My Aunt adopted a 3 legged cat in the nineties. He had been brought in to the shelter after he had been knocked down by a car. My cousin insisted on calling him Chumba Wumba after the pop group who was around at the time had a hit with the song "I Get Knocked Down But I Get Up Again. ".

My boyfriend and I know a tiny black dog at the park we go to who wears bow-ties and answers to the name Dean Martin.

Dachshund named Stinkweasel. Leachie gecko named Butchy McBitchtits. Female dog called Reggie. Snake called A Boa Named Sue.

I adopted a very furry male cat that looked like a girl. The rescue center even had him named Mia. I knew I had to pick a manly name but Spike would just not cut it. So now he is Fluff Daddy. My wife nixed Flea Didy Fluff-Dadd...796360.jpg

My GF and I adopted a cat years ago, and named him Officer Friendly (he was very friendly, and had a black & white outfit, not unlike a police car). He had been to the vet before, and had his name recorded there. On a subsequent trip he was in a grouchy mood and at check-in she said he was being "officer surly" today. Not long after, they called "OFFICER SURLY!" The receptionist had actually changed the name in their computer system.

Lindon B. Johnson owned two beagles named "Him" and "Her".

One of my cats is named Clawed Meownet

My pet names are pretty unique, My ferret who is a tiny little thing is named Sir Gregor Clegane, My dog is Named Shiva (after the hindu goddess of distruction, unfortunately she lives up to her name sake.), my Crawfish named Ebirah (after the giant lobster in Godzilla vs the Sea Monster) and my favorite, my fat frog named Agustus Glop

When I was 11 I named our then-kittens Butter and Baguette. My family isn't letting me name pets anymore.

Reminds me of the cat from tumblr, Yardstick, who has only 3 feet. Love him so much. I have a female cat named Ashlyn, but we call her Satan. She’s, quite frankly, an evil little s**t.

A friend has a kitten called The Great Catsby. My literary heart melts every time...

We had a cat named Abby....Abby Normal. :)

I named my Pomeranian Scarlett because although she was a very pale blonde puppy, her parents were the color of Irish Setters. I thought she'd darken later. 4 years later she's still blonde. Turns out her mom had an affair with a blonde Pom. Don't worry, I told Scarlett the shame was not hers.

Went through a period of owning unusual pets. Blossom- the Tarantula and Daisy - the Boa Constrictor

When I was a kid my mom had a friend with a pet Boa Constrictor named Sneakers. I have a friend with a pit bull named Fluffy. But now as a someone who works in the veterinary field my favorite names were a Persian cat named Cyrus P Fluff Daddy and a family with 2 cats 1 named Mac, 1 named Tosh which I didn't get until the receptionist called their name out loud together.

We had a tabby cat called Purrelli, and a black cat called Ducati

I have quite the menagerie, but my best names are Humphrey the 3-footed turtle, and Mildred the albino ex-labrat.

Me and my partner love the idea of big dogs with small names and small dogs with big names our first one is going to be ODIN!!!... the corgi xD

My dog is Argus, like Argus Filch from Harry Potter and I used to own a hissing cockroach, named Akaril Macaripolski Atanasov Madagascarski. It makes a little more sense in Bulgarian... or maybe not.

Hahaha, those look normal to me as one of my budgie name is Cantaloupe :D

I had two cats, poco and loco

I've come across some great ones. There was a bonded pair of Pekingeses at a shelter that I volunteered at named Muscles and Capone. My mom's dog's name is Farrah. We picked her up out of a busy street called Farrow Rd where she was about to be hit by a car. Coincidentally it was the same day that they unveiled Farrah Fawcett's bathing suit in the Smithsonian. Plus she's kinda prissy (miniature poodle), so it suits her. My cat's name is Beatsie. My ex named him after a Beastie Boys song where Biz Markie sounds like he calls them the Beatsie Boys. Very few people at the vet actually get his name right.

I once had a cute little puppy and his sister we were going to adopt. I kept seeing a huge mouth on the male so I named him JAWS. His mouth! LOL They were little shih tzu's. We named the female CJ. Short for Calamity Jane. A little boy once asked her name and after we told him he thought we'd named her CUJO! lol I wish we'd have thought of it! lol

My cat's name is Aiedius, the beauty of Troubadour... we did not name him.

I named my cat Twinkleberry but he goes by Twinkie :) paper-shre...873b85.jpg

Best dog name was Dammit. Kids told dad to name him that because he was always yelling damnit get in here! Damnit get off that!Damnit let's go! He came walking down during my friends outdoor wedding at her parents' ranch. Her dad hollered at him, it was funny!!

My kids named a chick Caroline. Caroline grew into a majestic rooster but he knew his name, so we just changed the spelling to Karolion.

My cat is named Suri (souris), aka Mouse, in French. Bc he looks like a mouse. XD and gets on his legs like a meerkat (suricat in French)

My cat is not a pedigree although she looks like a white Persian, she was a stray that I've adopted, so I gave her a full title: Her Royal Marshmallow Duchess Violet of Bebbanburg. Violet to her subjects.

My current cat is Mocha, but I have had some strange cat names, like Purplesaurus (after the kool-aid) a huge a*s cat named Kitten and one named little S**t to name a few,

I had a flame point Himalayan we named Prince Fluffernutter the Marshmallow king.we called him Fluffernutter. We now have a grey Main c**n named A-Paw-llo.

My nephew had a kitty that would jump straight in the air frequently. Named him Cocomo Joe SureHopsALot.

A pitbull at the dog shelter I used to collaborate with: Marlon Brandon
