Unusual pet names

Johro

''Aw, what a lovely dog.. What's his name?''
''Blacksmith.''
''Blacksmith? That's an unusual name.. Why did you call him Blacksmith?''
''Coz every time I kick him in the nuts, he makes a bolt for the door.''

My cat is called Kitty Taylor. We got her on the day Katie won the gold last year. Always turns heads in the vet when he walks out and says "Kitty Taylor Keane"? Sounds like I'm collecting a very posh child.

Ive a mate now living in the states, who named their Alaskan Malamute 'Madra'. Genius. Bet the yanks think its cool.

I'm more of a 'human name' person. Our Husky is named Hugo. People keep calling him Hugo Boss, and refer to my (estate) car as the Hugo Bus. It's not the least bit annoying...

I haven't encountered anything non-chocolate bar/workwear related with the same name yet.

A friend of mine once said that if he ever bought a race horse he'd call it 'whoever wins' so he could go into a bookies and put 20quid on 'whoever wins'.

Id name it "My Face" just so you could go to the races and hear people shouting "come on my face!!!!"

My sister named our last cat 'Thyona'. It was some obscure theatrical reference, which I'm guessing only gin dribbling, theatre buffs would get. So, I just took to calling the cat 'Puddin' or 'Pud'.

Weathering

A dog called CurbCrawler. Got awkward whenever we'd lose her

That's weird, I had a mate that had a dog called "dirty fúcking knacker"

He actually used to say "I'll be out later, I have to bring this dirty fúcking knacker for a walk"

I could never understand why he got a dog? He used to say the dogs name with a huge amount of anger, although I never witnessed him hurting it.

true

saw someone with a really ugly dog they called " Cowen". It looked like our taoiseach at the time., but did not drink 15 pints a day.

Saw a cat named PAUL NEWMAN at the adoption centre when we went to adopt me old cat. Mad name so it was.

Acciaccatura

My mam named our cat Cheeky, after the cat she had when she was younger. Then I named our other cat Mosaí (Mossy) from the Irish book I had in third class. Recently a young black and white cat has sort of adopted us, and I told Colm! I'd name it after Mattias Claus Von Steuben, a Facebook character who anyone following Colm Vs. The Sraith Pictiúirí will know of. But I figured Meowttias Claws Von Kitten would suit it better :P

Also, my brother has a guinea pig called Porsche.

Mysteriouschic

My cats name at the rescue place we got her was "Popster" we changed it to "Poppy" instead.

Poor dog indeed, he was a cat.... no wonder he was crap at fetching stuff.

murria

My friend called her golden lab Lily without thinking that her next door neighbour is also called Lily. In the early days whenever she was calling the dog in, the neighbour would pop her head over the fence and say "are you looking for me Siobhan?"
