People Are Sharing The Names They Now Call Their Pets Instead Of The Original One, And It’s Hilarious
Just like when naming a baby, a great deal of care and thought normally goes into choosing what you'll be yelling at your furry friend for years to come. In practice, however, most of us just end up calling them whatever comes to mind over the years, and at some point realize that those nicknames have actually become their identity.
Twitter user @MooseAllain recently shared the unfortunate moniker their pet was doomed to carry, and sparked a chain reaction of other animal owners confessing how their companions' names 'evolved' as time went on.
It's one of those truly pure and delightfully hilarious moments on the Internet that just makes you want to tune everything else out for a short while and have a giggle.
Scroll down to see what people are really calling their pets, and let us know what you're guilty of dubbing yours. (h/t)

Someone isn’t editing in the names maybe? Ok so Cutie, strangers would call him Cutie and as I don’t know him personally, Cutie he is. If he lived somewhere in Scotland, older gentlemen on the streets would call him Laddie ‘Och Laddie ..” so a cute dog - Scoot Moot Mcboot (Boots for short) and from bout 5 years of age you will probably call him Sweetie.

Pet Names Got Weird
After returning a couple of dogs to their owner after they got loose. We ended up in a weird situation. Apparently the owner of one of the dogs had moved out of the house. The people who owned the other dog basically took their dog back in and refused to take the other one that had be left. We ended up taking the dog in even though I didn't want another one. So I convinced my family to call her Olive. It was my way of acting out as olive spelled backwards is EvilO. Hehe. I didn't disclose the fact to my family for a couple of months. So now she goes by Olive and EvilO. :)
Or she can be "Olive the other reindeer" which I love!
Load More Replies...I have a dog and she has a long name that she had when we got her, it's Lisa Left Eye Lopes (because she can only see out of her left eye) and it have evolved so much ove the span of just a year. Lisa > Li-Li > Li-Li Lishee > Lishee > Leeshoo > Leeshoobert > Shoebert > Shoe. That's literally her nickname now, just Shoe

I also had a lovebird named Rainbow Duck Tape (Because I was a dumb child) who I called Bow. And a tortoise named Twyla Ellie who I called Twy-Twy or Twy.
OK, I am sorry but I need to add mine. My German Shepherd's name was Orco Kukus Ku Munen Alumunen Platapatch Flinimis Hule Aleman Finduilas

Ursa Minor > Little Bear > ffs Little Bear as he wipes out everything in the house running round like a nutter forgetting to put on the brakes and hitting the coffee table with his head ( coffee table been their before he wasa twinkle)
We had many cats growing up. We found a kitten which mom thought was female so she named her Sophie. She was funny and quirky. She wasn't weened so she suckled at our tomcat's nipples. She also turned out to be a boy. At which point mom changed his name to Tophie. Our dog's name was Inox. (Short for Inoxidable, stainless steel in French) We didn't pick the name. He was a pedigreed Beauceron born in the year of "I"s, and was given to us by the farmer who raised him when he was 3 because he wouldn't herd. My sister and I were 7 and 8 when we got him. We shortened his name to all sorts of ridiculous things because we thought it was hilarious. Titoc, Ninoc, Minox, Tippitoc. And he answered to all of them! He also learned to herd children very quickly.
My dog is Sadie, Sadie the shady lady.stinkface. Dippy doodle. Ding a ling. Baaaaby! Bebe. Nut, dumb dumb. Bat tramp.gingervitis. Tramp. Nosy Parker. Fucerton the 3rd. And good pup!!

