my science teacher in middle school always told us about how if he ever got a dog, he would name it "i don't have a dog" and go to dog parks yelling "i don't have a dog" making it look like he was stealing other peoples dogs and playing mind tricks on people who asked what his dogs name was.
@gamingpotato honestly, it wouldnt surprise me. super cool dude, but if he turned out to be a super villain i think my reaction would be: yeah that checks out
My little brother had a fish named Dog. When my parents adopted a dog, we really wanted to name her Fish. Sadly, my mom refused on the grounds that she wasn't going to be running up and down the road having the neighbors hear her yelling"Fish!" at her dog. So we comprised. Her name is Salmon, Sammy for short so the neighbors can all think she's named something reasonable like Samantha.
I’ve got a cat named Arson. It’s because when he was a kitten he did everything in his power to knock over lit candles. If an arsonist isn’t menacing enough, he’s a Norwegian Forest Cat (a large breed) and nearly as big as a medium sized dog. He’s not fully grown. Little tiger WILL come and burn down your house. Edit: Considering naming my next cat “Defenestration”.
@@usertedi A cool thing about being named Arson is the O can be replaced with any vowel and it still sounds the same like “Arsin” and “Arsun” which speak for themselves, or “Arsan” (the ‘an’ word be like in the word ‘another’) or “Arsen” and “Arsyn” and you could make fun of everyone for not giving their pet as cool of a name as you did. (“Arson spelt with any other letter” is a joke I make far too much.)
For what it's worth, my parents had a dog named "Coupon". I'm still baffled to this day that any of us former kids allowed Mom and Dad to give him that name.
There was a dog that got lost in our neighborhood a few years back named "Little Girl" and all I could think about was the owners going around outside yelling "LITTLE GIIIRL WHEEERE ARE YOOOU!?" Little Girl was thankfully found and brought home safe after about a week. She was found at the neighborhood playground, which is hilariously fitting.
My aunt has a cat named Little Girl. Not sure exactly how old she is, but I'd say she isn't that little. She also owns a cat named Molly, who I'm pretty sure shares a name with another (very different, both in appearance and in behavior) cat she had had who had died before Molly II was brought into the house, and she also used to have a cat that she named Lily before she found out that he was a boy.
my boyfriend and I have mutually agreed that we will only give our future pets the dumbest of names, and the first of them will most likely be Matt, short for Mattress
i had a dog named Rodie (Road-e) and he had to be put down because of health issues. when i get another dog it will be named Pavie (Pave-e) short for Pavement. i have a female cat named Momo currently and when i get another cat it will be a male and will be named Omom.
@@blackdragonrandomness3989 My family took in a pregnant cat and her litter, my brother had already named her Double Stuff (like the Oreos, she is ginger with green eyes and a white belly lol), and the kittens Dehrs, Blehrs, and Shmers. He also named a couple other stray cats we have hanging around Earl as in Earl Grey (like the tea) and Porchini (the mushroom). Meanwhile, I've named some Poki (like the snack), Americano (like the coffee), and Portabello (also a mushroom). My family feeds the local stray cats in the neighborhood and we also are working on trying to catch them and get them spayed/neutered btw (we're planning on having the cats we've taken in spayed/neutered as soon as the kittens are fully weened and ready to be adopted). I offer Dreamsicle and Cookies 'n' Cream as new names for any future feline pets.
Reminds me of the time I went to an animal shelter, and there was a hamster up for adoption. It’s name was “sweet potato” But that was too long and it was shortened to “Weet potat” I still laugh hysterically thinking about it to this day
When I was a child we had a cat that my little sister and I named "Abby." Doesn't sound too bad until you know her full name was "Abbreviation." Because before we got her, she had gotten her tail caught in a door and was just fine except part of her tail had to be amputated and it was just a very odd length. We weren't really mean kids though - we adored her and she had a long happy life. Not holding any grudges on the rainbow bridge, I'm sure!
I remember my dad always joked about getting a dog and naming it "DAMN IT!!" so when we are out on walks with it, we have to scream "DAMN IT, SIT DOWN. DAMN IT, HEEL." Edit: He also found the idea of his children screaming "DAMN IT" out in the yard, very entertaining.
I have 12 rats all named after pastas. One of my rats went to the vets recently and her medication bottle says Baytril for Macaroni. I love the implication that I should add antibiotics to my pasta bake. If you're wondering, her sister's names are Gnocchi, Farfalle, Rigatoni, Conchiglie, Penne, Spaghetti, Orzo, Linguine, Tagliatelle, Lasagna and Ravioli. My three hamsters are called Lancashire Hot Pot, Chelsea Bun and Curd Tart. I have four mice all named after biscuits: Hobnob, Malted Milk, Bourbon and Maryland. My frog's name is Forg (just frog misspelled.) My other pets have normal names though.
