    Our rescue dog is named “Molly Woggles, Where’s your goggles?” I’m not sure why. The kids came up with it.

  2. My late Alaskan Malamute’s name was ‘Navarre’ but we called him Fluffus Maximus for ‘short’ ha ha ha ha.

    • auroragyps says:

      Lol. My parent’s had a pit that my dad named Max. I used to say you can name any dog Max, so he should have a name with more umph, to which dad would say that it was short for Maximilian. :-/

      After I met Max and found out that the woman at the pet adoption place had said he was a big doofus, I promptly renamed Max, Doofus Maximus and he really lived up that name. One of the mushiest, sweetest, & doofiest dogs I ever met.

      He also had the nickname of Moo or Moo Head, because he as white with black markings, like a Jersey Cow.

  3. Romeo says:

    My male Dachsund is called Orbis (“World” in Latin), the female’s name is Cleopatra and the large mixed breed one is called Radar (after Supreme’s dog who was also white with black spots).

  4. phasahd says:

    My multipoo’s name is Cookie Monster is One Tough Cookie. We originally called her Cookie, but I wanted to make it more unique. I couldn’t decide between Cookie Monster and One Tough Cookie, so I mushed them together. :P

    • katie says:

      We also call our golden cookie monster because she will always give you puppygog eyes we she hears the biscuit tin being opened. We also call her:

      Honey Bubbles (her real name)
      Hunny Bunch
      Biscuit barrel
      Flabbajabba
      Gruffmeister

      We call our dobbie:
      Doodle (her real name)
      Turd on legs
      Smaug (the lazy dragon from the hobbit)
      The black spot (she has a black spot on her tongue which is growing like in PotC)
      Needle nose.

      We also had dogs called Doris and Daisy (both “viscous” dobermanns!)

  5. Brigade Captain says:

    We had a Westie named Rufio James T. Dio IV :D The fourth was “for some lineage”, since he was a rescued dog :)

  6. jennaj says:

    Loki- God of Mischief

    Carmel Sundae

    Ioz (from Pirates of Darkwater)

  7. Arley says:

    my dog has a lot of nicknames. i call him: queefles, mooflie, and fluffafluff.

  8. LeHermit says:

    My dog’s name is Spoonz. He’s named after my husband’s gamer tag. Probably the most unique dog name I’ve ever used was Knothead, after a dog on a tv show that we were fond of. Also had a blue healer/st bernard mix that we called Pepe, because he looked a bit like a skunk.

  9. RkyMtHigh says:

    We had an Alaskan Malamute with a registered name of Kodiak’s Silent Shadow.

  10. Brittonlj says:

    My australian shepherd is named Polly Esther and my lab/border collie mix is named Cody Pendent (at first he was called Cody Roy to follow our har har fabric theme, but he turned out to be such a velcro-dog that we changed it).

    • Bucket says:

      I once met a woman at a Blessing of The Animals at church, and she had a cocker spaniel named Wedgie “because he’s a pain in the butt!”

  11. RkyMtHigh says:

    Oh! Hit enter too soon. We also had a mutt that was named J. Edgar Dog. We called him Jed.

  12. Cat says:

    I have a friend whose dog is named Godzilla Destroyer of Worlds. epic

  13. some dude says:

    My male gsd is called called Mayhem.

    I wanted to call him Dammit, but that didn’t quite fly with the folks at home, so I settled for that.

    Later in life, I’ll probably get a husky and a lab and name them Havok and Chaos, just for the sake of having a “terrible trio”.

  14. doggiemam says:

    Our male chihuahua is called Socrates Octavius, Soc for short. The name is bigger than he is!

  15. Michelle Smith says:

    We have Vincent von Snorter and Tobias von Chusenphartz.

