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.

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. :)

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...