@@BaldCoryxKenshinfanmy mom has this demon ass german shepard shes had since i was in middle school and when i was short enough to be on her level she used to bite my fucking balls randomly. I remember one time i was probably 13 and had to piss really bad and so i rushed to the bathroom and she bit my nuts when i was going down the hallway so i just was left stunlocked. Not like i didnt have pants on, shouldve clarified that. She would also go at my friends, boys, girls, didnt matter. As long as they were short enough
My cat had kittens, and one of them looked a lot like one of my other cats, Phoebe. She had fleas at one point (got it fixed don’t worry) so I named her Fleabe We took her to an animal shelter as we already had enough pets, and when they asked her name I panicked and said Pumpkin Her name is Pumpkin to this day
Me and my wife had hairless rats a few years ago. The male, who was bald, and albino. So bald and had red eyes. He had 3 names… Lucifer, Ball bag, and foreskin 😂 The female was simply “Mable” 😂
My cat, currently named Tuesday, was named Kim before we adopted her. My late cat Boris was Sergeant York. My current kitten Philo was Digby. He had a brother named Duster.
THERE ON THAT DAY SERGEANT YORK, ENTERED THE FRAY SAVING THE DAY 82ND ALL THE WAAAAY (apologies if you didn't get the reference but it's a song from the heavy metal band, Sabaton, called 82nd All The Way and it's about -your late cat- a man called 'Sergeant York')
My family has a very small black dog named Cerberus. He is the sweetest animal I have ever met. Vets constantly do double takes when they see “Cerberus” on their chart and imagine a mastiff or husky mix and then are greeted by an 11 pound animal who is being held in someone’s arms for comfort.
@@EllpaFox47 he does have one white spot under his collar. It was bigger when he was a puppy but he mostly grew out of it. His name is purely ironic tho. He was a bit of a runty puppy even by the standards of his very small breed when he got him and we all got a kick out of giving him the most intimidating name on our list after meeting him and seeing that he was 1 pound of shadow or less.
@@MrOtistetrax fully agreed, Once in a blue moon Cerberus actually tries to live up to his name and it’s ridiculous. Recently, mom rescued some runaway husky/german shepherd puppies and kept them on our deck until their owners could pick them up. Apparently, Cerberus was chill to hang out with the big babies until I came out there….and then he tried to protect me by starting a fight with two dogs 4x his size. I scooped him up and took him back inside before he actually attacked them but he was snarling and snapping like he was going to do it. Best we can figure, is that he sees me as a junior/vulnerable pack member and was acting as my “big brother” to protect me from the strange dogs. It kinda makes sense because I’m recovering from a serious head injury and he’s basically my emotional support dog in general. I’ve recovered a lot in the last 2 months, but I can see why Cerberus would think I’m unable to defend myself. It’s still ridiculous that he thought he could defend me, but his brain is the size of a walnut and I think that affects his decision making.
Story courtesy of my mum here. She was working as a vet when she was requested to help out a cat named Tonic. Upon further inquiry, she found out that the owner also had a cat named Gin who unfortunately died. You may have heard people saying "Don't name your pet anything you would feel stupid or get arrested for saying out loud". Well, I'm vouching to add a second rule in addition to the first one, that being this: Don't name your pet anything that doesn't make sense without the existence of another pet. Don't name your cats Pan and Cakes, because you're inevitably going to get people asking why your cat is named after a cooking utensil. Naming your dogs Eggs and Bacon isn't a great idea if you don't enjoy getting asked why you have a dog named Eggs. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
You should check out racehorses' names. Since there's a rule which states that names currently in use and similar names cannot be reused until five years after the horse using said name has retired from racing and breeding, they can get pretty original. For example, one of the winners of the Gran Premio Dardo Rocha race was called "¡Huiy!", which could be literally translated to "Ouch!". Another favourites of mine include "Maythehorsebewithu", "Whykickamoocow", "Nosupeforyou" and, of course, "Potoooooooo"
I was at the shelter looking to adopt a cat, and ended up really liking this friendly older brown tabby named Brownie. I decided it was easier to keep the name than try to teach an elderly cat a new one. Fast forward several months and my best friend went to the same shelter and adopted an orange and white tabby named Red. Unfortunately, Red didn't end up getting along with my friend's other cat (Red is very playful but the other cat is not), so I offered to take him as a friend for Brownie, who is also quite playful. Didn't really think much of it until I took them to the vet for routine checkups and saw their names on the receipt. My last name is Green. They're Brownie Green and Red Green.
