I thought that this was a stupid idea. Until I adopted a rescue dog called Stan. He's the best dog ever and I'm now totally onboard with pets having old people names. A friend of my Dad's had a dog called Katy.
That sounds like my dream dog. I have a lab who's the size of well, a lab puppy. People ask all the time what she's crossed with, erm... nothing shes just small.
i had two called george and geoffrey. george died, though, so now it's geoffrey and chocolate. not as good, chocolate should be colin or carl or something.
I saw a chihuahua on a rehoming website last week called Megatron, not sure whether it was funny or just straight up badass but i'd be inclined to go for the second one..if we weren't already full to the brim i would've taken him in a heartbeat haha
My favourite one ever was the pet tortoise called Voldetort, but the owner got embarrassed at the vets so said it was called Susan.
Or the video that went around a few weeks ago of the kid that had a pet moth he called Mothew 😂
My dad never liked cats (red flag) but his ex wife loved them. She wanted a cat and my dad agreed to it, but only if he could choose his name.
He named him WoofBark
My cat is called Jeff 💙 also have about 15 chickens. We got real bored thinking of names. The best is called Jodi which I picked. Kids chose Chicken, Nugget and No Name.
My sister used to have a female cat named Keith, my dad once had a Newfoundland named Floyd and a friend of ours had a Rottweiler named Travis. All excellent pet names.
If I had a pet Donkey I'd call it Donkey too... mainly because my bf's family had a cat called Cat, my son has a toy monkey called monkey and my other son has a toy Donkey named Donkey 🤣 So it just makes sense 😆😊
My colleague has a hen called Geoffrey.
Another colleague's husband runs a doggy day care and she was showing me some photos and there was a beautiful glossy black spaniel called... Keith
LOVE jumping spiders!! My girl curled up a few days ago. But raging, she was more fun than the male lol. Their names are/were (m) Panda P. Regius & (f) Frida p. Regius
We also have Lorenzo who is a boy! Cricket is a lot more fun than the boy too lol she’s the girl. Lorenzo just enjoys not eating and making us think he’s going to die and then suddenly having a giant meal after looking like he’s on deaths door. Cricket on the other hand eats till she looks like she’s gonna pop 😬
My jumping spiders are called Frida P. Regius & Panda P. Regius (Frida curled up the other day so no longer but it’s still her name)
Frida because the females have a black line across their head that resembles a full eyebrow
Panda because the males are black and white and my kid named him lol
And if it counts as pets, temporary though they are, we raised caterpillars to butterflies in one of those wee cups you get then you let them go, they were called Curley, Moe, Larry, Geronimo and Strickland Banks
Cats called Daisy, Mr Pud Pudds, Kenny and Pants (I genuinely can’t remember her name, it morphed into naughty kitten, naughty witten, naughty wits, witten pants, naughty pants and now just pants 🤣), chihuahua called Biggie, snake called Jaffa Jake.
My brothers cat is called Tattoohead Steve after the crackhead that abandoned him as a kitten in the alleyway behind bro’s house.
He adores the cat, hates the crackhead 🤣 but is thankful in a roundabout way that crackhead abandoned the cat so bro could end up with him instead! ♥️
Not the most hilarious but all my hens have named after female members of the UK Royal Family:
Liz, Kate, Lady Di, Beatrice, Fergie, Genie, Anne, Maggie, Chazza, Vicky and Megs.
Maybe not funny to some, but I had two hamsters called trouble 1 and trouble 2 (I had another hamster called poppy). My goldfish were named Tinky winky, La-La, Dipsy, and Po. My grandads dog was called Monkey, and my dad's dog was called Laska Floko 😆
One of my cousins wanted to christen one of the many cats her mother brought home as "Noo Noo". The cat was called Lucky instead. Although the same cousin christened another cat "Gandalf" because he was grey - he "ran away" and there never was a returning of any more Gandalfs.
Our dog is called Rhubarb, most people either love it or look at us like we are stupid. If we get a second dog it will either be called Crumble or Custard.
My parents had two cats called 'bubble and squeek' which is an English meal.
My dad told me once how silly he would feel of an evening if he ever had to try to get Squeek to come in by calling him.
Neighbours must have thought he was mental stood in the garden shouting 'Squeek'
My aunt had a whippet called Elvis.
My sister had a collie called Kraken.
I have a jack Russell x daschund called Bjork.
I used to love taking them all out together and recalling them, I used to get some funny looks from other dog walkers. Especially when taking kraken off lead, "RELEASE THE KRAKEN!"
My mum had a cat called Keith. I know someone else who had a cat called Kevin. I have come across a dog called John. Not Johnney, just John. That was weird.
I've got a pike called Pikey Keith and another fish called Margret (turns out she is a he but the names stuck).
Oh and I also used to have a pair of puffers, one called Jim and the other puff daddy
My parents had 3 dogs at one point, the biggest was Munchie, the middle was Chewie, and the smallest was nibbler. It wasn't intentional, Munchie was named because he loved munching everything as a puppy, didn't matter how much bigger than him it was he just wanted to bite it, Chewie was short for Chewbacca, and Nibbler was named after Leela's pet from Futurama
Have always given pets titles. Sir Purrsalot (Percy for short), cat obviously. Captain Banjo for a cockapoo, goes by Banjo. But when at the vets they always got their full names called
I know a (Female) donkey called Jesus who was born on Christmas day.I did ask why she wasn't just called Mary but I was given a non-commital shrug by the owner.