I have a chihuahua named Toby but we call him Tobyucas (Toby-uck-iss) and two cats named Bella-ucas and Coco-butter who is also an Ucas at times.
My dog was named Jordie. But I ended up calling him: Mr. Nose Lips. WELL THEY DO HAVE "Nose-Lips" now, don't they?? We also had a cat named Peanut. Guess what her named turned into? Penis.
My schipperke's formal name is Bonaparte (schips are from Belgium, some guys had bad luck there), but he's almost always called Bono, which confuses people, to say the least. My current cat is Kat, short for Katisha, a character in The Mikado. Instead of calling her kitty cat I call her Kat kitty.
Our cat is named Nook but she is also commonly referred to as Taco, Tacobelle, Babycat, Biscuit, Saucy Pants, Prissy Paws, and Bunny. She responds to all of them.
Have a dachshund officially named Frankfurt. We started calling him sausage, then saus, sometimes even sausosaurus, now its masausau. He answers to none.
My cats are Pants (real name Pan), Flufflebutt (originally known as Amber, also known as Miss Moo, Moodie - to rhyme with hoodie, and Mooss to rhyme with Puss), and Tigs/Stripeybutt (Tigger). My dog is Bells or Doofus, sometimes "Oi geddoudofit" or "Leave it" (original name Bella).
Two cats: Scout=Scouty=Scoutypants=Scoutron=Scouticus=She of the Butterscotch Belly Stephanie=Penelope/Penny=pronounced "Penn-a-lope"
We had a dog named Digger. We then started calling him Double D, which stood for Damn Dog, Dippy Dog, Digger Dog, and Dopey Dog, to name a few. We also had a pure white cat that's name was Spot--we called her "Spot the Cow Cat" because when she got a little older and heavier her belly would swing from side to side like an udder when she was running.
My dog is named Despereaux, but she answers to Princess and Crazy Pants
Our cat Trouble is real really not, so we mostly call him Bubble. Have a friend who named his orange cat Agent.

Our dog is called Ace. We call him A**e half the time. Our friends dog is called Bear so when they are on the oval we call out Bear A**e
My snake, Reptar The Legless Miniature Dinosaur, is more commonly known as FatShit Snake, Chublord, and Fatty DingDong.
We named our bichon/poodle "Snickers". When he was a pup, his coat was chocolate brown and caramel. My wife calls him "Snick" or "Snickerdoodle". So now I sometimes refer to him as "Snickerdoodle the Wonder Poodle".
My cat is named Toby. Toby Wan Kinobe in case there is a cat show in her future...
My cat Lita was also known as "the Queen" and I have no doubt that more people's cats have this nickname
Dog number 1 is called roxy but we call her so many other names; poxy, toxy, roxy poxy, floxemeister, meister, schatje patatje (which translates to cutie french fry), poppetje (doll), liefie (sweety), monster,
Omg I hate when I accidently press the send button. Dog number 2 is called whisky but also goes by wiss, wissie pissie, fatty macfat fat, bruine drol (brown turd), choco, poopie. As you may have noticed she is brown and a bit fat!
Load More Replies...Oh another story: I named one of my dogs "Lost", because we found him in the woods. One day he got loose. When I created the Lost poster it got a little confusing. "My dog Lost is Lost. If found..." Another time he got loose, and the people who found him didn't know what to call him because his dog collar tag said, "Lost" and then my number.
I got a Siamese kitten, not wanting a cutesy name for such a macho cat I named him Jack. A couple of years later after looking at some of my furniture, it changed to Jack the Ripper. Still love him. Please don't send any helpful hints. Tried them all and it's to late for the furniture.
Our 2 cats, Mega Joules and Sunday. Mega Joules ends up going by Joules, Meat Ball or Sausage and Sunday ends up being Mr. Cow or Moo Moo. We also have a parrot, Max, also known as Boo Boo, Chicken, Mommy's baby dragon or Raptor.
We had a stray cat make itself at home in our garden once. I warned my daughters that he/she was very "skittish" and to be quiet and gentle. My oldest one misheard me. And that's how we ended up with a cat called "British" for a while.