Was coming here to say this, Mr. Fishtopher is a very happy little guy in a loving home now! Also his humans use his social media to help get other pets in need adopted.
My childhood dog, a sweet little basset hound, was named Butter Bean. For years, I thought it was a combo of her two favorite human foods, peanut butter and green beans (Green Peanut wasn't as appealing I assume). I only found out recently that it was also the name of a retired heavyweight fighter (MMA, boxing, wrestling, he did everything). I find this personally funny, because the Butter Bean I grew up with was the most pacifist, people loving dog you would ever meet.
I remember when Butter Bean (the fighter) was in the WWE for a crappy boxing tournament (yes, that happened, in pro wrestling company) and clocked the shit out of the tournament winner
This is the video I had no idea I needed to see. Didn’t know strange pet names could be everywhere. When I was 7 I named my hamster “Little peach”. She looked nothing like a peach, and I have no enjoyment of peaches, just named it little peach for some reason, because I wanted to.
Honestly, that's adorable! And I am not just saying that because of the Peachy in my name! I just think Peach is a cute name to give to a pet. The Little part is also very fitting because of a hamster's size.
My childhood cat was named Baby, and whenever we took her to the vet or got her medicine my dad would always put her name as "FamousRapperAndRecordingStarDaBaby", or, "Famous Rapper" for short. He even put this on her cremation certificate.
I had a ferret named Ham Sandwich. Called him Sammy for short. I've also taken to calling a (rather large,) dead bug in the corner of my garage "Boris" to try and lessen my fear of him because nobody in my family wants to be the one to sweep poor Boris away.
@@Meela9088 Sammy passed a good while before Boris made his way into the corner of the garage. And Sammy preferred to be snuggled and carried rather than explore new places. He was a lazy little goofball :)
My current cat's name is Piggy. She got that name because I originally found her with a group of her siblings and I frequently had to physically restrain her from eating all the food and not leaving any for the other, more shy kittens. I started calling her the little pig, which morphed into just Piggy over time. My mom thought it was a "horrible" name for a cat. The vets always call her Miss Piggy. To be fair, her original name was Slendy, short for Slenderman, so I think she got off with a more normal name compared to what could have been. The other family cats have been Shy, Seal, Cinder, and Cathy short for Cathedral (my sibling's current cat) so we've always been in the habit of giving weird names to our animals. Edit: we've now added Mousetachio, Mouse for short, to the list of cats that we've given terrible names. She has a mustache/goatee combo marking on her face.
@@Slender1870 she's a black cat and had disproportionately long legs at the time which is why slenderman came to mind. She was also the biggest troublemaker of the group so a horror character seemed like a fitting namesake
My sister's boyfriend's cousins found and adopted a pregnant stray cat about a year ago and helped raise her babies before giving them away. Most of them were left nameless so their new owners could name them (like the kitten we got, who we named Jellybean) except for one: a mostly black kitten with small white spots, one of which was just above his mouth and looked like a tiny white mustache. They named him Kitler.
I remember one of my cousins caused pure CHAOS by calling his ex-military dog that his family adopted "Aanval", the dutch word for "attack" which is in our country, the military trains dogs to tackle someone after hearing. I've been tackled by him too many times to count.
@@zawarudo855 I actually met a lab called Bruno on the street once, and as I rubbed his face, I said, "so we aren't allowed to talk about you, you fuzzy huggable giant ball of affection"
i used to know a bruno since i was like a baby. he used to live in the house next to my great aunts but he passed away like last year. i used to love him :(
I worked at a vet’s office! There were three unrelated cats named Pyscho; one family also had the last name Dick so they named their car Moby; one owner’s name was Jill and named her dog Jack; one family’s name was Brown so ofc they named their dog Charlie; there was also a Great Dane named Tiny. But by FAR. By FAR the best name I ever came across there- a favorite at the hospital- was a Frenchie named Dozer Sparkle Pony. When they got her, the two kids in the family both wanted to name her, so they just combined the names. And hence a legend was born.
Was on pet finder the other day with my friend and I thought “what’s a state that’s unhinged and would probably name their cats weird names?” And went straight to Texas. Suffice to say, I was not disappointed. New car smell and internal affairs were two of the best I saw on there, but there were like 3 pages full of names of a similar caliber and it was amazing.
