Unusual, domestic animals' names

I met the tiniest little dog in our high street on a cold day several years ago. He was crying because he wanted to be picked up but his owner’s daughter was under instruction to make him walk as he wanted to be carried everywhere. We chatted for a while and I was tempted to stick him down the front of my coat to warm him up. He was a minute scruffy grey thing with boot button eyes and was wearing a blue jumper. On enquiring I discovered his name was Gnasher! 😂

As a child we had 2 cats - Whiskey and Soda. A dog called Souxie-Q and mum had a horse called Sergeant Pepper.

Our dog is Merlin as I'm a witch 🧙‍♀️

Our dog is Dylan (as in Bob). My daughter’s Cocker Spaniel is Dudley and her Cockerpoo is Maverick! Many years ago my son had 2 cats, a brother & sister, called Doris & Dennis. He now has 2 Cockerpoos called Rocco & Lunar. My neighbour has a French Bulldog called Pee (🤷🏻‍♀️). Her Chocolate Lab was Trevor. In the past we’ve had cats called Dusty, Katie, Homer, Scooby. If I had another female pet she would be called Flo or Lottie - undecided about a male. 😊

Chris Packham use to have two adorable poodles called Itchy and Scratchy.

At the vet's they always come out and call the pet's name. People's pets were called Maisie, Archie, Bella etc. Then came "Sweep". The owner stood up blushing, and said to the waiting owners apologetically "My children named him."

Sparklefizz that man should have talked to my husband first 🤣

We've since had two rescue dogs.

Casper who was a dream and even friends who didn't like dogs loved him. He liked nothing better than coming out on excursions with all the minded children.
He lived till he was 18 and sadly developed canine dementia.

Our current rescue is Alfie who was thoroughly spoilt by his previous older lady owner. She was going into a care home as she had dementia so that struck a chord with us.
Alfie is 13 next month and the loudest Jack Russell ever 🐕

A friend had a spaniel called Daniel and my neighbour has a dog called Frank!

My uncle, who ran a farm in rural Ireland, had a sheepdog called Reggie Perrin.

I've had many cats in my life and these are a few of their names
Clawde
Spider...my Egyptian Mau because he looked like one
Tequila....my tiny siamese
Bumbo....was originally Columbus but is now Ted Bumbo because he's a small serial killer
Z..who, when we want to the vet's they called him Zee instead of Z until I told them he wasn't American
In addition to the aforementioned Bumbo we currently have Vincent, Hugo and Kofi and Violet the dog who thinks she's a cat

Photos please. Heard it is rare for a ginger 🐱 to be a girl

My brother had a cat called Rover 🙃

My GD called her cat 'Catmandu' (Nepal capital Khatmandu)!
My rescues have been Marmaduke - big fluffy ginger boy), Melody, Maggie, Minstrel, Milly, Maddie and current ones Malibu, Mustard (obviously ginger) and Memphis - a boy who is so pretty he should have been a girl!!

😁
That's how we used to pronounce his name when we were that age too (and yes, we did know how to pronounce it properly).

My sister had a beautiful tortoiseshell cat called Trifle. She was pale beige almost pink, white and grey.

I once worked with someone whose cats were called Treacle & Syrup.

Dinsdale! That reminded me of Dinsdale Landen, an actor whom I saw at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Twelfth Night, when I was a teenager. He seemed very glamorous!

We used to have a vicious gander who would sneak up behind you and savage your legs. We called him Hitler.

My friend had a goat called Dinsdale. It suited him.
