There is something unique about the funny pet names we give to our four-legged companions. They might sound insulting to those passing by, but to the pet owners, they are special. Plenty of funny animal names try to put a smile on people's faces. However, the line between cringe and funny is thin, so it's important to think about the name beforehand. The funny names for pets we create are not always as hilarious as we think.
The good thing with many hilarious pet names — we understand them quite perfectly and get a laugh out of them, while our four-legged companions don’t. Unlike with a child’s name, we can be silly when naming our pets. Some funny dog names, like Big Dog and Glitter, seem ridiculous but suit quite perfectly for a pair of big, scary dogs. For the funny part of the name to stick, you have to play into the breed of the pet, its looks, and its personality.
If you are out of hilarious names to give your pet, you don’t have to search the whole internet. User Sigma_Rho asked the veterinarians of the AskReddit community about the hilarious names of pets they've heard. Below, we have compiled a list of the funniest pet names given by other users! Upvote the ones that put a smile on your face. On the other hand, if you’ve heard a hilarious name yourself, share it in the comments below.

Reminds me of the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous. Jesus Mary and Joseph, she's pregnant! Said in a midwestern/North Dakotan accent.

My son always wanted a dog but now X husband always forbid it. I ran with the children in August of 2005 when my son 5 years old. That Christmas, The x still had rights at the time, (he lost all rights 2 months later) had the kids the week before the holiday as the were out of school. I got him a miniature long haired dachshund. I didn't want to name her, I want to leave that up to my son so I just called her Fred. I picked up the kids on Christmas Eve. When we got home, my son flipped when he saw her. It was instant love on both sides. My son asked her name. I said he was to name her, but that I have just been calling her Fred. He cracked up. He hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. He said he loved it and that is how we got a female dog named Fred.

I had twin barn cats named Alpha and Omega, so as not to offend my deeply religious neighbors. I don’t think they ever caught on. Edit: it comes from scripture, “I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last”

My neighbor once had a cat named Oilcan. She was very old (at least 23) when I met her. She had a kind of gross coat (short haired but oily - I know, ironic), so I’d pet her with my garden gloves on. Apparently, nobody else really petted her, so she’d come to my house and meow incessantly until I did. Poor thing!.

Could also be just the alphabetic position - 11 1 10100. Still bonkers, either way

Oh god, this reminds me of my ex's naming conventions. He looks at whatever is on his desk and names game characters that. He wanted to name our kitten "Vicks" (VapoRub) and he used to call my Belgian Malinois (who was named Fenring) "Squats" for some reason.

"My dad's a vet. We've had a lot of cats named Hitler and Adolf and Auschwitz (from a Jewish couple), but the funniest has to be a class pet rabbit from a third grade teacher that the class named Milton Abernathy. I have NO idea why that was chosen, but it makes me giggle whenever I hear it. Runner up is a golden retriever named Chad."

Most of mine do. Charlie, Kuki, Phoebe, Stella, and Lola. Then we have Dusky and Storm. Though, to be fair, Phoebe's name is really spelled FB (fluffy butt, fuzzy belly, fur baby, I couldn't choose, so FB, so Phoebe).

"I work at a doggie daycare. We have had a mini aussie named Crowbar, a cavalier named Chanel No. 5, and a schnoodle named Mr. Pickles. Also, one client with the last name Crowe got her dog from a shelter and kept the name they gave him, which is Jim."

My current orange tabby is named His Royal Fuzziness, Samson Chester Marmalade Nimitz. He's a major character! If I'm in the kitchen doing ANYTHING, his favorite thing to do is a somersaulting flop onto the top of my feet.

I rescued and rushed an injured cat to a vet once. Poor thing lost its eye but the vet took care of the cat and got it back to health. One of the techs adopted him and named him Winky

I have had a beagle named Beagie, a yellow lab (almost white) who my dad named Farrah Fawcett because she was the prettiest blonde on the beach, and a really great mutt named Puppy Boy. Also, a rescued 3 legged cat that I named Tripod. Someone threw out an enormous orange Tomcat in front of the house (I live on a corner about a half mile from the nearest house, so people often drop animals there). First thing I said when I walked outside was "Dammit, not another cat!" I had Dammit for about 10 years. Several years after he passed, a tabby cat showed up, so I kept with the theme and she became DC (Damn Cat). I named my iguana Gomez, from the Adams Family. Had a rabbit named Easter. Raised a baby deer until he was off the bottle because the game warden couldn't find anyone licensed that could take him at the time. I named him Buck.

When we were teenagers, a friend was told she could not name her hamster Greebo after the one-eyed cat from Discworld, because that was cursing him. She called him Gizmo instead, and guess what happened to him anyway? (Apparently some kinds of hamster wheel are not actually safe for hamsters)

"NAV, but when I was growing up we had 20-30 cats at any given time. My brother was pretty abusive towards them (it was pretty traumatizing living the way we did, so please be forgiving ). Anyhow, we had wood floors and my bro would pile kittens up in front of the wall, take another kitten and slide them into the kitten pile and call it 'cat bowling'. Most cats would run away after being used as a bowling ball, but this one would run back to my brother and wait to be used as a ball again. I named him Stupid. Stupid was a sweet cat. He would endure anything for attention. He also drooled... a lot. One time my brother put rubber bands around his legs because he thought it was funny to see him bounce around and walk funny. Brother got bored of the game, Stupid ran off. He chewed through his leg to get the rubber band off and we had to get the leg amputated. After the amputation I became protective and Stupid became the only cat allowed in my room. One night I was petting Stupid and then stopped because I was drifting off to sleep. Stupid kept nudging me and I kept pushing him away. Then Stupid bit my nose and wouldn't let go. I jumped up screaming trying to shake him off. He wouldn't budge so I was bloody and screaming with a three-legged drooling cat named Stupid hanging from my nose."

Sounds like your house desperately needed a visit from child protective services and the SPCA. I hope you and those cats are in better environments now.

My Grandpa had dogs named, Dammit and Get Off. Get Off was originally named Freeway because he was found wandering the freeway, but he'd say "Dammit, get off!" to get them off the porch steps. I can't remember what Dammit's chosen name was because I was excited to get to curse ;)

When I had first adopted one of my dogs as a puppy he had a runny nose. He wasn't sick, vet thoroughly checked him, but his nose just dripped all the time so he got nicknamed Booger. We call him by his regular name as well as Booger and Booger evolved into a few forms which include Boogie, Boogboog and Mr. Boogman

An iguana named icabod. Dog's name is Mr. Bean. Wolf named Mama Bear. Raven named Squack. The wild roadrunners my grandma fed were all named Charlie and the bobcat was Bobbie. My son's tuxedo cat is Oreo, but I call her Trice Stuffed because she's a chonk... so many more, but those are just a few of the menagerie of pets we've had.