One day this random cat came into our garden and started getting really attached to us until she eventually ended up coming into our house every day. We didn’t know where she came from or what her name was so my brother decided to name her “Kiosk” for god knows why. Eventually we found the owner who said the cat’s real name was “Skywalker”
My best friend (best friends since we were like 5 years old) gave his pet hamster my name, John, because he liked me and so he thought was a good name. I will never forget - about one week later - when I asked him how John the Hamster was, he calmly answered: "OH, John died. Forgot to tell you" It was like a part of me died that day
That reminds me of when we named our class pet fish after our teacher in primary school. But then the fish died while my teacher was on pregnancy leave and arriving at school to hear that [teacher's name] died was the biggest shock of my young 9-year-old life. No one clarified they meant the fish so every new kid that walked into the classroom got scared our teacher had died. Naming pets after people you know is just asking for someone to get hurt
Same with me, an elementary school friend named one of her chickens after me, with the other being called Cookies and Cream, and about a month later the chicken named after me died😭😭😭
We've never referred to our cat by her name; she's just called Kitty. However, her official name on the papers is "Sweetie Slasher". This is because we took her in when I was 7 and my first reaction was "aww she's so sweet, let's name her Sweetie!" ....and then we found out she is only a sweetie to a select few people 😅 But neither name stuck, nor any of the others we tried (peep, stripe, flash, trouble, wisp, all courtesy of 7yo me) so Kitty she is! Edit: earlier in my childhood, we also had cats named Pity Kitty, Frankie, and Dolly. All were girls. Frankie was short for something, but I don't remember what.
I named two of my cats Sparkler and Glory as I found them in the yard on the 4th of July. They never quite learned how to meow so they were christened Chirps and Squeaks respectively and we almost never used their actual names.
When I was in 1st grade I insisted upon naming an unfortunate goldfish "Guppy". I was fully aware that guppies are a completely different species of fish, but for some reason I just really wanted that to be the goldfish's name... Honorable mentions goes to a female tortoise named "Mr. Turtle" who was a patient at the vet clinic I shadowed at. Apparently her owner's grandson got to name her when he was four years old... Edit: I completely forgot about my uncle Ricky's deceased cat Precious-Horrible! She was abandoned in a corn field by her mother as a kitten before my uncle found her, and as she got older it quickly became apparent that something was just a little bit off about her. She liked Ricky just fine, but ANYONE ELSE she would immediately attack, no matter how many times she saw them. She'd even wait on top of doorways to pounce on people walking through them so she could get at their faces. My grandmother thought that naming her "Precious" might make her nicer, but that failed spectacularly, so they added "Horrible" to the end of it with a hyphen. Eventually they gave up on getting her to be nicer and just kept her locked in Ricky's room, which no one else dared enter until she passed away from old age...
Fishes are always named something silly if at all. My parents have three fishes all named Molly. None of them are the fish Common Molly. They're big, silver, and kind of mean. And yes, my parents actually do have common molly as well. But we keep the three Molly's separate from the small common mollies.
My dog’s name was Taco, so naturally his brother was named Nacho. Unfortunately, we don’t have them anymore as they’ve since passed away, but they were very good boys and I miss them a lot. Taco did have a taco costume for Halloween, too, lol. My dad had chihuahuas once named Killer and Ozzy and I had a friend who named their dog Corky. I love goofy names for pets :’)
My mom had two different dogs named Highway and Little Dog. Little Dog was, well, a little dog, and Highway was found on the highway. My grandfather was not creative with names
my mum grew up on a farm and had dozens of pets. when she was seven she named the family dog "kathy lane" after her friend's mom (who was 16 when she had kids). there was also a hamster named Little Baby ReeRee who died the standard traumatic small rodent death a few months into living in the house
@@NoriMori1992 my aunt chased it around the kitchen with a spatula until it ran into the heater. my grandparents found it years later when they were staging the house to move
Not necessarily a bad name, but I once named my female betta fish “Kymopoleia” after the Greek goddess of sea storms (she was blue and green if you were wondering). After a day I realized that I could barely pronounce the name, let alone spell it without searching it up, so her nickname was “Kimmie”. Then the little stinker played dead every time I entered the room, until I acknowledged her, which gave me many panic attacks since I thought she was dead. 😂😂
1:22 my dad often tells me of a pit bull his uncle owned that was the exact same fur pattern; all white with a little black spot under his nose, he was ALSO named H*tler. my dad said he was the sweetest dog you could ever meet.
My friend has told me that he knows someone who named his cat ”Skelett-blod-öga”, which literally translates to “Skeleton-blood-eye” (Swedish). He apparently wanted a “cool” name.
