Unusual, domestic animals' names

Singer Katy Perry has a cat called Kitty Purry!

I inherited two ducks from the previous owners of our house, they were called Elvis and Madonna, Elvis had a quiff! I had a horse called Sid, who was very handsome and elegant and another called Bisto, both came with these stable names although they had different posh registered names

We had a cat called Twiggy because she was very thin when she walked into our lives.
We also had a cat who had the same name as a new neighbour’s young son which was a little awkward when we both called them in for their tea!

Recently knew Trevor, a horse.

I know one called Dougie.
He is so sweet, but oh so naughty!

My granddog is called Dougie!

I know a Douglas, he’s a big sort of curly haired terrier and a sweetie.

Am annoyed now as can’t think of the breed, it’s a Yorkshire something but not a little Yorkie.

A friend had a tabby cat called “Edie Puss”!

A friend had brother and sister cats called Bonnie and Clyde and our rescue cat was called Smoochie. When young our daughter called her goldfish Virgil.

I have known three dogs called Monty. The first, a toy poodle, was short for Montmorency; the second, a cocker spaniel, was short for Montgomery, the name of the house at my school of which his owner was the house master; and the third, a labradoodle, appears to be short for nothing, so I have decided that it is short for Montepulciano, a pleasant Italian red. Incidentally, when FM Lord Montgomery visited my school, he was rather put out to discover that the house was not named after him, but after a former housemaster.

We had a cat called Watney, after the beer, my little brother named him because he liked the song in the Watneys Beer advert.

We called one of the dogs we’ve had over the years ‘misty’ - not very creative I know - but after we got to know her we renamed her ‘Mavis’ after the character in Corrie, because she was such a ditherer.

My dog is Mrs Barker

One of our cats was called Leopard.
He was an Asian Bengal.

A friend looked after three baby hedgehogs and called them Freeman, Hardy and Willis! 🦔🦔🦔

When our children were very young, my daughter came back from school one day grumbling that she was the only child in the whole school that didn't have a pet 🙄

So we ended up with two little black poodle puppies.
The children named one Sooty.
My husband flatly refused their request to name the other one Sweep, he said it was bad enough having poodles in the first place and he wasn't calling those names out in public! So she was Sasha.
They were great little dogs 🐾🐾

I knew a beautiful appaloosa horse called Ben. It was short for Benefit because the owner had paid for him using her child benefit.

I had a rescue cat called askit . If you wanted to know her name, the owner would say I don't know, ask it.

We changed her name.
I knew a pair of geese called Maggy and Dennis.

A large bouncy rescue dog... Barnsley.

I have just bought a new budgie. As it was Hallowe'en on the day I bought it, I have named it Trixie (trick...see).

Our cats are Freja and Astrid, two Scandinavian goddesses. They rule the house of course.

My cat was called jeffrey.

If I had a dog I would call him Ralph, if asked his name if lost
He could answer, Ralph, Ralph, Ralph.

My GC’s dog is named Kevin.
I met the sweetest pug at the vets named Mabel.
My Aunt adopted a stray cat who they named Buzz because when he started hanging around they used to tell him to buzz off.
When he didn’t they took him in and the name stuck.

We had a cat called Kiwi because he was an All Black.

A friend had a cat called Then. As a kitten she would only come to you if you said ‘come here then ‘. If you left the then off she ignored you.

Other friends had a ‘Dulux ‘dog called Bonus.
He was the last of a litter and was born

sometime after the rest, hence bonus.

Sorry posted too soon.

I named two of my chickens Sage and Onion!
