My 3 dogs have "people" names. Sadie, Maggie and Grant. My childhood cat was Smokey and yes, she was gray. My brother's cat was Midnight and she was black. We got them as kittens we my brother and I were little so creativity was not our forte.

Had an Australian Shepherd named Bob Barker. There is a famous TV game show celebrity with that name. Bob got his name because the first night he spent with us was out in the garage & he was fitfully barking. Our bedroom wall & garage wall are joined. My husband said Barker, Bob Barker. We ended up bringing him in the house & putting him in a box with a stuffed furry toy dog, & ticking clock to sleep with.

Only my fish and birds have ever had funny names. My dogs were Lady (the movie) and Tiffany (after the pop singer). Not very imaginative, but I was a kid.

My male finches were Arnold and Danny (they were "twins"). Arnold's mate was Solo, because she was the only survivor from her brood. I think Danny's girl was Danielle. Their original offspring were Eeeny, Meenie, Miney and Moe.

Some of my goldfish were Hoover and Eureka cuz they always kept the bottom of the tank clean for me. Another goldfish was Booger, cuz he was a BIG ol' booger I picked myself. Then there was Nugget... My mollies were Millie molly and Dolly molly. Most of my bettas were greek letters: Alpha, Delta, Gamma... My angelfish was Gabriel (later named Gabrielle after a few eggs appeared)

Working at the vet clinic I saw all sorts of weird names: Dammit, Deogee (D.O.G.), Ciate (C.A.T.), Chicken Breast, Catpoo...OMG the list goes on...

I didn't name Toby or Havoc. Honestly, Toby is the one who's a menace. Havoc is a sweetie-pie

Growing up we had so many animals I can't even think of all of them right now. But I will tell you the ones that stick in my memory.
We had a white pony named Flea-Bitten. She had that name when we got her. She had small black spots on her, so I guess that's where it came from. We just called her Flea.
We had a litter of cats and named one DC (Dumb Cat). Can't remember why we named him that. But he turned out to be the smartest one. Got hit by a car and lived.
We found two GSD's years ago and named them Boo and Bigfoote. Boo was named because he was a scaredy-cat dog. And Bigfoote was because he had huge feet. We spelled it like a popluar monster truck at the time.

That's enough for now.

At the shelter I volunteer with they come up with some of the strangest names. They usually stick to a theme with the group as it comes in together. Some of them you can't pronounce or don't even want to call the animal. I was luck with Taggart. I really liked his name, that's why I kept it.

I've always hated the over obvious names. I knew a liver chestnut coloured horse named Liver.

This is interesting. I remember interning at my veterinary hospital, there were some pretty odd names. I'm trying to think of one I remember was so odd.... brain fart hehe

I've always named my pets human names... I don't know. I just go onto baby name or pet name websites and look until I find one that fits.
I think my favorite name I've named my pets was "Sugarbabie"... my white and tan guinea pig.
Another I like is "Painted Dreamer" that we named my little pony. We rehomed her a little over a year ago though to someone who had lots of time for her.

it's always funny when people let thier kids name their pet. I recall a male cat named "Angelica" because the kids insisted on it, LOL. There was a dalmation puppy named "Two Tom" cuz the kids honestly thought that was the name of one in the movie (it was actually TwoTone)

I almost forgot about the parakeet I had named "Boid"

At the boarding kennel where I work PT we have a regular client. He is an engineer, and his cat's name is Benzene.

There was a lively and irrepressible orangie named Wheels, too! If I think of any others, I'll post them here.

My sister swore that she talked to a guy years ago who named his two cats "Hey You" and "Who Me".

[AdoreMyDogs]

The best and most fitting name I've ever heard for a pet was an adorable little long hair doxy named "Link". I loved, loved, loved that name. I don't plan on ever having a Doxy, but if I did, he/she would be named Link.

Kersey was actually named "Kersee" by her foster parents before I adopted her. She was named after Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the Olympian, due to her amazing athletic skill of leaping effortlessly over a chain-link fence w/ a single bound. I loved the name Kersee but wanted to make it my own, so I changed the spelling. Boone was named after the super hot guy in the show "Lost". I liked the name (and the man playing Boone was SO good looking) I decided to name my puppy Boone. Graham (my RB Aussie mix boy) was named after the cereal Golden Grahams, because he was about the same color as Golden Grahams, and at the time, it was my favorite cereal hehe.
