The evolution of pet nicknames

My cats called croker as in Charlie croker

He’s also know as dangerous beans and beads for some reason.

The dogs Geoff…  so Geoffrey bubbles bon bon is shortned to bubbles. He aslo gets called mush by the other half.

However I’ve started calling him professor floppycock for no good reason and I’m wandering what bizarre names have your pets have got….?

Our stupid dog is called Cooper (or Cupar).   I’ve always called him Coupons instead, but my son has bent that into Goopons.

My daughter calls him Jefferson or Mr Jefferson Grooves.

Poppy: Poppy doodle doo, Poppy doodles, Poopington, Popsy, Schnoodles, Popsicle
Jake: Jacob, Jakey Woodles, Mr Woodles, Jeggy, The Jeg, Bellend, Jaccrington Stanley

Bubbles bon bon is a funny one – when I was a kid we had an Alsation called Ben and my dad called him Benji bobbles bon bon. I never could work out why (because as you can see from above, all of our current dog names are entirely logical!).

Our Dog is called Oakley.

Also known as: the barking bastard, Mr. Shouty, Chubber Chubbs, Captain fat pants, (and derivations thereof  ‘pants’ being the most common), Fuzzer Wuzzer, Piggy Pink-nose, Sausage, Stinky-Sausage, Terrible Beast, and dickhead.

I’m certain there are many more that I can’t conjure to mind right now.

Dog named “Lola” -> Lolly -> Lollypop*

AKA

Floppy-eared-loon-hound

AKA

Waggy-arse

AKA

Hairy-face

*This has led to our cat Oscar being known as Oscarpop

I’ve got in to the habit of referring to our Spaniel as “the idiot”.

On the other hand, the cat is known to me as “dickhead”.

Jack Russell called Colin

For no particular reason hes either Colin, collywobbles, cock-wobbler, wobbler, wobbles or amy whine-arse.

My mum uses the same pet-name for the dogs soft toys as my OH uses for her lady-bits.

Obviously I find listening to my parents conversations with their dog absolutely hilarious as a result.

We foster guide dogs, the last one was called Sienna, dog names should be 2 syllables max, and she had floppy inside out ears (short haired GSD / lab cross)  so she became Dobby.

My mum uses the same pet-name for the dogs soft toys as my OH uses for her lady-bits.

you cant just leave that there……

One of our cats is called Che Guevara, but he has a number of aliases

My dog is called Sandy, we also call her Sandra or Sandrew. one of my BIL’s is called Andy so it got a bit confusing when we first got her and we said we would need to call him Andrew when the dogs around, but then someone said or call the the dog Sandrew! It was hilarious, as you can imagine.

I knew someone years ago that called there dog Oi. And Norman the percusionist from UB40 (my mum new them) had a dog called ‘shit head’ once!

However I’ve started calling him professor floppycock for no good reason

Are you sure this is the dog?

I’m collating a list of answers to your website security questions.

I’ve got in to the habit of referring to our Spaniel as “the idiot”.

We have “the ginger idiot.”  This is her right now:

Norman the percusionist from UB40 (my mum new them) had a dog called ‘shit head’ once!

Katy Perry had a cat named Kitty Purry.  Past tense, she died age 15 a few years ago.  The cat, that is.

Enzo -> Benzo -> Bingo-benzo -> Pauwel Sauzens Benzo

Or just ‘Ben-zoooooo’ in the style of the childhood cartoon ‘Jum-booooo’

All of which cause me endless amusement, rest of the family (and no doubt Enzo himself) less-so 😂

Oscar gets:

Oscy

Oscar Bear

Bear

Official Name: Mike Meowoski (a mono vision tuxedo rescue cat )

AKA: Mikester, Mikeymoos, The Mooster, The Reverend Meowski and you little *****  when he’s in full **** mode

Official Name: Munchkin (another tuxedo rescue with a hint of something oriental, meows like Kenneth Williams)

AKA: Munchie, Munch-a-tron, and Mayhem

Official Name: Luna ( super fluffy calico cat also a rescue)

AKA: LunaBuna, Loons, the Dandelion of rage (she goes from cute and fluffy to a puffball of fuzz, fury and absolute destruction when she sees any another cat than the two buffoons she lives with)

We really must stop being mates with folks who foster rescue animals and give us all the difficult ones because we have the time and space to give them a home and help then recover from their past.