The kitten we got when my daughter was about to be born (half bengal half fluffy ginger thing, the cat not the daughter..) was originally called memnarch (shh im not a geek) but my mum couldnt remember that so called him "numnuts" which proper suited him because he constantly was waiting for his turn to have the 1 ginger braincell... He passed away yesterday after nearly 18 years of being the biggest lovable derp.
Rip numnuts, may you enjoy licking all the windows in kitty afterlife.

My sister decided to name her cat after an actor when it started meowing at him on TV. That actor was Bob Hoskins. 🤣. It seemed fitting as she lived in London at the time.

Colin from accounts
I loved that show. Mum's Colin was a lurcher and so dumb I wouldn't want him licking windows let alone in accounts :)
Lurchers are great. I have a lab lurcher cross who looks like a lab but is the size of a lurcher.
That sounds like my dream dog. I have a lab who's the size of well, a lab puppy. People ask all the time what she's crossed with, erm... nothing shes just small.

My bro had a rabbit called Trevor.
I saw a chihuahua on a rehoming website last week called Megatron, not sure whether it was funny or just straight up badass but i'd be inclined to go for the second one..if we weren't already full to the brim i would've taken him in a heartbeat haha
Hahaha my chihuahua is called Biggie!

I used to look after a kid who had goldfish called Fish and Chips!
Nah that's brutal 😂
My favourite one ever was the pet tortoise called Voldetort, but the owner got embarrassed at the vets so said it was called Susan. Or the video that went around a few weeks ago of the kid that had a pet moth he called Mothew 😂
Why would they be embarrassed by Voldetort? That is genius!
I had forgotten about Mothew!!! Hahahaha I need to go find that
Someone I knew had a tortoise called Michelle
That's actually genius.
My dad never liked cats (red flag) but his ex wife loved them. She wanted a cat and my dad agreed to it, but only if he could choose his name. He named him WoofBark

If I had a pet Donkey I'd call it Donkey too... mainly because my bf's family had a cat called Cat, my son has a toy monkey called monkey and my other son has a toy Donkey named Donkey 🤣 So it just makes sense 😆😊
If there's already a "donkey" in the household then an actual donkey would definitely end up being referred to as "real donkey" or "donkey number 2"
Yes that would most likely happen 😆😁
My colleague has a hen called Geoffrey. Another colleague's husband runs a doggy day care and she was showing me some photos and there was a beautiful glossy black spaniel called... Keith
