There is something unique about the funny pet names we give to our four-legged companions. They might sound insulting to those passing by, but to the pet owners, they are special. Plenty of funny animal names try to put a smile on people's faces. However, the line between cringe and funny is thin, so it's important to think about the name beforehand. The funny names for pets we create are not always as hilarious as we think.
The good thing with many hilarious pet names — we understand them quite perfectly and get a laugh out of them, while our four-legged companions don’t. Unlike with a child’s name, we can be silly when naming our pets. Some funny dog names, like Big Dog and Glitter, seem ridiculous but suit quite perfectly for a pair of big, scary dogs. For the funny part of the name to stick, you have to play into the breed of the pet, its looks, and its personality.
If you are out of hilarious names to give your pet, you don’t have to search the whole internet. User Sigma_Rho asked the veterinarians of the AskReddit community about the hilarious names of pets they've heard. Below, we have compiled a list of the funniest pet names given by other users! Upvote the ones that put a smile on your face. On the other hand, if you’ve heard a hilarious name yourself, share it in the comments below.

Rumor has it that he had a drug problem."

"Okay, not a vet, but my bf and I were walking through campus one night. We hear vicious barking nearby, followed by a stern, male voice saying 'be quiet, Biscuit!'
Just the juxtaposition of the downright feral growling and the fact that the dogs name was Biscuit had us in stitches."

"Had a Pomeranian mix named Stinkerbell. She loved to get in peoples faces and kiss. If you blew in her face when she was kissing you she would go crazy and kiss faster to the point you couldn't breath. I used to tell people if they didn't want her to kiss you just to blow in her face."

I can't think of a better way to die than death by Pomeranian kisses

"Not a vet, but my dads buddy rescued a cat from a crackhouse in his neighborhood. So his wife named the cat Crackpipe.
Whenever they took the cat to the vet, they would tell them its name was Crackel."

I have had a beagle named Beagie, a yellow lab (almost white) who my dad named Farrah Fawcett because she was the prettiest blonde on the beach, and a really great mutt named Puppy Boy. Also, a rescued 3 legged cat that I named Tripod. Someone threw out an enormous orange Tomcat in front of the house (I live on a corner about a half mile from the nearest house, so people often drop animals there). First thing I said when I walked outside was "Dammit, not another cat!" I had Dammit for about 10 years. Several years after he passed, a tabby cat showed up, so I kept with the theme and she became DC (Damn Cat). I named my iguana Gomez, from the Adams Family. Had a rabbit named Easter. Raised a baby deer until he was off the bottle because the game warden couldn't find anyone licensed that could take him at the time. I named him Buck.

My Grandpa had dogs named, Dammit and Get Off. Get Off was originally named Freeway because he was found wandering the freeway, but he'd say "Dammit, get off!" to get them off the porch steps. I can't remember what Dammit's chosen name was because I was excited to get to curse ;)

I have had pet rats named Nosewise, Little Fish (boy did that one confuse the vet) and The Heart Attack Rat.
