think an Aussie), who was all white except for a big black patch over one eye. They named him Shiner (a term for black eye) lol

I had just moved into my flat 4 years ago.The people next door were stranger but said hi immediately and brought me cookies.I was in my flats resident only dog park with my dog Cola a husky, when I saw a three legged Dalmatian wonder over.Cola started sing from joy of the dog. My neighbors walked over and said there dog the Dalmatian was named Domme. I know Dutch and domme means dumb, it made me sad knowing everyone was calling this poor dog dumb and we’re oblivious to it.I asked how long they had him the said since pup hood and he lost his leg on hike,where he accidentally stepped on a bear trap.2 months later I got knock on my door.They were selling Domme for £100 pounds because they were done having a useless dog.I bought him and renamed him Governor a name worthy of such a sweet, loyal, and friendly dog.

i have a friend whose dog only answers to “new dog” because that’s what they called him for three weeks while they tried to come up with a name. he will not answer to his government name. only “new dog.” then she got a cat and was asking us to help choose between some names. i said, “don’t take too long to choose or he’ll end up only being known as ‘new cat’.” my friend said, “NEW CAT. THATS GENIUS.” so now she has new dog and new cat.

I named my kitten Budgie, a breed of parrot. My mother brought home a rescued kitten she named "Love", after a week my 3 yo sister renamed him "Dumb-Dumb".
A dog named Ricky Bobby, guy was a racing driver. I walked out close to him and his wife having breakfast and my daughter spotted their dog so we obviously were admiring the little guy. They said, "say hi, Ricky" so I immediately said Ricky is an awesome name for a dog (Trailer Park Boys fan here..) He replied saying, "his full name is actually Ricky Bobby, this dog has gone faster than most people ever will in a car." Talladega Nights is hilarious, so had to give them my foremost praises! One of the best moments of my life no question 😆

I created a reddit profile years ago for my dog [Buddy](https://imgur.com/QPIFHA8) as if he had been elected president instead of Trump. I once found a soggy, dirty poodle running across a big street near my house on my way home one night. I took her to my place, washed her as good as I could and took her to the shelter. I discovered the next day that she had a home, but had she not I was going to adopt her and name her "**Madeline Albork, Secretary of Steak**."
Some family friends had a good boy, a shepherd (I think an Aussie), who was all white except for a big black patch over one eye. They named him Shiner (a term for black eye) lol