My first dog (the one in my pfp) was named Piglet. Now originally, she was named that because when my mom went to adopt her, she seemed very timid and sweet compared to all the other dogs, like Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. Turns out, she was totally faking it and was actually an insane dog that would always jump over the fence and get into shenanigans during her walks. But later on in Piglet's life, her name became more fitting for several reasons: • she was stocky • she loved to eat • she had a curly tail • she was pretty lazy • she would snort often
Dolly: My Family (Mom's Side) has it were Certain People are Certain Winnie the Pooh Characters & I'm Piglet! Soo Cute! & They Sorta Sound like my Dad's dog from when he was a kid! (A Dalmatian, Though!)
Bark Obama and Feline Dion were genuinely good names. I actually knew someone who had a pet corn snake called Kellogg's Corn Snake. Also, if anyone is unaware, the name at 3:18 is what Elon Musk named his son. I wish I was joking.
Once had a chihuahua named Queso, which was perfect for my family's last name: Weihing, which is literally pronounced as "Wine." "Would you like some cheese with your wine?"
I named my cat Tolstoy because he’s a Siberian and I thought it was cute, not super weird but it got a chuckle out of the vet tech last time I was there. My brother and his fiancée named their cat Pettson after Pettson and Findus (a lovely children’s book about an old man and his cat). So many people are naming their cats after the cat in the story, so they decided to name him after the old man instead lmao. Very cute, it suits him.
I like to give my pets full on human names. Like my cat isn't just Lori to me, she's Loretta Bishop. This is because cats require a lot of care and patience just like real children do. Also I wanna try to make them into OCs sometime when I get better at figuring out a story that has them.
@@Matt_Rose sweet! Btw, did you know that there’s a way to prevent most of the them from appearing ever again? And I’m not talking about banning the account themselves.

I had a snake named Snakie, a frog named Light Greenie, another frog named Dark Greenie and a tarantula named Cutie Rex. In my defense, I was a young child when I named them. This has also made me realize that my childhood pets were snakes, frogs and spiders... Oh, and a lizard whose name I can't remember. Interesting lineup of things for a little girl to have, but what I'm afraid of is actually dolls, so it makes sense.
My sister's Dad named one of our kittens Cocaine back in 1984. We just called him Cokey. Poor thing didn't have a single brain cell to himself, either. Died trying to chase a car with one of our huskies...He grew up in a litter, but still thought he was one of the dogs. I now have 5 cats (on a small holding, I promise I'm not bonkers) and they're named Adora, Bow, Catra, Heath and Snickers. The first three were all one litter rescued from a garage. Heath and Snickers were from a litter of EIGHT saved from a work storehouse. Heath and Snickers (or as I call them Schmeef n Sneaks) just sort of never got adopted and stayed here. One of their male littler mates was named "Queen Anne" after the cherry confection. The person who adopted him didn't get the joke and dubbed him (I shit younot) "Mr. Balls".
When my older sister was younger she had a pet fish, and she wanted to name it “Dennis” but ended up just calling him “Dentist”, so that was his name for the rest of his miserable life
I had a cat named Gooey. When I was really young (like 3) I adored playing with plasti tak, or as I liked to call it gooey balls since that’s exactly what I’d always make with it when I was given a piece. Eventually my family ended up getting two young cats, and my parents let me and my older brother each name one. My brother named one of the cats Clover, and I decided to name my cat after the one thing I loved more than anything. Gooey Ball, though we all just called her Gooey.
My cat is black with pale green eyes. His name is "Woodchipper". He just moved in after I formed a bond with him. He's basically a stroppy teenager. I love him 😊
I recently received two roosters, they’ve been named “Lil Jo” and “The boy”. Other bird names include: Major chuckles, Chookarooni, Derp, Blueboy and Greenguy Peckler, Rusty Butt, A trio named scalpel, eggy, and plank, and finally Namless. And yes, all of these have reasoning behind them.
I have a no name hen too. My first rooster of 4 was named blueberry at birth we just call him roo he doesn’t even know his name is blueberry. Also burrito, fuki (Fukushima), Puff, Noodle, hotdog, Arthur (hen), skunky, Lemon, corn, evil, mumble
One of my chickens was named Roofie because she stayed on the roof of the house all day when allowed to free range. Another was named after my dad's ex wife because she was loud and stupid, the alpha hen was Big Bitch or just Big B because she was the largest and most aggressive, two were named after my grandmother and one of her friends because they liked to stare at everything and gossiped like old women, and the last one I can't remember, it's been a few years since we gave them to a more established farm because the winter was looking at being a bad one.
Why do chickens always end up with the craziest names. My rooster was named Buttfart. The rest or the chickens were (all female): Maybelline Snodgrass, Flabby Joe, The Flabby Joe Impersonator, The Dirty Bubble, Party Pete, Beardy, and finally... Big Chicken.
