The fun is in the contrasts. For a straight flush, name your five identical kittens Fluffy, Yekaterina, The Concept of the Colour Mauve, Stepladder, and Meg.

Paul! Stop eating Jenny's shit!

Ok, but hear me out "Lord Chubula the Bacon Scourge.." I mean pets let you know what their name is.

Professor Waffles prefers the more dignified approach of an honorarium.

Don't know if it'd work for me. Cuz odds are, if I'm talking about taking someone shopping for a new collar, it ain't gonna be a dog or cat.
abbiistabbii
Did this with my cat for a while.

God damnit, Jennifer.

I give my pets boring human names because I think they are little people in a dog/cat/etc suit.
ExtremeAndViolentButtFun
Name them The Boss and it gets even better

Greg's been so much more placid after I got his balls removed

I had a dog named Jack. It never seemed weird.

Dog or wife is a fun game to play

And if your sister ever starts dating a Nigel, he can be referred to as “human Nigel”. Human Nigel hates it but the world wins

I have a daughter named Willow. One of my husband's friends had to move in a hurry during Covid so we took his two cats...and one of them is named Willow. So now I have two Willows. They even have matching blue eyes!

What are you doing step-cat?

"Yeah, Jonathan's almost a year now. Probably overdue to have his balls cut off."

James took a shit on the rug again last night. Stood there and didn't break eye contact with me the whole time.

Yep. Nixon keeps shitting on our carpet.

It's a fun idea; with our young dog our family tossed around "Todd" as a hilariously awkward and unexpected name. :)

I have a chicken called Grandma.

On 99 1 of the guys had this going on & they were all trying to figure out if he was talking about his wife or his dog

99!

You’d know that if you listened to Scully’s podcast!
RevengeIsIceCream
It was actually explained later though.

It's both, isn't it? He has a wife called Kelly and a dog too
allenvasher3000
Yup

When you come to visit- just don't be offended if Dave humps your leg. It just means he likes you.

I mean. All of those things could be about a kid. Like, unless you start talking about very pet specific things like tails or litter boxes just about everything could be about a kid. Stuck up a tree? Could be a kid, tried to hide in the trash? Could still be a kid. Barfed all over the floor? Still could be a kid.
mikenco
I've had a cat called 'Dave'. Dog called 'Jack'. Dog called 'Cal'. Budgie called 'Pig'. Rat called 'Bear'. to name a few... Normal names are normal.
Feralkyn
A dog called "Jack" is pretty cool tbf. Not that the rest aren't!
drunkninjasmurf
Tell that to human Nigel.

I prefer adverbs. Think of how confused your neighbors will be when they hear crashing and skittering and then you start shouting "Almost!"
Idesperatelywantadoggo
My mate just told me that he grew up next doors to a dog named “Oi” in the Uk, which is so brilliant because if the dog ran in to the street or something the owner would yell “Oi!!” and instantly get everyone’s attention!

In the early 90s my upstairs neighbour had a small dog named napkin, poor napkin rarely went for walks and was left on the balcony to use the bathroom then his human would throw the 💩over the balcony they lived above us less then a year.

Prepositions are good too. "Where! Here Where! WHERE!"
KrondorMocker
THERE! Here There!

In Mongolia, my host family had a dog that I misunderstood the name of. I think it was a goddess’ name, but I heard Khen Bay (translates to “who is it?”) which got me weird looks when I was yelling this down the street.
andydicktracymorganfairchild
"Come Where!"
Crillol
Oh, wherever you'd like. *eyebrow wiggle*
WitPit
I prefer who: ‘Who is a good boy? Who is a good boy!’

It also upsets Human Nigel when your cat is named Nigel.

Really folks, what doesn't?

I had a guinea pig named Sprinter Van. She was the best lil fuzzy potato car ever. She even looked like one being all white with a black window. I miss her.

Meet Hacksaw. I also have cats. They're Mike, Morgan, Willow, and Sock. Collectively, we call them "Mike, Morgan, and the 4Warn Storm Team." Fellow Okies will get it.

My son and daughter are called Rampage and Adria respectively, it always sparks weird looks and its fun.

I recall a redditor who had a cat named Mailbox
Rodville
We have one named Nutmeg. The shelter named him and we were going to change it until someone called nut nut and now he's called nut nut.

It took me a while...

Perl. Python. Java. And Bash. Are all fine pet names. Ruby on rails, not so much.

And then there's Basic.

"Rust" would be a great name for an orange cat!

You a guy with the three-legged dog he called tripod

My mom’s friend had a lot of cats. She named all the black ones after daemons. And especially loved inviting the missionaries in to meet Satan

When I was young, we had a Westie named Imp. When I was older, we had a Border Collie mix named Demon.

I had a cat named Lucifer whenever he got cranky his ears curled into a horn like shape
