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.

So I said, “Oh. Well, he’s really cute!” The guy sets the coffee he was drinking down, turns to me in disgust and says, “She’s a GIRL!”

"Not a vet, but if any of the ladies from our vet place were here, they'd probably tell the story of me bringing in my sister's cat to be spayed. And I had to look them in the eyes and tell them this tiny, buzzing calico girl was named 'Batman.'

As the lady behind the counter put it, 'We've had a couple other pets named Batman. None of them were girls, though.'

As to why her name was Batman, my sister, who was in her 30's at the time, just insisted repeatedly that 'Batman is a cool name for a girl.'"

"Am a tech. Once had a olive yellow lab named Dawg at some point. Last week we had this really small yet chuncky chihuahua named Walnut who couldn't keep her tongue in her mouth. There was a dog I was instructed to not even go near as he's extremely aggressive and needs to be calm for his groom. His name is Hayden so I'm expecting some giant GSD or something. No. It was a small all brown, ancient cocker spaniel."

"When I was a little kid I had a cat named BC. My mom told me that it was short for 'Baby Cat', named after me.

Years later I found out he was originally named 'Bastard Cat', by my dad."

I had a little orange kitten named Fat Bastard. He weighed a whole pound at 3 weeks old. His single braincell got him into trouble that I couldn’t get him out of, bless his heart and rest his soul.

That’s actually the name of a cat from the Mortal Instruments series!

I'm trying so hard not to laugh at that, because one day it might not be so funny

Oh god, this reminds me of my ex's naming conventions. He looks at whatever is on his desk and names game characters that. He wanted to name our kitten "Vicks" (VapoRub) and he used to call my Belgian Malinois (who was named Fenring) "Squats" for some reason.

"My dad's a vet. We've had a lot of cats named Hitler and Adolf and Auschwitz (from a Jewish couple), but the funniest has to be a class pet rabbit from a third grade teacher that the class named Milton Abernathy. I have NO idea why that was chosen, but it makes me giggle whenever I hear it. Runner up is a golden retriever named Chad."

My current orange tabby is named His Royal Fuzziness, Samson Chester Marmalade Nimitz. He's a major character! If I'm in the kitchen doing ANYTHING, his favorite thing to do is a somersaulting flop onto the top of my feet.

I rescued and rushed an injured cat to a vet once. Poor thing lost its eye but the vet took care of the cat and got it back to health. One of the techs adopted him and named him Winky

"NAV, but when I was growing up we had 20-30 cats at any given time. My brother was pretty abusive towards them (it was pretty traumatizing living the way we did, so please be forgiving ).

Anyhow, we had wood floors and my bro would pile kittens up in front of the wall, take another kitten and slide them into the kitten pile and call it 'cat bowling'. Most cats would run away after being used as a bowling ball, but this one would run back to my brother and wait to be used as a ball again.

I named him Stupid. Stupid was a sweet cat. He would endure anything for attention. He also drooled... a lot.

One time my brother put rubber bands around his legs because he thought it was funny to see him bounce around and walk funny. Brother got bored of the game, Stupid ran off. He chewed through his leg to get the rubber band off and we had to get the leg amputated.

After the amputation I became protective and Stupid became the only cat allowed in my room. One night I was petting Stupid and then stopped because I was drifting off to sleep. Stupid kept nudging me and I kept pushing him away. Then Stupid bit my nose and wouldn't let go.

I jumped up screaming trying to shake him off. He wouldn't budge so I was bloody and screaming with a three-legged drooling cat named Stupid hanging from my nose."
