Top Fifteen Wackiest Names for Cats and Dogs
I have had many pets in my lifetime, and for the most part I haven't gone too far off the deep end when naming my cats and dogs, but I usually don't go for the common names either.
Some of my dogs names through the years have included Shep, Tinker, Arfie, Yaffa (girlfriend named that one), Ibeaux, Goldielocks (daughter named that one), and most recently Scrat -- yes, just like the hyped up and misguided prehistoric animated squirrel from Ice Age.
But, these pale in comparison to pet owners with much more creative, or demented, minds than mine. Veterinary Pet Insurance insures nearly 500,000 pets and from those they do an annual survey on some of the strangest names. Here are the most recent top fifteen:
For dogs -
- Chew Barka
- Nigel Nosewhistle
- Sir Maui Sengkey Schwykle
- Spark Pug
- Agent 99
- Stinker Belle
- Vienna Sausage
- Furnace Hills Dante
- Senorita Margarita
- Trigonometry
- Spunky Brewster
- Captain Awesome
- Peanut Von Strudel
- Raising A. Ruckus
- Flash T. Trousers
And for cats:
- Pico de Gato
- Dingleberry
- Dumpster Kitty
- Schnickelfritz
- Koobenfarben
- Sassy Pants Huska
- Vincent Van Furrball
- Kitty Gaga
- Beefra

- Cuddles McCracken
- Slim Pickens

So....what about you. Have you ever had any pets with strange names?