  16. Roland deHay says:

    Well, lets see, our beagles are (were) named….
    Yogsothoth (nicknamed Yogdog)
    Nyarlethotep (nicknamed Nya, Buddha, Boo-boo, Nu-nu)
    Hephaestus (nicknamed Hephty or Monkey-butt)

    • schneeblefish says:

      …how do you pronouce those first two? Anything different to how they’re spelled? (ie Yog-so-thoth, N-yar-leth-o-tep)

  17. A different dude says:

    Our dog is named Sir John Barleycorn, and he usually just goes by the name Barley. However, we also call him by a bunch of different names: Canis Ludicrous, Canis Poopus, Goldzilla (he’s a golden retriever), and more.

  18. Anon says:

    I suggested the name “Itzakat” for our next dog. My wife nixed the idea.

    I imagined a phone call to the vet’s office going like this…
    “I’d like to schedule an appointment for my dog.”
    “What’s your dog’s name?”
    “Itzakat.”
    “Okay, what is your cat’s name?”
    “I don’t have a cat. I have a dog.”

    I miss Abbott and Costello.

  19. My friend asked me to help him name his Belgian malinois that he rescued from the pound- a goggie not bit on brains, but huge in heart with a sense of adventure. The moniker? Indiana Bones.

  20. schneeblefish says:

    My dog’s called Bonnie, which in itself is a boring name. We do, however, have a number of nicknames.

    Here’s most of the ones not based on her name (eg Bon, Bon-bon, Bonnikins etc):
    Dog
    Doglet
    Mutt
    Rat
    Ratbag
    Sh*tbag
    Buggerlugs (also used for me and my brother ¬.¬)
    The Black Bullet (she’s fast obviously)
    The Dark Destroyer (self explanatory for anyone who knows anything about dogs really)
    …I think that’s all of them.

    • schneeblefish says:

      and for the first night we had her she was called Button, but my brother (a bouncer {and therefore muscly, shaved head and tattooed}, and whose dog she is) thought he’d look stupid standing on the doorstep shouting it so he changed it.

  21. mo' says:

    our first dog was a golden named amber jade. not too unique i know, but sets this up: our second dog is a boxadore (boxer/lab mix) named deuce. kind of a tough name for a little boxer-looking female who is all of 58 lbs, but her nickname, moose, fits too!

    i once had pet rats named bertha and beaches.

  22. abigail says:

    Captain Charles Truffles Brown Chubby Butt Valentino Chubbasnuck Mr. Man Señor Floppy Ears Chuckenstein

    Darcy Doodlebug Monkey Lips Teefers

  24. Smash says:

    I have a rescue boxer named Maddie, but I’ve been calling her Lil Miss Wigglebutt. She also goes by Princess Stinksalot and Madimus Maximus.

  25. Spence says:

    My shelter rescue dog, (Husky-Shepard mix) was named Bess,
    a loving and loyal companion, but not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
    When the vet asked me if that was her full name, I said
    “Lady Bess Spencer Fuzz-for-Brains” and he wrote it down!

  26. Alla says:

    When my old girl of 15 years went to dog heaven, I swore up and down — No more! However, my kids decided that without a dog, I’m a horrible mean person (they were right). One day, coming home from town, the younger daughter hung a right instead of a left — and headed for the vet’s office. “Buy a dog!” they insisted… So we came home with a “Little Biddy Black Puppy”. Biddy is a name for a pagan mother-goddess, and she really was “little bitty”….. But now my Little Biddy Black Puppy is an 85-pound setter-mix. People don’t even get out of their cars when they see the Little Biddy doggy running toward the driveway.

  27. starrypawz says:

    I’ve met a pug named Botox, a husky named Loki and a St Bernard named Tinkerbelle
    My aunt used to have an KC registered Airdale named Griff but his full name was something like ‘Brocolesia Bakewell Boy’
    My dog is named Barney he has nicknames like Barn, Barnacle, Barney Warny, Rocketdog, Trundlebutt (that was when he was a puppy) and other stuff I can’t really say… We once had a joke that he was the ‘Dogfather’

    He’s a rescue but apparently pedigree but we weren’t allowed his papers but my brother and I joked that if we ever KC registered him we’d probably call him something like ‘Duke Barneyton of Ashford’

  28. LCGaunnac says:

    I named my Welsh terrior Samwise Gamgee. I just call him Sam most of the time.