My dog's name is Lilly but we call her Puppers, Wigglehabuttskus, Pupper pup, shitsenheimer, Lillers and other I may have forgotten.
My boy Bilbo was named Belle in a previous life. He is gleefully named 'B*****d' by the neighbours!
My dog Scrappy is also known as Scrapster, Scrappy-do, Scrapunzel, and Bohemian Scrapsody. Don't worry, be Scrappy:)
My rabbits name is Paco. Call him Paquito, Kito, Paqelito, The clump, Grunty Mcgee, Piggy and Bebisen (which means The baby). My cat is named Pisica and I mostly just call her "missen" (which basically means "kitty") because that's what her actual name means anyway lol. I also call her Bebisen (the baby) , cat butt, the butt and "Piggy" (Because I got used to calling Paco that so now that I got a cat that transfered to her as well lol)
We've got two cats. My wife named the first one Dexter and as a kitten, everything scared him. It started by saying "Ahhh, Muffin" anytime he got scared. Ahhh, Muffin changed to Muffins and finally English Muffins. Our second cat went from Princess Buttercup to Butters to Butter to Peanut Butter.
My cat is Jack. Also known as Little Buddy, Booger Boy, Pooka, Ooga-Booga, and Twit Face. His sister, Myst (aka Missy, Missy-Moo, Miss Kitt, and Fluff-Bum), mostly just calls him Hsssss! :)
I was pleasantly surprised NOT to see Doggy McDogface or any variation thereof on the list.
My cat was Miss Kitty, which turned into Amanda Blake (Actress from Gunsmoke who played Miss Kitty) And ended up as just Amanda.
My dog's name went from "Nugget" to "Nug Nug" and then to Nug nug nug , nug nug nug nuggie nuggie nug sang to the nickelodeon theme song. (go ahead sing it your head, you know you wanna)
I have several cats. The oldest (13) is a Siamese called Mixa ("mee-sha"). We call her Mimi, Mini, Minimí, Pitimini, Piti, Gatarata ("Ratcat"), Mixeta, Minina, Mina, Miximini, Miximinini... She basically responds to anything that has "Mi" in it.
When my ex got a dog he named her Kush after his favorite pass time and he began calling her kushie. Within 3 days I told him I couldn't continue to call her that and banned her princess. After him an I broke up I took her given I paid thousands for a life saving surgery. Now she is known not only as princess but also nar nar, princess piggy, princess p, and spoiled @$$. Her sister is Shelia, Sheshe, Shebee and Shebees. Brother Rufus, ru, ruru, woo, woowoo, ruga, and rugala.
My girlfriend's dog was named Chucky after the antagonist in the film Child's Play. He also has a second name, Jason, after Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th. So we call him Chucky Jason or Chucks or Pooch. We've also called him Bastuso and for some reason, went through a period were he was called Bepanthen
i am sooo frustrated now as my cats' names are in italian and the puns would be lost if translated in english! i'm glad to know i'm not the only one tho :D
I know the worst thing to do to a joke or pun is explain it, but we would love to hear your cats' names! (plus why they are a pun :'D)
Load More Replies...LOL. We spent our 10 hour trip from Hungary to Bulgaria in searching of the best name for a male pem corgi pup. First, we wanted to call him Mavrud (because he's red). Then, for almost two hours he was Rudy(shortened from Mavrud). After that he became Radar, then Rotor, later he was Jango, in 45 minutes he was once again Rudy, he quickly became Misho(shortened from Michael in Bulgaria), when we crossed the Serbian border he was Tori, after half an hour he became Marko and when we were 120 miles from home, he became Argus(Harry Potter reference) and shortly, Argo. Now he's got tons of nicknames (he's commonly known as Lis, shortened from the Bulgarian word for fox, or Gruhin, which actually means Grunter) but Argo is the name we use while we train him. And when I think that the first name the breeder gave him was Spiderman...
Carson’s independence Brown became Independence became indy became doo doo brain. Fiona apricot became Foonana and then Foonana, make way make way (because the kids call the movie “Monana”) and the kids are all sorts of things (bug nugget, booboodoo, doodles, noodles, poomply, bug, poops, action Jackson flaxion waxion...)

