There’s a “discipline” called halter, and many of the horses are genetic atrocities to begin with. They’ve been bred to the point of uselessness.

When naming quarter horses, many breeders like to create a registered name that incorporates the parents’ names and bloodlines. So, somebody bred together the stallion Kid’s Classic Style and the mare Lookin’ Touchable. The best name that the breeders could come up with for the foal?

KidsLookinTouchable.

Yeah. That’s the best they could come up with.

She’s not named after the show or the mountains really, but rather after the Ozark Howler, which is some kind of devil cat/bear cryptid thing in those mountains that screams a lot. My cat likes to yowl when we’re not giving her attention, so I thought it fit.

(Obligatory "not a vet", but...)

One time I was taking my dog to the vet for a check-up cause she had an ear infection. While waiting in the lobby, an older woman comes in with a dachshund in her arms and lets him sit on the counter. (This isn't a problem for the staff, as they love dogs, especially small dogs).

The receptionist asks for the woman's name, reason for visit, then finally asks what the dog's name was. "Dachshund". The receptionist says "Oh, I know his breed, but what is his name?".

Older woman looks her dead in the eye and in a slightly quieter voice she says "Dachshund" again. The receptionist looked confused for a second and the room was dead silent, so when the amount of laughter enraged it was hard not to as well.

Receptionist asks the woman why she named her Dachshund, "Dachshund", and the woman was quiet for a minute before replying: "...He likes it". His little tail was wagging the entire time.

30 Pet Names That Members Of This Online Community Have Encountered And Found The Absolute Worst Obligatory “not a vet” disclaimer, but story at a vet’s. My roommate had a dog called Taquito and we once had to go to the emergency vet at night because it was having trouble breathing.

The dog goes in with the vet and maybe half an hour later a vet’s assistant comes out, goes straight for the latino looking couple at the other end of the waiting room and just asks them “taquito?” They were looking sooo confused and slightly offended, especially since the assistant kept repeating it when they didn’t answer.

My roommate was slow on the uptake with it being the middle of the night and just being frozen on the spot by the awkwardness of the moment, but she finally spoke up and said “Taquito is my dog”. No one looked at each other for the remaining time we were there.

Edit: Thank you for the awards and for sharing your similar stories! It makes up a little for still cringing about that moment 10 years later.

Edit 2: A bit more info about Taquito. He was a rescue and my roommate just kept his name because I guess it just fit. He was fine on that night, just a case of kennel cough that went away on its own. He went on to live a full life of being the worst dog ever and passed away of old age.

30 Pet Names That Members Of This Online Community Have Encountered And Found The Absolute Worst Ok not a vet but my dogs name is needles.

Here’s the story:

I’m a body piercer it’s pretty common for people in my industry to name an animal needles. I never thought twice about the name.

Me and needles started cohabitation when I was living and working in small towns. The folks in small towns tend to treat folks that work in tattoo shops as local celebrities and everyone knows you and all your business. So no one questioned the name.

10 years later I’m in one of the 3 biggest cities in the US.

I never questioned the name of my dog until my partner, their kid, and I were in a store making plans and I, a bit louder than I anticipated said “ can we run home and grab needles b4 we go”

Everyone looked at us horrified. I did not understand why.

Now my partner makes fun of me for being the “homeless looking crack head screaming ‘come here needles’ when playing w my dog”

Also now when someone asks the name of my dog I tell them and follow with “I’m a piercer not a junky”

Also, he gets very very excited whenever anyone tells him he ‘has fat butt disease’ (The Office). He pushes you around with his big butt asking for scratches. Vets office staff seemed very pleased with this information. “We keep calling his name but he doesn’t get excited at all???” “Just tell him he has fat butt disease.”

Experience tells me that once you name a chicken, the dynamic between you changes and makes it much harder to eat them. For me, it's impossible.

My dad adopted a stray cat who wandered into his yard once. The first time he saw the cat (not much past kitten stage), his response was, "What a little s**t."

"Little S**t" became the cat's name on the vet paperwork. The sad part was that she got her leg caught in a door once, and ended up having it amputated. Which led to a really awkward conversation in grade school, before I was old enough to know better, when I told my teacher that "My dad has a cat with three legs, and her name is Little S**t!"

My friend had a cat she named "Shoo shoo". It was a stray and she'd try to shoo it away, but it wouldn't leave. So, obviously she adopted him.