  29. meetoo says:

    Our whippet is named Devo. I know – pretty generic…

  30. Cortni says:

    My english bulldogs name is Willy Wonka

  31. Morgan says:

    My friend had a Basset Hound that he named Sir Frederick McFlopper. =)

  32. Philo says:

    My Scottie’s name was Nagus Dingus Dundee and My Westie’s name was Mary Margaret McGillicudy, or Gus & Maggie. Miss them so…
    But my new Boston’s name is Mary Margaret McGillicudy II, or Mooter Pooter (she has a lot of silent-but-deadly gas).

  33. darkcloyd says:

    our doggys name is sunny kupo rally maya meister (maya for short)

  34. Zeti says:

    My Boston Terrier is named “Oliver Cromwell Lord Protector of England.” We call her Enga for short.

  35. Leah says:

    Our French Poodle’s full name is “Franklin Delano Rufus, the new deal dog”… he goes by Rufus or Dufus.

  36. Dog guy says:

    I wanna name a dog Roscoe P. Coltrane

  37. FredB says:

    My dog’s name was No. Not intentionally, but we took a while picking a proper name for him and by then he would answer to No.

    He was a Beagle / German Shorthair mix. A big doofus.

  38. Katiesinger says:

    My dog, a welch corgi, kennel name ‘bigdrums overtone,’ (we called him jerry) was bred to a female named, no joke, ‘larkwhistle lilly of lantwood!’ they called her fancy pants.

  39. Ferratus says:

    Johann Sebastian Bark

    great name for a wiener dog

  40. maltese parakeet says:

    i registered my dog’s name as maxwell’s silver hammer after the beatles song. when i got the papers back, they had added the roman numeral iv, because the name had already been used. so i guess that mean’s there are at least three other people out there at least as strange as me.

    • Greymoya says:

      That’s gotta be the most awesome name for a dog ever! You could call him Max OR Silver OR Hammer. Great song too :)

  41. Darren says:

    Nymphadora Tonks – from Harry Potter. We thought it’d be cute to then call her just Tonks for short, like in the books, but Nymphadora ended up sticking. We catch a lot of flak for that.

  42. Amy says:

    Our half German Shepard, half Boxer is named Princess Penelope Poopypants. My husband named her. Called Penny for short. Except by me, I call her Pinkie for some reason.

  43. cami says:

    we had a pet named Dweezyl after Frank Zappa’s son..

    • Greymoya says:

      When I adopted my greyhound, there were two there that we looked at. The one we didn’t take was called Dweezle. She was hyper as he!! though, we took the calm one and her name was Rosie. It’s Moya now though (I’m a huge Farscape fan).

  44. claire says:

    my dogs name is “Monty Python”

  45. Dragonfry says:

    I have 3 american bulldogs who are…
    The mother is “Ivy Lee West” cause she looks like my aunt Ivy Lee.
    Her son is “Ivy’s Super Villian Lex Luther” Call him Luther
    And his sister is “Ivy’s Rockin Smashed Gladys” for an 80/90′s rock a billy band. Call her Gladys.
    I also have a American bulldog/plott hound named “Maggie Mae West” because i wanted to name her after a black and white film star.
    And my boxer who has passed away was “Shaman Shiner Shi-thead.” Call name Shiner. He was a white boxer with a black eye spot. And he could live up to his last name when he wanted to!
    Fry

  46. kiki kelley says:

    M.C. Popo, the Hiphop Master of Doggie Disaster. He’s a streetwise shih tzu that can lay down some sick rhymes. His baby sister is a chihuahua/italian greyhound mix that we adopted from doggie death row at the pound. We named her Li’l Kimchi. “Kimchi” (a fermented coleslaw dish) b/c she’s definitely an acquired taste. “Li’l Kimchi” so she can stay in touch with her hiphop roots. Together, they’re called The Puppy Posse. Russel Simmons still hasn’t returned their phone calls.

