Deefer
A friend’s dog, not mine.
Dave
We've had Moscow and Chernobyl the russian hamsters.... I suspect one may have been misnamed as I remember being early teens when we had them.
Also had
Dave the bearded Dragon
Pepsi the cat (again don't let young kids name pets)
Guy local to us had three cocker spaniels - Lunar, Solar and Astra.
He's moved now (a few miles away, not to another part of the universe)
Deefer
Which reminds me of one of the coolest TV dogs of all time - Diefenbaker
CBA wading through this to see if already done but I’ve always wanted a Jeremy Beagle
Years ago when working for Kirklees council as a landscaper I heard an old lady shouting Kenneth! Imagine my surprise to find she was yelling at a dog and not her husband. Giving dogs people names is wrong!
Our new puppy is called Chewie as the kids think he resembled Chewbacca. My daughter wanted to call him Nip Nip Boy.
I had a friends who’s cat spent a lot of time at the neighbours so they renamed him Arthur because they only saw him half the time.
Our cat is called Thundercat
A funny name for a dog is funnier if the dog has terrible recall.
Knew a guy who's comically well-endowed dog kept running off so he'd often be in the park shouting 'Knackers!...... Knackers!...... Knackers!"
I stumbled across this on iplayer the other evening, the dogs name is Colin from accounts who is working on a big merger. Or Colin for short.
It's a must watch. Also check out No Activity with the same couple.
Colin was the name of the dog in Spaced also, as I recall.
Thanos - Destroyer of Worlds is my friend’s cat.
Colleague had a cat named Vincent the Terrible. 🙂
We had a gerbil called Ramon. A girl.
Named after the penguin in Happy Feet. She was grumpy as hell but wonderful.
She's got it going on....
The Norfolk terrier next to me in the cafe earlier was called Zeus - small dog syndrome..
I’d go right back through Bob Mortimers Twitter timeline if I was looking for a name for a pet. He often has them for sale, £8.00 per annum (no returns).
I’d have bought ‘Chad Salad’ off him long ago if I had a cat.
Mine and my brothers gerbils in the late 80s were called Gizmo and Spike
A colleagues gerbils were called Gerry and Billy
This is Grace and Ada.

So far we've had Sushi and Bonkers the goldfish.

Tyger and Moose the cats.

In anticipation of this, my stepson's friend called their puppy Eileen. Then he could stand in the park shouting "Come on, Eileen". At least he'd thought it through a bit.
Mrs dB named our geckos Absolute **** & Cellophane Wrapper, I have no idea why.
My first English Springer was named Spanners. Then came another, Danielle, then a cocker Francesca. So when we had all 3, Span, Dan and Fran.
Still have Dan and Fran, with another cocker Florence (short name Flo).
In our village we have a Mister Darcy as well as a Lord Percy.
My partner's hamster was called 4.99, as that's what it cost.
My goldfish were Benson and Hedges
Years ago my new housemate's cat was called Boutros Boutros - Ghali
I was early 20's and had absolutely no interest or knowledge in geo-political affairs. I asked him what kind of stupid name was that for a cat.........both a good friendship and a new found interest in the world was born that day.
I tried to get the mother-in-law to name their new puppy Alexa.
Our two male Ridgebacks are named after MotoGP riders. We even got their kennel names entwined with them (we get on really well with the breeder so gave her permission) So we have Rossi (Jimanns The Doctor) and Miller (Jimanns Jackass) Our first Ridgeback was named after the Ellsworth Rogue MTB. His kennel name was Morlingcourt perfect Rogue, aka Rogue.
I had a dog called Blacksmith. Whenever I kicked him up the arse, he made a bolt for the door
I had a pet salamander called Tiny. He was my newt.
Seriously though I had a blue merle called Rover. He was a once in a lifetime dog, loved by all and a real character. Lived to be 16 years old and active till the last hour.

