Every name has a story, especially the ones that you give your beloved pets. Although, we could not deny the fact that some of the names are made with such little thought that it becomes hilarious. Sometimes, you just can’t help but crack up to the funny stories behind a pet’s name, including these over 73 pet names and how they came to be.
1) Azerbaijian?
For those who do not know, Azerbaijian is a country. So it makes sense to name your dog after a country instead of a random word. More sense than naming him LouLou.
2) She Knows What’s Up
This neighbor is only the most amazing neighbor ever. She doesn’t use the pets’ given names but instead gives them much better names. We can see The Doctor doing this.
3) This is Actually a Thing
For some reason, people like to give their female cats girl names then eventually start calling them really normal man names. It’s a whole thing and no one knows why.
4) Also Scott
His name is the whole chorus from I’m the Scatman only with Scrapman instead. Does he also go by Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub yo da dub dub?
5) Stay Away From Ambers
If you haven’t called your pet a food, then are you really even a pet owner. You can go with something like Pumpkin or Love Muffin of you’re a beginner.
6) That’s a Lot of Years
Only the best of us are lucky enough to keep a cat for 17 years. This cat has lived over twice as long as he would likely have in the wild. No wonder these felines are abusing their powers.
7) Another Royal Family
These pets are given names fit for kings. But that is a little obvious considering one of them is King Anton, who is, of course, their leader. Second in command is Henrik, and so on.
8) Frankie is the Only Option
If you have a Dachshund and it’s not named Frankie, then do you even have a Dachshund? That’s what I thought. Although anything to do with sausage is also acceptable.
9) Tibbers!
These names are so high IQ that the general population will never be able to full appreciate them. This dog will be given the best food and win every show he enters into.
10) Say My Name, Say My Name
Jeanie Beanie Bonky Beanie is about as natural as you can get. Who needs a name like Jean when you can be as colorful as that? That was one quality upgrade.
11) From Hero to Roast
Many animals follow this path, but a cat isn’t usually one of them. It doesn’t take long to realize your cat will never be the hero you thought they were going to be.
12) Read That Twice
Did you catch all that? If not, you’re not alone. Tiger-Biger-Billy-Bigey-Boo is one that you will have to memorize before moving on from the simple Tiger.
13) Such a Disgrace
Imagine, just imagine changing Obi Wan Kenobi’s name to Coco. That is just not cool. Sure, Coco the Disney movie is alright, but Obi Wan? Who could do such a thing?
14) Things Have Changed
Their first dog seemed like an old monster. This new one? He seems a little conceded and a lot spoiled. When you start rhyming with your dog name, you know that you are wrapped around that little paw.
15) Never Surrender
Buzzkins is totally acceptable but you can’t claim The Floof. There are millions of cats and dogs that get to be called The Floof no matter what their original name may be.
16) Yep, Short
Imagine learning as an adult that your cat’s real name wasn’t what you thought it was. Would you change a thing? Probably not, but it would feel quite strange.
17) Works For Her
Let’s face it, dogs don’t care what you call them, as long as you do call them. So if you want to take a cute name like Nutmeg and ruin it for your family, then go for it. Nutty won’t mind.
18) A Lot to Take In
This is a lot of reading and a lot of trying to understand exactly who is who. It seems there are three cats with about thirteen names it total? Spooky.
19) Bootsbootsbaby
Try saying her name five times fast. Or just once, because it’s really catchy. Although Lucy is one of the best dog names you can come up with, we can accept their replacements.
20) Okay Then, Pops
Can you even pick a favorite out of all of these adorable names? They fit old dogs, baby dogs, small dogs, and big dogs. Even fluffsters and Chinese Crested!
21) They Love Their Dogs
You cannot even speak these names unless you love your dogs. Try calling your dog one of them to find out how much you really care about them. Start with Peggy Weggy Woo Woos.
22) Stanley, How Could You?
We can all relate to this. Your dog strung out the trash again, is whining because the cat is pestering him, or had a little accident inside. That’s his name, don’t wear it out.
23) That’s Enough
This is adorable. Tigger loves affection but this cat, not so much. Cats are known for controlling how much humans touch them and this cat is the perfect example.
24) Just Put “Cat”
This cat isn’t just called cat, but is officially name cat. The poor kid wanted to call her Disco but sadly, no one else did. Maybe when he gets older he can get his own Disco cat.
25) Mind Blown
Carpet isn’t an awful name for a cat. But using her name to name her offspring is just about the smartest thing one could do. Mat could be short for Matthew and Rug is one of those cool, “rugged” dudes in school.
26) Perfect Explanation
This is the absolute best explanation and reasoning behind a name that we’ve ever seen. As long as it’s a stroke of the hand and not a “stroke” or a seizure. It could happen.
27) Don’t Mince Words
You can tell that this dog is a good dog. She’s sweet, funny, and has a big personality. Actually, can we meet Mince because we already love her. Wait…he said “was” didn’t he?
28) Not Too Shabby
In English, this doesn’t sound too insulting, but of course, in this girl’s language, it is. Although, Fish isn’t at all. You never know, do you, Goat? Yeah, not the Greatest of All Time.
29) Little Man!
Moo is a good name for a cat but so is every other name that this H mentioned. DogBearCat is a great one for those as confuse as Babe. Baa Ram Ewe!
30) Classic Evolution
This is what an evolution
31) Deserves the World
This dog looks so extra sweet that he deserves the best. Including a name like Piglington Doglington. He is royalty for sure and needs to feel like it.
32) I See What You Did There
Yeah, not really. Wilson and Pickle don’t really have any relation right? Unless you are referring to Wilson Pickett and the Land of 1000 Dances. And about Bumface? Well, it relates to any name.
33) Smart Move
This was a grand move, Mrs. Tovey. After all, having to say that ten word name would get tiring and he’d never get scolded. This is what America believes everyone with an accent is named.
34) Try Saying It Without a Lisp
Anyone who can appreciate Lovecraft is a friend of cats everywhere. There is a realm that people like this live on and commoners like us will never reach it.
35) How Cultured
This cultured family names their kittens after Russian figures, which is pretty dope. But when someone else took over the care of one…well, she went from the subject of one of the greatest books of all time to something that sounds like a bodily function.
36) Popsicle FTW
This person should write a book about cat names and become a best selling author. I don’t even have a cat and I’d buy a book like that. Who wouldn’t?
37) Try It Out
Just try saying Jarvalarv and Harvay with a Mexican accent and you’ll understand why they use the names. It’s so catchy that you’ll be saying it over and over again.
38) The Noover Vacuum
Blade is a good name for a vampire, vampire hunter, and a black lab, apparently. Although Puppa Nui is about as perfect as you can get. Sure does have a ring to it.
39) I’d Like a Pupperoni To Go
This scruffy little girl seems quite likable. Imagine calling him Pupper John or Magnolia. Both fit so equally that it’s amazing they are so different.
40) Now This is Evolution
This is what pet name evolution is all about. You start out with a decent name. Guts makes her sound determined and strong. But then Google? Well, maybe she’s a know-it-all.