  47. Jessica says:

    I had a maltese named Crackers. Not Cracker, it had to be plural. Yes, her middle name was Cheese.

  48. Phil says:

    Cum back? No…. If you want me to “come” back then sure.

  49. meesch says:

    My baby is Sunny Delight, but we call her Suns, Sunyeh Bunyeh (with a Russian accent) Sunny Bunny, Goofball, Cutie, Boogerhead and Snotface. She’s a little love :)

  50. Carol says:

    My high school English teacher had a dog named Borum Barkaditty

  51. Beckie says:

    Our Basset hound is named the Lady Tickles P. Hound. Tick for short, she can be a real pest, and occasionally Tinkles when she forgets to potty OUTSIDE. Our Corgi is named Eli, not very original but he came with it. We call him Fuzzy Butt and The Fuzz Monster. But he really only reponds to Eli.

  52. DAZED AND CONFUSED says:

    Wee Doggie. Can you imagine standing on the front porch in Alabama in a Trailerpark yelling WEE DOGGIE at the top of you lungs? LOL! We didn’t live there long but it was definitely interesting. My brother-in-law had his wedding in the dead end dirt road and his new sister-in-law who was a pregnant bride’s maid wet herself during the “ceremony”. She told everyone her water had broke to hide her faux pas.

  53. JMixx says:

    My current pup: Echo (full registered name “Loriet’s Echo of a Gem”)
    My previous dogs were Wag (“Timber Winds’ Scalawag”), Lear (Kennrich’s Ausgezeichnet), and Ubu (just Ubu).

    I had Lear and Ubu at the same time; they were both black-and-tan (Rottie markings) so together they were “The Black and Tan Flood.” Wag’s nicknames included “Little Man,” “Sweetest of all Possible Sweet Dogs,” “Diminutive Canine,” and “Transitional Object.” Echo’s nicknames are “No! NO!” “Ferocious Little Beastie,” and “Wiggly-worm.”

    Ubu had too many nicknames to list. Worm-butt, Fuzzbutt, U-Boo-Hoo, Ububarooboobaroobooboo, Ubaru, Ubaru-ski, The Golden Dog, Miss Ubu, The Lady Ubu…

  54. Sira says:

    My friends and I were driving around Virginia when we happened upon two drifters in need of a ride. They had two dogs with them. Sasha, and Sphincter. I think Sphincter is a great name for a dog.

  55. travis miller says:

    i named my dog macgruber after the snl skit. The best part is when he blows up

  56. Deb says:

    My dog’s name is Seamus, when we are mad at him his name is “GodDammit Seamust Get Out of the CatBox!”

  57. SugarFemme23 says:

    My dog’s name is Batty McFatty.

  58. holly says:

    Our dog is Finn who is a wire haired fox terrier and I call him Mr Finn, Finn the Wonder Dog and Finny Finn.

  59. CaliKitty says:

    When my folks got a Silkie, I convinced them (to my everlasting shame) to name him Dinker Doodle Dandy. It was 1976, the Bicentennial year. Fortunately, he went by Dinker. Our first dog was a toy Manchester terrier, and a runt to boot. Despite his lengthy pedigree of ancestors all named Lord this and Lady that, we gave him a name that we thought fit him best: Peanut. Best dog ever.

  60. katie says:

    ours is Pilgor the Executioner.

  61. Kim Bowie says:

    i NEED this sign!! where can i find one!? our black lab/ german sheppard/ whatever else has the fitting name of Cloee Bear Face because, well, she has a bear face!! Our cat’s name is Ollie Ollie Oxenfree, Ollie for short. :)

  62. boaks says:

    My chemist friend named her dog Molybdenum. She calls her Molly :-)

  63. althea says:

    A relative had Deeohgee.