Omg I should also mention when Buttfart and Maybelline Snodgrass had 3 chicks I named them Bootytoot, Assgas and Rumptrump (as in British slang for fart, this was way before the US president thing happened and completely unrelated). But we sold them and never told the new owners the names so their legacy did not continue
My mom adopted a rather fat mini Schnauzer whose previous owner named her Darkness. My mom didn't liked it so she changed her name to Daphne, she is the most energetic and loudest dog in the house.
I absolutely love the name bamboo for your cat. Mine are called Velvet and _Haytham._ as my brother (8 years older) named him. Edit: I’m pretty sure he got it from Assassin’s Creed
My neighbour’s corgi is named Derpy. He was named by the previous owners (who I assume have an 8 year old boy or something …) My neighbour is in his 60s and doesn’t have any context for the name so he just accepted it. To add insult to injury, Derpy is the most regal looking corgi I’ve ever seen
My dad had a cat growing up that no-one could decide on a name for, so they just called them "Cat" as a placeholder. 2 years went by, and then they realised they were forced to stick with "Cat" because it was too late for them to respond to a new name.
i used to have a kitten named Kralie. named after the murderous antagonist of the 2009 horror webseries Marble Hornets; who notably shot a man in the abdomen, and bashed another mans skull in with a brick. turns out he got sick before we adopted him and the people we got him from didnt tell us. he died after living with us for a week. i miss him a lot. i hope youre doing well in whatever afterlife youre in, Kralie. your dad misses you.
Day 2 of telling this story until Matt sees it: When I was 5 I was picking my little brother up from preschool. There was this one boy that was in my class doing the same. I was walking out when he was walking in. He yelled my name and I turned around. Both of our parents were there. He got down on one knee and said,”Will you marry me, the love of my life?” I said no and walked out of school. I turned around and his mom was just dragging him while he was crying. The next day was awkward in class..
I have three pet naming rules: no swears, no bodily functions, and I need to be comfortable sharing the full name with my grandma. No names like Spot, Piddles, Poopsie, or Tinkles.
Oh, my family has a long tradition for weird cat names. When I was child we had cats called Dark Side and Master and one whose name meant "Dog" in English. When my dad was young they had a cat whose name would be roughly translated into "Brown Tangle". Then when my big brothers were around two and three, we had a cat our family called "The Old Mother Cat". That was the name apparently. Edit: If I had a nickel every time I run into a cat that was called "Koira", I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. Edit 2: I'm now actually wondering if "ElMachoGrande" is actually somebody I know.
Had a cat named him "Mr. Tiny Ace of Spades" when i was younger because my family couldn't decide between Mr. Tiny, Ace, or Spade. Ended up not even calling him that in the end. Called him black jack(or just jack). When he passed we got another black cat and dad tried to call him the same name but the cat ended up being called dumb-dumb because he's so stupid. I love him.
My dogs are named Caliente and Chloeënte. For some reason, my family tends to give our dogs C names, so we chose Cali, for our bichon frisé-shih tzu. Since we're from Miami and Cali's very feisty, Cali had to be short for Caliente. When my sister was about to graduate high school, which meant that my parents were about to be empty nesters, we thought it would be best to get Cali a little sibling to boss around and keep her entertained , so we got a poodle-shih tzu puppy who also had to have a C name, which originally was going to be Cori (short for Cortadito, which is a Cuban espresso shot), but the little deaf baby girl didn't really fit that vibe, so we named her Chloe, which, to match her big sister, is short for Chloeënte. Then, for sorority rush, my sister's "big" got her a fish and named her Cathyente after our dogs.
When my dad was young, he had a dog called Woof. Which may sound perfectly reasonable at first, but just imagine the embarrassment of losing him in a public place.
Volunteering in a cattery, I met a cat called 99. And when looking at cats at a nearby shelter, there was one named Old Mate Gazza and another called Crowley with a Chance of Meatballs.
I name almost all my cats after other animals or flowers. I’ve got Squirrel, Cricket, Owl, Starling, Bear, Iris, Loupine and probably others I’m forgetting Note: all named cats are dead except for Starling and Owl, since they’re indoor cats (I own Starling, and all the flower names survive miraculously)
My eight-year-old sister was trying to come up with a name for her new kitten. She was putting a lot of effort into it, made a huge list and was slowly eliminating names. She had the list shorten down to three names, one of which was Princess Twiggy LaMay. I said, “why don’t you just name the damn thing Lido Shuffle and be done with it?“ So we had a cat named Lido, which should give anybody my age an earworm for the rest of the day. My mother seemed to take the opposite approach. Shortly after she married my dad, they moved out to a farm which they rented. They had a series of orange tomcats all named Susie.

