20+ Twitter Users Shared Amusing Stories About Their Pets’ Names

For people who love their pets as if they were their children, deciding on a name for them can call for some serious creativity with no limits, and a thread on Twitter started by @mushenska is proof of this. There, users shared their own stories and some that they witnessed from friends in which a pet’s name stole the show.

Bright Side collected some of the best and somewhat quirky stories about crazy pet names.

• I once met a tiny dog wearing a t-shirt in a bar and his name was JPEG, like the image format. © cefmac94 / Twitter

• Years ago, I took Kirsty, one of our family chickens, to the vet. They called out “Kirsty Davies” several times while I sat there holding a chicken wondering which woman in the waiting room had the same surname as me. © jendavies / Twitter

• My cats are called Badger and Hedgehog, named by the rescue organization who caught them as ferals at a wildlife sanctuary. As a consequence, I have the world’s most confused 18-month-old child 😀 © TilsLatimer / Twitter

• We had a black cat named Purple which resulted in a preschool-age cousin arguing with her teacher about the colors being named wrong. 😂 © mrymsdq / Twitter

• My favorite was a cat named Evil. And at my vet, they call the pet name with the owner’s surname, so it sounded like, “Evil? Evil Jones?” © redwellyfeats / Twitter

• I once went to the vet and there was a dog there named Satan. It sounded really funny when the owners were calling him cheerfully. © eden2636 / Twitter

• My grandfather had 2 dogs named Guess and Askem, which was funny when someone asked, “What are your dog’s names?” © dayslikethese / Twitter