  64. Curmudgeon says:

    This made me cry – our newfie looked a whole lot like a black bear… in black bear country… and we often got calls from people saying “we can’t come to your house because there’s a bear in the yard.” No bear. Just Otto. I miss him just too much for words. Best boy ever.

  65. Julie says:

    My dog has many names.

    Fuzzy-butt, fuzzy girl, etc.

    I had a greyhound I sometimes called “Bobbaloo”, dunno why

  66. Caligrrl says:

    I had a chocolate lab named Mousse when I was young.

    • schneeblefish says:

      half the time chocolate labs are named after some kind of chocolate… your Mousse, I know a Twix and I knew a recue dog called Jane who got renamed to Rolo when she was rehomed.

  67. kytfox says:

    my friend had an dog named “Damm it” so he would say “Sit, Damm it, stay Damm it, ect…

  68. keshet says:

    The first family dog we had was a besenji mix named Henry. The next dog was a black lab that the whole family got to name so he was Bartholomew Kilmer Peter Tumnus, but he was usually just called Bart. Next was the keeshond that was found wandering the streets. He was dubbed Leo because he had to be shaved from the shoulders back due to mats and burrs. He also got the multi-name treatment. His full name was Leo Willard Nermal Ray. I lost a shepherd/hound mix a year ago to cancer. I named her Pequeña because she was HUGE! (I usually just called her Kenya) My current dogs are Ginny and Bosco.

  69. Lady Dustmite says:

    We have a Beagle-mix whose birthday is 06/06/06 and her name is Lucifer McSnootsalot.

  70. Calli Arcale says:

    I’ve got a poodle named Mithril. People get his name wrong nearly always — and when they don’t, we know we’ve got a Tolkien fan on our hands. ;-) His father turned “blue” (silver) so we thought he would be too, but he’s basically black with a few gray hairs here and there. We had also considered naming him Dust Puppy (any User Friendly fans out there?).

    As a child, we had another poodle (who *was* silver) named Shadowfax. And another named Strider. The cat was Gandalf, but he had to sail off for Valinor when I turned out to be allergic to him. We kinda had a Tolkien thing going.

  71. jazcat says:

    My husband named our Lab-Rottie-Shepherd puppy Gus cause he was a regular, friendly neighborly puppy. I figured Gus was a Greek name so he was registered with the UKC as Gus Pupalupoulos.

    He is now a regular, friendly, neighborly, goofy 95 lb dog.

  72. wolf momma says:

    despite all the pets in my life… all their names were pretty generic until recently. met a poodle whose name is Buffy but goes by “Pot Pie,” a chiuahuah mix named Snaffle (always said the bigger dogs pick on him because his name sounded like a treat), another dog named “moccasin” and a puppy named “Journey”… i currently own a cat named “Miss Treasure” and her baby “little bits” and a dog named “Panda Chin” (she is a rescue who was found in a ditch at like 2 weeks old and i bottle raised her and she used to suck on anyone’s chin. few seconds and you had a nice purple hickey!)

    know of a dog named “wobbles” who i called weeble wobble. and heard of one called “Grampy Hamster” (Grampy’s name is longer but i dont remember the rest) OH and a dog named “Half” because he has bi-colored eyes, one is brown and the other is bright blue with the top half of it brown… hence his name Half. know a dog named possum, and a baby deer named Jacobi Lucinda.

  73. liisam says:

    We named our sheltie Dengar. Nobody can pronounce it for some reason.

  74. Lynntastic says:

    My dog’s name is Jorge Sanchez. He responds in an excited manner to exaggerated Mexican accents. Plus his is not a Spanish breed – he’s a wheaten Scottish terrier and miniature schnauzer mix.

  75. Momcat says:

    We have a very fluffy Corgi/Aussie mix. She gets these cute little tufts of fur around her toes, so we named her “Lady Lillian Fluffyfeet” We usually call her Lilly, or Lady Lil.

  76. Waerd says:

    Our newest acquisition, a husky/collie mix from the pound is named Barrett, but he has also gained several nicknames, including Doggie Butt, Thingamablob, and Thing George. A great guy who has a wonderful smile all the time and a fantastic disposition.