We had a dog named Digger. We then started calling him Double D, which stood for Damn Dog, Dippy Dog, Digger Dog, and Dopey Dog, to name a few. We also had a pure white cat that's name was Spot--we called her "Spot the Cow Cat" because when she got a little older and heavier her belly would swing from side to side like an udder when she was running.
My dog is named Despereaux, but she answers to Princess and Crazy Pants
Our cat Trouble is real really not, so we mostly call him Bubble. Have a friend who named his orange cat Agent.

We named our bichon/poodle "Snickers". When he was a pup, his coat was chocolate brown and caramel. My wife calls him "Snick" or "Snickerdoodle". So now I sometimes refer to him as "Snickerdoodle the Wonder Poodle".
My cat is named Toby. Toby Wan Kinobe in case there is a cat show in her future...
My cat Lita was also known as "the Queen" and I have no doubt that more people's cats have this nickname

Load More Replies...Oh another story: I named one of my dogs "Lost", because we found him in the woods. One day he got loose. When I created the Lost poster it got a little confusing. "My dog Lost is Lost. If found..." Another time he got loose, and the people who found him didn't know what to call him because his dog collar tag said, "Lost" and then my number.
I got a Siamese kitten, not wanting a cutesy name for such a macho cat I named him Jack. A couple of years later after looking at some of my furniture, it changed to Jack the Ripper. Still love him. Please don't send any helpful hints. Tried them all and it's to late for the furniture.
Our 2 cats, Mega Joules and Sunday. Mega Joules ends up going by Joules, Meat Ball or Sausage and Sunday ends up being Mr. Cow or Moo Moo. We also have a parrot, Max, also known as Boo Boo, Chicken, Mommy's baby dragon or Raptor.
We had a stray cat make itself at home in our garden once. I warned my daughters that he/she was very "skittish" and to be quiet and gentle. My oldest one misheard me. And that's how we ended up with a cat called "British" for a while.
My dog's name is Lilly but we call her Puppers, Wigglehabuttskus, Pupper pup, shitsenheimer, Lillers and other I may have forgotten.
My boy Bilbo was named Belle in a previous life. He is gleefully named 'B*****d' by the neighbours!
My dog Scrappy is also known as Scrapster, Scrappy-do, Scrapunzel, and Bohemian Scrapsody. Don't worry, be Scrappy:)
My rabbits name is Paco. Call him Paquito, Kito, Paqelito, The clump, Grunty Mcgee, Piggy and Bebisen (which means The baby). My cat is named Pisica and I mostly just call her "missen" (which basically means "kitty") because that's what her actual name means anyway lol. I also call her Bebisen (the baby) , cat butt, the butt and "Piggy" (Because I got used to calling Paco that so now that I got a cat that transfered to her as well lol)
We've got two cats. My wife named the first one Dexter and as a kitten, everything scared him. It started by saying "Ahhh, Muffin" anytime he got scared. Ahhh, Muffin changed to Muffins and finally English Muffins. Our second cat went from Princess Buttercup to Butters to Butter to Peanut Butter.
My cat is Jack. Also known as Little Buddy, Booger Boy, Pooka, Ooga-Booga, and Twit Face. His sister, Myst (aka Missy, Missy-Moo, Miss Kitt, and Fluff-Bum), mostly just calls him Hsssss! :)
I was pleasantly surprised NOT to see Doggy McDogface or any variation thereof on the list.
My cat was Miss Kitty, which turned into Amanda Blake (Actress from Gunsmoke who played Miss Kitty) And ended up as just Amanda.
My dog's name went from "Nugget" to "Nug Nug" and then to Nug nug nug , nug nug nug nuggie nuggie nug sang to the nickelodeon theme song. (go ahead sing it your head, you know you wanna)
I have several cats. The oldest (13) is a Siamese called Mixa ("mee-sha"). We call her Mimi, Mini, Minimí, Pitimini, Piti, Gatarata ("Ratcat"), Mixeta, Minina, Mina, Miximini, Miximinini... She basically responds to anything that has "Mi" in it.
When my ex got a dog he named her Kush after his favorite pass time and he began calling her kushie. Within 3 days I told him I couldn't continue to call her that and banned her princess. After him an I broke up I took her given I paid thousands for a life saving surgery. Now she is known not only as princess but also nar nar, princess piggy, princess p, and spoiled @$$. Her sister is Shelia, Sheshe, Shebee and Shebees. Brother Rufus, ru, ruru, woo, woowoo, ruga, and rugala.
My girlfriend's dog was named Chucky after the antagonist in the film Child's Play. He also has a second name, Jason, after Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th. So we call him Chucky Jason or Chucks or Pooch. We've also called him Bastuso and for some reason, went through a period were he was called Bepanthen
i am sooo frustrated now as my cats' names are in italian and the puns would be lost if translated in english! i'm glad to know i'm not the only one tho :D
I know the worst thing to do to a joke or pun is explain it, but we would love to hear your cats' names! (plus why they are a pun :'D)
Load More Replies...LOL. We spent our 10 hour trip from Hungary to Bulgaria in searching of the best name for a male pem corgi pup. First, we wanted to call him Mavrud (because he's red). Then, for almost two hours he was Rudy(shortened from Mavrud). After that he became Radar, then Rotor, later he was Jango, in 45 minutes he was once again Rudy, he quickly became Misho(shortened from Michael in Bulgaria), when we crossed the Serbian border he was Tori, after half an hour he became Marko and when we were 120 miles from home, he became Argus(Harry Potter reference) and shortly, Argo. Now he's got tons of nicknames (he's commonly known as Lis, shortened from the Bulgarian word for fox, or Gruhin, which actually means Grunter) but Argo is the name we use while we train him. And when I think that the first name the breeder gave him was Spiderman...
Carson’s independence Brown became Independence became indy became doo doo brain. Fiona apricot became Foonana and then Foonana, make way make way (because the kids call the movie “Monana”) and the kids are all sorts of things (bug nugget, booboodoo, doodles, noodles, poomply, bug, poops, action Jackson flaxion waxion...)