My cat’s name on his adoption certificate was Patrick de Fluffball III. We hadn’t had any cats prior to adopting him, and his name was just Pat prior to adoption. Needless to say we don’t call him that at all anymore.
My mom named one of our cats “Biggie Smalls” short: Biggie, named one of our dogs “Napoleon Dynamite the 3rd” nickname: Taters ( yes like tater tots ) and named one of our other dogs “Day-Z” ( like Jay-Z ). Gotta love my mom and her creative pet names
As someone who has had dozens of strays come around , I love to name them before anyone else in the house can. My favorites : Meatball , Crayon, Demon, and identical cats my sibling and I called Yukon and Cornelius. Can’t wait for the day I can name a cat Richard or Lump
When I was in high school, I adopted a cat from my neighbor. They'd found her as a kitten when she got injured crawling up into their car's engine to keep warm-she lost one of her front legs, an ear, and her tail. They named her Chingo, which is Spanish for "tailless", but can also mean "a shitload", like how much the vet bill was to save her. She was a sweetie, and the vet did a really good job, too, she looked more like she'd just never had those parts than like she'd lost them in an accident. And in college, my then-girlfriend and I found a kitten. We named him Roflcopter Q. Catbread, Esq. Rofl for short.
My sister's boss got a puppy last year, her boss's surname is 'Carr'. Long story short, but the job is to do with the environment. The puppy ended up being called Zero Carr-Bon, as a play on words of 'zero carbon'. To this day, I have no idea why, and it always leads to a lot of confusion explaining his name to other people when they take him on dog walks.

My little brother had a fish named Dog. When my parents adopted a dog, we really wanted to name her Fish. Sadly, my mom refused on the grounds that she wasn't going to be running up and down the road having the neighbors hear her yelling"Fish!" at her dog. So we comprised.

I’ve got a cat named Arson.
It’s because when he was a kitten he did everything in his power to knock over lit candles.
If an arsonist isn’t menacing enough, he’s a Norwegian Forest Cat (a large breed) and nearly as big as a medium sized dog. He’s not fully grown.

Edit: Considering naming my next cat “Defenestration”.
Arson sounds like a good name if you take the meaning out of it
@@usertedi A cool thing about being named Arson is the O can be replaced with any vowel and it still sounds the same like “Arsin” and “Arsun” which speak for themselves, or “Arsan” (the ‘an’ word be like in the word ‘another’) or “Arsen” and “Arsyn” and you could make fun of everyone for not giving their pet as cool of a name as you did.

There was a dog that got lost in our neighborhood a few years back named "Little Girl" and all I could think about was the owners going around outside yelling "LITTLE GIIIRL WHEEERE ARE YOOOU!?"
Little Girl was thankfully found and brought home safe after about a week. She was found at the neighborhood playground, which is hilariously fitting.
My aunt has a cat named Little Girl. Not sure exactly how old she is, but I'd say she isn't that little.
She also owns a cat named Molly, who I'm pretty sure shares a name with another (very different, both in appearance and in behavior) cat she had had who had died before Molly II was brought into the house, and she also used to have a cat that she named Lily before she found out that he was a boy.

When I was a child we had a cat that my little sister and I named "Abby." Doesn't sound too bad until you know her full name was "Abbreviation." Because before we got her, she had gotten her tail caught in a door and was just fine except part of her tail had to be amputated and it was just a very odd length. We weren't really mean kids though - we adored her and she had a long happy life. Not holding any grudges on the rainbow bridge, I'm sure!

My family has a very small black dog named Cerberus. He is the sweetest animal I have ever met.
Vets constantly do double takes when they see “Cerberus” on their chart and imagine a mastiff or husky mix and then are greeted by an 11 pound animal who is being held in someone’s arms for comfort.
i mean i think i read something somewhere about "Cerberus" actually roughly meaning "Spot"
@@EllpaFox47 Nah, it's either derived from the words for "Flesh-devouring" or "Evil of the pit".
@@EllpaFox47 he does have one white spot under his collar. It was bigger when he was a puppy but he mostly grew out of it.
His name is purely ironic tho.
He was a bit of a runty puppy even by the standards of his very small breed when he got him and we all got a kick out of giving him the most intimidating name on our list after meeting him and seeing that he was 1 pound of shadow or less.
Small dogs with beefy names are the best. My old weed dealer had a miniature pinscher (chihuahua that looked like a Doberman) called Django.
@@MrOtistetrax fully agreed,
Once in a blue moon Cerberus actually tries to live up to his name and it’s ridiculous.