  77. Sara says:

    We have two dogs. They are pure win. Their names are: S.O.A.P. (for Snakes On A Plane) and Pjambalaya, or ‘Jam’ for short.

  78. Kitten says:

    Our german short hair pointer was named Loosa. To my 4 year old eyes her coat was similar to an appaloosa horse’s, and I said so. Mom thought it was cute.
    We now have a corgi terrier mix named Cinnabun. She’s a light cinnamon color and has floppy ears, a bobbed tail, and she bounces when she runs…Her nickname is Bunny

  79. pcflamingo says:

    Well, it wasn’t that unusual a name I don’t suppose …. growing up we always had Dalmatians and one was named Pirate because he had a perfect black patch over one eye. When I was in college I lived next door to someone who had a giant dimwitted St. Bernard named Seven.

  80. Jessss says:

    My dog’s full name is Sunshine Gummi-Bear Snickerdoodle Tatertot Amos Peterson. He answers to Sunny, though. :]

  81. Solange says:

    My toy poodle is named Spike Reefer, Mad Dog :)

  82. Dorothy says:

    A German Shepherd/ sheltie or collie mix I had, named Lakshmi Shalala Kebebe.

  83. phoebe says:

    My dog’s registered name is ‘Card Counter’s gamble’ but his pet name is Remy. Which in itself may not be original, but i think on a whole it’s quite a nice, strange pack. ^^

    Our rescue dogs were named Lady and Bingo, which are the two most uninspred names ever… but they were both pretty set in their ways (being 5 and 3) so it wouldn’t have been fair on them to change their names.

  84. Xear says:

    My Cairn (RIP) Was Named Toffee, which somehow mutatied to Queen of the living room, the evil one, Tofster the frog slayer and Fluff. Great dog she was even if she had the ego of a queen :-P

  85. Kelli says:

    We have a Samoyed with the full name of General Nikolai Fuzzypants. We normally call him Niko but have known to call him Fuz, Fuzzy, Fuzzums, goofball, Yo Dog, Hey You. He answers to any of them.

  86. Dumazz says:

    My Border Collie pup is nicknamed Destructo-mutt…..she’s a chewer

  87. Ananya says:

    I always wanted a sheepdog that I would name Boliver D. Shagnasty.

  88. Chaos says:

    “Sir Argus the Flatulent” (English Bulldog)
    “Argus” for short
    “Argh!” for shorter

  89. Lynn says:

    Figaro. So you could call the dog to come in the house by shouting Figaro, Figaro, Figaro.

  90. tim says:

    My poodle (RIP) was Popcorn Furball Highstepper the 3rd. (Poppy)

    Now i have two aussies, Katarina von Uberwald (Katie) and Abigail Wooflesnoot (abbie)

    A freind had a German Shepard named Vyeighuesse (pronounced vi-gus) and another has a Great Dane called Simple

  91. Hunter says:

    Our family had a penchant for naming pets after office copiers. We had dogs by the name of Xerox and Kodak, but my favorite one was Pitney Bones.

  92. Tala says:

    We named our dog Chewbacca Claude van Dumb dumb. (Chewy for short. I blame my brothers.)

  93. Tracey says:

    When I was little, we had a breeding pair of basset hounds named Sherlock and Lady Watson.

    I adopted a 2-year-old female tuxedo tabby named Fritz. I didn’t like the name, but she responded to it, so I needed to change it to something similar. Now her name is Ritz, an appropriate name for a tuxedo.

    I adopted another cat named Lafferty, an overweight cat, so I called him Laffy Taffy. Except that when he first came into the house he was afraid of Ritz, so I called him Wussy Pussy.

  94. ellen says:

    My parent’s dog…an american bulldog mix…is named Boofa.
    His nicknames include Boofasa…B-Man…roo….