We have a dog called Toffee. My wife calls her Toff-Pot. My wife has just realised what other word ‘Toff-Pot’ sounds like and has stopped calling her it when out for walks.

My sister’s Springer Spaniel is called Mabel.

For reasons around her being a 4-legged hoover as far as food is concerned, this can also be MabelPig, Pig, Piggy and Fatty Fatty Bum Bum which my sister’s young kids find hilarious.

Our lovely sweet little Border which didn’t make it through his cancer op last week. 10yrs old. Too young for a Border. Was Sonic, sonicator or Mr Sonic. Much missed.

Shadow our Patterdale is Shad or more usually the Patterdevil or the Twaterdale…

On the other hand, the cat is known to me as “dickhead”.

I guarantee you that one goes both ways 😉

Our dog is called Eric.

He has 2 scoops of kibble for his dinner and so he started being call 2 Scoops. This evolved to just Scoops and is now either Mr Scoops, or on formal occasions, Sir Scoopington.

Had a Patterdale terrier called Paddy. When he was bad he got called Patrick obviously. He knew the difference.

Peggy> Peglet> Peggles > Piglet> Weglet> Pegatha> Baggins

Our cat is called Sullivan. Shortened to Sully. But he’s always referred to as Mr Bumby or The Bumby because he bumbies around.
No one in the house knows what bumbying is but Mr Bumby definitely does it all the time.

We have no clear recollection of when Sully became Mr Bumby – it’s all quite odd 😃

Cat – Hobbes = fuzzbucket
(See Calvin and Hobbes for both name and nickname)

Doesn’t matter what we call our dog, she only pays attention when she wants something.

I have two cats, sisters, both completely black. Bonnie and Bianca. (Names bestowed by Cats’ Protection)

Bonnie is nicknamed Podge.

Bianca is nicknamed Scruff.

I think these are fairly self-explanatory.

Luna aka Lunes, Loonles, Doodles, Doodle doo, Lunatic, Loony Legs/Loony Long Legs and Lumpy legs.

Cat 1. Tyger aka Tyges, Tygles, Tiggles, Tigster, El Tigre and El Presidente.

Cat 2. Moose aka Senor Alces.

Dog #1- Misty, aka Misty Moo, M- Dog, recently named Little Old Lady as she’s now 7, Grumpy Bear (due to calling Dog #3 Little Bear), Scuzzlebutt, Barky Boo-Boo

Dog#2 Nutmeg, aka Meg Mog (short for Meg Mog the Inpossible Dog) Stinky Bear (fondness for foxpoo), Mad Meg (she’s our ADHD dog)

Dog #3 Winnie ( being a cocker poo – Winnie the Poo). As she’s the littlest she gets called Little Bear why the Bear suffix has spread the the other 2. She’s a bit tubby so is also Lumpy Bear. Little Poo, Winnie Woo.

Cat- Eddie, or Eddie T Cat (T stands for The), Eduardo (per my Spanish nephews). Now he’s about 13 (we adopted him so actual age is unknown) he’s Old Boy.

Most of Henry’s nicknames follow the same basic pattern as those above. When he’s being an arsehole, I call him Ollie Muirs because he’s a Troublemaker.

Most of the time butter wouldn’t melt…

Our dog is Chewie. Also known as the Chewster, Chewbie Doob, Dickhead, Doggo, Doggo Wotsit, furry bastard and the **** dog.

Cat’s name was Rumble. The other half called him Diablo.

My patterdale was known as ktd for **** the dog.  Frogdog and snuffle pig.  She was called ruby so work that out.

My Patterdale is called Ren, or Rendog, or Rendogmillionaire, or Woofer, or Wooferson, or Twatterdale

Oh yeah,

A mate’s cat earned the nickname Cooking Fat.

you cant just leave that there……

That’s what she said

My cat Tolstoy is affectionately known as ‘dickhead’. His sister Natalya gets off lightly with ‘tallywag’, or ‘fatty’.

Ted our Old English Sheepdog amongst other things used to get called Boogie Bear or Boogs as ocasionally after getting too excited would walk round thrusting his hips and looking around the place like a perv in a disco. Piggle after jumping in to my folks pig pen and playing in the “mud”, luckily only up to his elbows.
