Oxymoron pet names Anonymous
Here's a question I've been meaning to ask /an/, how many of you have pet names that don't make any sense? I own a couple cats and most of them have names that really don't fit them. The most out of place one is Itty Bity. I raised this cat from a kitten under the name Dimitri, but it didn't stick. Me and my family noticed how small he was threw-out most of his kitten and young adult phase, so he gradually became known as "itty bity". However, after about a year he exploded becoming the biggest cat that I have ever known (not quite as big as the cat in the pic). Anyways what names do you guys have for pets that are out of place?

Well, we named one of our cats Santeri (male name derived from Alexander), and then it turned out that the reason he had so unusually large nipples was because he was a she.

I have a cat who's half tom, half abyssinian so he's really skinny. He's about 9 pounds, maybe less. And because of both breeds, he's really friendly/people-oriented.

Named him Tank.

Bonus: Mom named him that.

My cats names are Rin and Mishu. Mishu initially meant nothing, it was just a cute name that my mother-in-law gave her, but after some very rough Japanese translation, it turns out that it could be Swordmaster (or fruitmaster...) Rin means companion, which obnoxiously fits her though.

Mishu is downright emo. We call her Spawn cat, not only is she fuzzy and black, but she really only appears out of hiding after about 8 or 9pm.

My previous manager at a 'Mart of Pets-peddling whom was asian-american once referred to one of the jailcats (kenneled adoptees) as "biggie smalls" when it was quite obese. At the time, I didn't get it.

I have a habit of naming my pets after strange, inanimate, or random things. I once named an asseritive female guinea pig "The Governer", with the intended (and sucessful) result that my politically-minded father didn't mind that I brought an unwanted pest into our home, and even grew close to her.
Also, Anon here chooses male names for females - Dwane, Mervin, etc...

in before the chihuahua named "Killer" and other lame klee-shays

My dog is named Johnny C, jointly after Johnny Cash and Johnny C. (The latter is the title character from "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.")

He's actually a pretty mellow, loving and well behaved fellow. He herds our cats.

All of my fish are named fluffy. It started when I was a toddler, and my first fish was a beta. I named him Fluffy because I thought his fins looked fluffy, I guess.

I'm on Fluffy 18 now.

I have a snake named Hatshepsut, first female Pharaoh of Egypt. She's rather docile and uninterested in most anything. My cat is named Dante. He does not get led through hell, nor does he appear in Devil May Cry.

I'm still contemplating taking a new kitten. I want him to be completely black. And I'm going to name him Whitey.

The reason for this is of course a white cat called Blacky...

I had a rat named Jenner, after the villain from Secret of Nimh. He was fat, lazy, cuddly, predominantly white, and lacked wild eyebrows.

I've got a starling named Spock, and we suspect its female (she gets on better with men, which is sometimes a sign of gender in birds). "Good girl, Spock? Want another cricket?" It does sound weird to say out loud.

We also have a budgie named Zombie, which makes no sense to people who don't know his story. He was a real mess when we first got him, some other bird at the breeder's had plucked out most of his head feathers and ripped off part of his scalp (yeah, you can see the bone). He also has no toes. We still have him 2 years later, which is kinda cool, funny and sad all at once.

Got an African clawed frog called Lunchbox and she's a fat ass. We also have a bunch of fish in the kitchen named Humbert Cumberdanes, Marjorie Stewart-Baxter and Salad Face. Fans of Salad Fingers & Jerry Jackson will understand.

I had four kittens once which i named roadkill, dogfood, fishbait and plue. Plue was the only one who lived to adulthood. The rest was either crush by a car, bitten by a dog or fell into the drain and drowned. T.T

I worked at a pet store once where we named one of the lovebirds Hitler. It got the name from being the meanest bird I've ever met. I've known wild-caught parrots I was less afraid of than that little pink and green bird.

I've also had a pair of budgies called Trudeau and Castro. They'd make out all the time. Although I should have called the male (Castro) Jean Chretien on account of his crooked beak.

Had a goldfish I got when I was little and as a joke my parents named it 'Quickie' because they were sure it was going to die fast, it's a fish after all.

I still have it, it's been in the same tank for almost 14 years now. It just won't die. My parents want the tank to be empty so they can put in exotic fish but I'm not getting rid of Quickie.

I named my black cat 'Angel'. And whenever I take her to my folks' house, she becomes an absolute brat. A lot of hissing, clawing, and bolting about the house. Get back to my apartment? Lap kitteh.