  95. Mimi says:

  96. Rachelle says:

    My fiancee had a great dane named Captain Jax Fantastic. Our current dane’s name is Mara Jade (this was Luke Skywalker’s wife’s name in the Star Wars books.

  97. Malamutemom says:

    I had two Siberian Huskies – one male and one female that I named
    Tsar Nicolai the Quick and Tsarina Alexandra the Wild. They lived up to their names in every way. Of course, they were usually Nicki and Alex around the house.

  98. Terri says:

    We have Sandy, Diego passed away last year, and we still have Charger. Get it? San Diego Charger…. We also have River, who looks just like Sandy, only smaller. Sandy River is a river in Oregon at the base of Mount Hood.

  99. Santa Zeke says:

    I wanted to name the new dog Earl, but my wife didn’t like that. After a bit of back-and-forth, she said, I don’t care what name it is, as long as it isn’t Earl!” Taking that challenge, I suggested “Five,” and she grumbled, “Well, it’s better than Earl.” And so we had Five for a companion.

  100. JOANN says:

    My SharPei was called Sa-Jah – that’s Klingon for pet (there’s no Klingon word for dog). Well, his head was very wrinkled!! He was the sweetest dog; would not have made a good Klingon at all.

  101. Huggy says:

    A dog at my agility class is named “Putt-putt the Fluffy Butt, Saskatchewan Ding-Dong Happy Tail (last name)”

  102. shadowlion69 says:

    D.O.G kind of roll it off your tongue

    Lolly for short :)

  104. Earl says:

    Phlumrox, my second dog

  105. Lyn says:

    TRES: our three legged rottweiler rescue (we got him this way). We pronounce it TRACE, so its our little secret.

    I have a Runt Mutt (goes by Runty). She’s your run of the mill medium sized black Lab mix. I have a huge Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix named Horse (he’s as big as a horse, he eats like a horse, and he’s a big clodhopping oaf). He also answers to dips*#t because while he’s sweet, he’s really dense. My best friend has a dog who’s an absolute demon, and for the longest time, the dog would not answer unless you called her by her full name – “Naughty Maudie, bad dog!” So now she’s simply called Bad Dog. lol.

    Well I had a friend who lived by a pet graveyard. We saw Peanut Weanie there.

  108. Chels says:

    My Jack Russell beagle mix is Princess Banana Fana Brigadier of The High Seas. Or, you know, Nanny for short. =)

    I have 2 second-hand dogs, a Lhasa Apso & a Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon mix. Their names were Aragorn & Gimli, respectively. But since they were stating a new life with us, new names were in order. Aragorn only answered to Ziggy (Ziggy Piggy b/c he snorts) . Gimli was different: super cute, overly trusting & friendly, 8 lbs at the time & only 4 months old. So, obviously, we had to name him Cannibal. It didn’t make him any tougher :-D

    Is anyone going to do ferret names? My son named his “Bobba-ferret”

    We have had “The Abominable Snow Beast” a solid white cocker spaniel. Beast for short (female). Einstein the Mastermind, a cat we thought was female and named “her” Heidi, only to find out…nope…we named him Sneaky. We currently have a solid black cat named Morticia. We also had a Great Dane, Melvin.
    My uncle is stuck on Flossy with some middle name. Every little dog he has ever owned is Flossy Ray, Kay, May etc. He has 4 Flossys now.

  112. Qwill says:

    I grew up with a small very mixed breed runty dog named Munchkin.
    He was very smart, used to pretend his paw was hurt and limp around when he wanted attention. Once you picked him up he was fine.

    My sis had black labs named Shadow and Magic.
    My reddish golden is named Phoenix.
    My benji looking dog is named Blaze.

  113. Fennic says:

    I have a merle corgi x terrier whose full name is “Wizard, the Rare and Elusive Bearded Leopard Dingo Bat of Borneo”. When his full title is not required, he is called Wiz, Ears, Shorty, Ratdog, etc.