If my daughter had been born in the era of twitter, I suspect she would hate me for this reason.
Kevin.
A near-neighbours whom I sometimes see when walking.my own dawgiepup, is called Kevin.
Just fabulous.
This is Grace and Ada.
After Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper
My name is Cougar and I approve of this message.
he could stand in the park shouting “Come on, Eileen”
If I had a dog, I'd name it Jesus. Park-related hilarity aside, it'd be great when the evangelists came knocking on the door asking "have you found Jesus?" Yes, he's just had a poo in the yard and he's now in the kitchen turning water into piss.
Kevin.
A near-neighbours whom I sometimes see when walking.my own dawgiepup, is called Kevin.
Remember my tale earlier on this thread of how our cats' sister is named Neville? I forgot to mention, there's previous here, their mum was named Kevin.
So we've had Jester - male cat, RIP Fat Lad
Sparticus (sparky) - female cat named by a 7 yr old boy
Herbert - german shepherd
Mason - german shepherd x golden retriever
Mason is my least favourite but we didn't pick it. He'll be off to guide dog training school next year and we will miss him badly
Came across a lady walking her dog called Jeremy Beagle
And we have the winner
Had a rat called Fungus about 10 Yr ago. My OH used to have a cat called String
Have also met a bearded dragon called Dave (who the owner then found out it was female but refused to change her name to Davina)
My brother in law's cat is Minerva.
We had a goldfish called Longpoo, because it often had a long poo trailing out of its arse
I know they are not pets but a few years ago there was an article on the news about a couple of vultures that had escaped from a wildlife park. They were called Vomit and Satan.
Erik the cat
Previously had a siamese called Antonio Banderas by the ex
We used to have a sausage dog draught excluder. He was called Derek Nimrod The Dog.
If I ever become not allergic to everything, and we happen to get a dog, he's getting called Derek Nimrod. 😁
All our pets had normal names:
Tortoise - Beano
Two guinea pigs - Tao and Snooby
Hamster - Dizzy
Cat - Puss
Horse - Sally (dreadful name)
My two black labs, Biscuit and Leonard. <br />Biscuit was potentially going to be called princess strawberry by our 5 year old, but that got nixed sharpish. Good fun shouting biscuit at the local dog walk routes and seeing lots of ears perk up 🙂
Leonard came to us as Lenny, with suspicions that the previous owner was a bit of a racist dickhead. So either Len or Leonard. <br />Both sorely missed. <br />Apparently my next dog isn’t allowed to be called Christopher or Simon, as it’s weird…
My brother has 2 guinea pigs named after serial killers... Bundy and Gacey (?)
Had a cat called Cooking Fat in the 70s. Then a hyperactive dog called Zuma
I was slightly savaged by a neighbour's dog.
Dog is called Dave. Owner's name is Dave. My name is Dave.
I told him it would be worth reporting for the amusement of answering the inevitable series of questions. He reckoned I'd just get done for wasting police time and taking the pi$$ out of the constabulary...
That’s a whole world of Daves.
I think World of Daves did a session for Mark Riley on 6 Music last week
Mate has a golden lab he called Geoffrey. He had a brown dog coat for it.
He called it Geoffrey because we had a friend called Geoffrey who wore a brown leather jacket and had blond hair.
Current dog is Bodie (yes after him with the Capri, Mrs S has memories).
Previous dog Digby because he was mahoosive
Dog before was Huxley (he had history and was having a second chance in a Brave New World).
I had a lovely German Shepard called Onza. Yes, named after the bike brand. This was back in the 90s.
I don't suppose anyone is in the least bit surprised about that.
I had a Yorkshire music teacher who called his dog Grieg.
'cos it used to Peer Gynt Suite.
I'm here all week.
Current dog is Bodie (yes after him with the Capri, Mrs S has memories).
Mines called Bodhi 🙂

In our house there's a dog called 'Goose'....
My wife called the last pair of chickens: 'Hetty VonSpeaksalot' and 'Lottie VonShitsalot'.
Girlfriends cat is called Cheeky, I call it Landy cos it’s got such a short wheelbase.
We re-homed a dog called Kaos, we couldn't bring ourselves to calling "Kaos, come, to me!" She's now Penny, and as others on here, Penelope, when she's naughty.
Our mates also re-homed a dog, called by his previous owners Luger when he entered the rescue centre, he's now Ralph.
We've previously re-homed a cat called Badger who didn't have a black and white stripped face.
Our other dog is George, because it's a grown up name for a not very grown up dog.
Mate used to have a retriever called Toe .... oh the fun in the park late of an evening 😉
Fairly normal names for our pets aside Quincy M.E., the hamster
Snuffles the magnificent; enslaver of nations, destroyer of worlds, muncher of carrots.
I had a trail dog called Earl, loved going biking with me, but he sadly passed away at only four years old.
And then, about a month after he died, I saw this episode of Ted Lasso
A mate at school had a tortoise called Fluffy which always made me chuckle when I went round 😃
‘Always’ and ‘forever’.
Though, it’s cool to refer to the pets as ‘the young offenders’.
Ours have always been cyclists, so Nino (Schurter) and Eddie (Bossen Hagen) came first. Then came Tony Martin (a black half bengal cat), who became panzerwagon/ panther which became plain old Tank. Still catches me out at the vets when they call Tony!