After many years of working as sports journalist and trivia game author and host in Ukraine I joined Bored Panda as a content creator. I do love writing stories and I sincerely believe - there's no dull plots at all. Like a great Italian composer Joaquino Rossini once told: "Give me a police protocol - and I'll make an opera out of it!"

I was a newlywed when I met a sickly street cat. Got him to a vet brought him home. All was good. Six months later had to bring him to a specialist. In waiting room I hear “Goblin Weiner” called out loud. Every person started laughing including me. Whoops 😅 Edit- married last name is Weiner. Named cat Goblin Weiner by accident.

My dog's name is Sophie. Not so bad, but when I adopted her, I had no idea we'd move to a country where that's one of top three names for girls. My daughter has had friends and a teacher named Sophie and yes, she did tell them our dog has the same name. We also have cats named Mai and Tai, because they were found and brought to us on a Saturday night when we were getting ready to go out, so they're named after a cocktail I missed out on. I don't actually drink Mai Tais, but it sounded better than Tequila and Sunrise.

I have a cat named Booger. I know it sounds stupid, but it's because he has a spot on his nose that looks like he has a little booger hanging from his nose. Most of the time we call him Mr. Boogs or Mr. Boogies because Booger is not the most flattering name lol.

We've four children, who back then, were 12, 10, 6 and 4. We got them their first pet, rabbit. They couldn't settle on a name, (husband wanted to choose one too). She wound up being named Cassie Panda Lulu Rainbow Mutch. A few years later we get another female rabbit and only the youngest was interested in naming her, this girl was named Bob.

Used to be a vet tech.. There was a guy who adopted an ex backyard breeder Lab and named her 6-pack.... My Uncle had a cat named Little Sh*t.. the vet refused to call him that and called him LS. I knew a DeoJee (pronounced d.o.g.) and the vet I worked for adopted a cat for the practice named Furbahl. There were a lot more funny ones...people can be weird about naming their pets.

My boy is Sir Samuel Gromit My two previous dogs were named Wallace and Max by the breeder so we just kept them as such and when I got him I wanted to commemorate both of them My friend chose Sam from the games Sam and Max and Gromit for obvious reasons. Sir came from the fact that I just randomly started saying sir to him every time he did something the day we were bringing him home like climbing into my shirt or licking in my nose

My youngest brother was a huge Blue's Clues fan when he was like 3-4. We got a blue heeler, so he would tell people that his name was Steve and "his" dog was Blue... so it stuck. (My brother's name is most certainly not Steve, either lol) As far as our cats, we had "Mr Rhett Butler Kitty Curtis" and every single person that met him wanted to steal him from me. He was definitely a little ladies man. We currently have Baby Kitty (Witchy), her younger sister Baby (Drogon, aka Toothless, because she's solid black with green eyes), twin boys Fujin and Raijin, the boys' mom HIH (her imperial highness) Queen Tenchi Mama, and my husband's cat, Misty. She's the only one with a "normal" name lol.

I have 5 Jack Russell's that are my world. Their names are Toby, Charlie, Lovee, Mila and Lovees baby, Lucky (he was the only survivor out of her litter). Charlie will "talk" to you, Toby is "the gentleman" but also "the destroyer of everything you love" (also, a*****e), lovee is sweet as hell and soft as a teddy bear, Mila is shy and bosses Charlie around but is a sweetheart as well (also very set in her ways- bedtime is 730 sharp and she lets you know it!!). Lucky is only 3 weeks old now, so we don't know his personality just yet, but he's a cutie!!!

i have always given my dogs 'human' names. maybe it's because it feels more personal? and, they usually have middle names though that part may be related to a trait of theirs. such as my dobermans maxwell milktoast as he was a ninny; trixie delite, after a character in paper moon who had 'good bone structure'; helga monster because she was huge. currently there is another doberman, ruby rose who is a red dobe and a boxer, greta von puckett

Best one I've seen is "Merkin". If you don't know a merkin is a wig for the genitals or genital hair. I was at PetSmart and they always write the names of the pets that are being seen that day on the Welcome Board and when I was getting heartworm meds it said Welcome Merkin. The vet tech couldn't figure out why I thought it was funny until I explained what a merkin was...lol

We get comments on our cat names sometimes. The oldest is a Norwegian Forest Cat, so I went with a Norse Gods theme as the breed was believed to pull Freya's chariot and called her Skadi, as it fitter her temprament and colours. Soon after I got a Maine C**n who got called Freyja because she's very much a home-body. A few years later my partner and I adopted a stray cat called Delilah, but wanting to keep on the name theme we called her Dafn to honour her original name and her stormy start to life.