  114. Val Mal Gal says:

    We gave our rescue dogs “pedigree” names so they wouldn’t feel left out. Together, they are known as The Wonder Wieners. They are: Copernicus Maximus the Red Lovesponge (Coop) and The Goddess Isis Fluttertail Lumberjack (Isis).

  115. Kaylee says:

    I know a dog w/ the name “Bunita Chiquita Rosita Juanita Chihuhua,” like from Lady and the Tramp, we just call her Bunny. I have also heard of a dog known as Nosmo King. My dog’s name is less of a weird one, Jewelzey Ruby.

  116. Taneen says:

    1.Captain Horatio Hornblower (we called him Captain to save him the embarrasment, though as a Boxer of Great Bearing he could have carried Horatio)
    2. Emperor Milo Wu of Pu – the pug. Of course having the origins in China as a royal dog, he had to have a suitable name.
    3. Otis P. Cocker, Esquire – cocker spaniel who had a bladder prob as a pup.

  117. Krackstirnt says:

    My Yorkie is named Madame Sophie Naughty Knickers. It’s a pedigree thing…

  118. Liza Orr says:

    My boyfriend’s Chow/ Shepard/ Timber Wolf mix named Silvanus. He is an amazing and very sweet dog. He is very protective. My boyfriend’s mom has a mut (not sure whats in her) named Gaia. She is the equivalent of a 2 year human child in temperament and quirks.

  119. Victoria says:

    Harry P. Scruffmann-Super Terrier (Wolfhound-terrier)

    Our American Water Spaniel is named Kalico Ruffntumble Rose (Kali) after multiple relatives, including her Aunt Rosie and her father, Ruff. Our Dobe is Darraigh Brandubh Otherside (Dary), which means strong as an oak tree, dark raven, and a Red Hot Chili Peppers song. Good thing the AKC only allows 28 characters!

  121. Jen says:

    My new puppy, a german shepard/husky mix, is named “River Moonbrain McDipstick.” The first two names because of the show “Firefly” and the last part because she has a tiny white tip on the end of her tail. She is adorable!

  122. Moon says:

    Our chihuahua mix was Cruiser and our pit/shepherd mix is Death.

  123. Nash says:

    My dog is half border collie and half yellow lab; imagine a medium/large dog with a big toilet-brush tail, collie markings but yellow where there would normally be black.
    He’s a shared dog, and he came with the name Dobie – but he’s not a Dobermann, so I call him Bodie. I’ve always loved the ghost town of Bodie, California, and he’s sorta sand colored… that and we can call him ‘Bozo’ because he’s such a fool.

  124. WPQ14 says:

    My doggie’s a basset hound, she’s just over a year old, and her name is Princess French Fry of Aurora (that’s her official AKC name XD). Her dad’s name was Hash Brown, and her brother was Tator Tot. We just call her Frenchy, though. My last dog was C.C., short for Cookies and Cream. Then there was Max, who was a wolf-husky mix. He was awesome.

  125. R says:

    I grew up with a dog named Willow, but we called her Willestra or Queen Willestra most of the time. She was also often called Willa McGilla. Our dog Lizzy became Z-Bear, and our cat Tom actually got nicknamed Thomas, and then finally Super T.

  126. Qwerty says:

    One of my mom’s friends owns a dog that she named simply “Dog”, because it’s a dog. She got another one, and named it “Also”, as it was also a dog.

  127. snakelady says:

    I have 2 shelter rescues that are spoiled rotten – a redbone coonhound and a pointer. They have so many nicknames I can’t keep track, and am always making up new ones! I call the pointer Senor Specklebelly, Thirsty McDrinkerson, or Captain Von Snarfington. The redbone is Fatty Littlesteps, Tally Von LongTorso, or Miss Saggy Titties…

  144. Amanda says:

    Our golden retriever/siberian husky mix is named El Chupacabra (the mythical mexican goatsucker). We call her Chupa for short…and she definitely lives up to the “goat” part of her name. If she can get her jaws on it, she’ll eat it…from earrings to drywall to books!
