    "Tafuk"

    When I'm out in the park and there are loads of posh aul biddies around I start shouting "Tafuk, here boy, c'mere Tafuk, will ye c'mere Tafuk".

    I don't even have a dog.

    Once went to college with a guy called James Bond. No one could believe it when his name got called out.

    No idea if he lived in house 007 though.


    Oh to add one more, my son goes to school with a kid called doobie!!

    My dogs name is Kosmo. However, his official name on the licence is Kool Kalandra Kosmo. My little brother wanted to name him Cosmo but cos of some weird technicality with the licencing, he had to have 3 names all beginning with K. Something to do with his parents and breeding?

    One of my friends had a cat called Kevin, just always thought it was an odd name for a cat, it belongs more to a 45 year old man.

    I like when pets have people names. My dogs name is Doug. Nothing too unusual or funny about that though.
    But I used to know a guy who had a budgie called Derek. I thought that was hilarious at the time.

    Official kennel names for dogs are usually daft.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭Dartz


    I knew someone who owned a pet crow called Snowball.

    Merkel's becoming a popular name for dogs. Especially bitches.

    Moochie the cat.

    Guinness the Dog.

    Cunning Stunt was a horse.

    Haha. My cousin had a dog she called Andrew. And she'd get fùckin mad as hell if you called him Andy.
    Real snotty "Excuse me... His name is Andrew, NOT Andy!!"
    To be fair, I don't think the dog gave a fùck either way.

    I used to game pet hamsters called Raymond Owens and Ollie Murphy.

    Have a cat now with no name. She arrived as a stray cat and we didn't want to get too attached so never named her. 5 or 6 years later, she's still here. We get her attention by just saying, "Here, you" or "cat" and she normally responds.

    Are you sure it wasn't hibernating?:p

    Our dog is called Bones. People assume it's male, but it's named after the TV character (very female).

    Q What's the dog's name?
    A Same as you
    Q What do you mean same as me, you mean derek?

    In a place where I lived before there was a woman who had a little yorkshire terrrier that she called Nicholas. You could hear her calling
    after the miserable little runt from down the street.

    When I was younger I had a cat called scum, because he used spend all day dragging his bum across gravel.

    Then I had another cat I called ring licker, because well, that's what he used do all day.

    I had a cockatiel that I didn't have a name for but I taught him to say "fùck off".

    And I had a snake called percy, but it was either percy had to go or my girlfriend at the time was gone, and since percy wasn't putting out, percy was put out.

    Said girlfriend at the time is now my wife. I miss percy.

    I had an aunt who had two Westies - Scotch and Soda and two cats - Gin and Tonic.

    She liked a drink, did old auntie Mary.

    If the kids get a rabbit, it's getting called Eamonn.

    My friend has two cats, ones called Barbara and the other Sharon. Cracks me up to hear her calling them in from the garden.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 666 ✭✭✭DeltaWhite


    My friend has a female cat called Karl :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,255 ✭✭✭✭Esoteric_


    My aunt named her two cats 'Cat' and 'Cat Junior' because she was too lazy to think of names for them.

    My dog is called Lola, I think it's normal enough but other people tell me it's strange. I named her after the song by the Kinks because everyone kept calling her a him when we first got her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,364 ✭✭✭washiskin


    I have a hen my O/H calls Chasseur - I call her Chas. I also used to have 2 Drakes called Steve & Austin.

    My poor old dog passed away last week - we called him Marvin when we found him but my late Dad (who had a Drogheda accent) called him "Staavin Maavin"

    When I was around 4 or 5, on the first day in our new house in Mitchestown in Co. Cork. I heard a cry from a neighbours garden under a pile of wood. After a few hours, my neighbour and my dad unearthed a tiny grey kitten. For whatever reason, I named it "Anna". My fiancee is also called Anna. Odd one. Psychoanalyst's wet dream right there.

    After that, I called my next cat "Purrby". Subsequent generations were landed with awful names from the Care Bears and the Thundercats. Bless.

    My sister had a cat called Cippolini (the c is pronounced 'ch') when she was about 9/10 who was named after an Italian cyclist. Why, I'm not sure as she never displayed an interest in cycling before or since, probably just thought it was a cool name.

    Apparently Katy Perry has a cat called Kitty Purry which I think is great!


  • Registered Users Posts: 646 ✭✭✭mccarthy37


    I knew a girl once who had a snow white dog called Blackie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,229 ✭✭✭Sadderday


    Black Labrador pup called Boycie (from only fools and horses)


  • Registered Users Posts: 298 ✭✭FreeFallin94


    We couldn't choose whether to call our kitten Gandhi or Carrots, so we combined them and called him Gandhi-Carrots. My dad told us that it was an insult to both gandhi and carrots :L I thought it was pretty cute personally :L


  • Registered Users Posts: 60 ✭✭careful_now


    I know someone who called their cat "dog " !