Recently, mom rescued some runaway husky/german shepherd puppies and kept them on our deck until their owners could pick them up.
Apparently, Cerberus was chill to hang out with the big babies until I came out there….and then he tried to protect me by starting a fight with two dogs 4x his size.
I scooped him up and took him back inside before he actually attacked them but he was snarling and snapping like he was going to do it.
Best we can figure, is that he sees me as a junior/vulnerable pack member and was acting as my “big brother” to protect me from the strange dogs.
It kinda makes sense because I’m recovering from a serious head injury and he’s basically my emotional support dog in general.
I’ve recovered a lot in the last 2 months, but I can see why Cerberus would think I’m unable to defend myself.
It’s still ridiculous that he thought he could defend me, but his brain is the size of a walnut and I think that affects his decision making.
Story courtesy of my mum here. She was working as a vet when she was requested to help out a cat named Tonic. Upon further inquiry, she found out that the owner also had a cat named Gin who unfortunately died. You may have heard people saying "Don't name your pet anything you would feel stupid or get arrested for saying out loud". Well, I'm vouching to add a second rule in addition to the first one, that being this: Don't name your pet anything that doesn't make sense without the existence of another pet. Don't name your cats Pan and Cakes, because you're inevitably going to get people asking why your cat is named after a cooking utensil. Naming your dogs Eggs and Bacon isn't a great idea if you don't enjoy getting asked why you have a dog named Eggs.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

You should check out racehorses' names. Since there's a rule which states that names currently in use and similar names cannot be reused until five years after the horse using said name has retired from racing and breeding, they can get pretty original. For example, one of the winners of the Gran Premio Dardo Rocha race was called "¡Huiy!", which could be literally translated to "Ouch!". Another favourites of mine include "Maythehorsebewithu", "Whykickamoocow", "Nosupeforyou" and, of course, "Potoooooooo"
There was an Australian racehorse called HoofHearted. Think they were pretty amazed it got approved by the registering body
Lol don't forget Horsey McHorseFace

As someone with a cat named hashbrown, I too sit upon that throne
I was at the shelter looking to adopt a cat, and ended up really liking this friendly older brown tabby named Brownie. I decided it was easier to keep the name than try to teach an elderly cat a new one. Fast forward several months and my best friend went to the same shelter and adopted an orange and white tabby named Red. Unfortunately, Red didn't end up getting along with my friend's other cat (Red is very playful but the other cat is not), so I offered to take him as a friend for Brownie, who is also quite playful. Didn't really think much of it until I took them to the vet for routine checkups and saw their names on the receipt. My last name is Green. They're Brownie Green and Red Green.
That’s awesome 😂

My childhood dog, a sweet little basset hound, was named Butter Bean. For years, I thought it was a combo of her two favorite human foods, peanut butter and green beans (Green Peanut wasn't as appealing I assume). I only found out recently that it was also the name of a retired heavyweight fighter (MMA, boxing, wrestling, he did everything). I find this personally funny, because the Butter Bean I grew up with was the most pacifist, people loving dog you would ever meet.
So you never had butter beans? They're actually just big juicy white beans.
that's such a cute sounding name, I feel like it's much more fitting for a pet than for a fighter.
we had a cat named butter bean, but my brother sometimes got that confused with the brand of turkey and called him butter balls.
I remember when Butter Bean (the fighter) was in the WWE for a crappy boxing tournament (yes, that happened, in pro wrestling company)

This is the video I had no idea I needed to see. Didn’t know strange pet names could be everywhere. When I was 7 I named my hamster “Little peach”. She looked nothing like a peach, and I have no enjoyment of peaches, just named it little peach for some reason, because I wanted to.
my hamster was named chai. i did not know chai tea was a thing.
Honestly, that's adorable! And I am not just saying that because of the Peachy in my name! I just think Peach is a cute name to give to a pet. The Little part is also very fitting because of a hamster's size.

My current cat's name is Piggy. She got that name because I originally found her with a group of her siblings and I frequently had to physically restrain her from eating all the food and not leaving any for the other, more shy kittens. I started calling her the little pig, which morphed into just Piggy over time. My mom thought it was a "horrible" name for a cat. The vets always call her Miss Piggy. To be fair, her original name was Slendy, short for Slenderman, so I think she got off with a more normal name compared to what could have been. The other family cats have been Shy, Seal, Cinder, and Cathy short for Cathedral (my sibling's current cat) so we've always been in the habit of giving weird names to our animals.
Edit: we've now added Mousetachio, Mouse for short, to the list of cats that we've given terrible names. She has a mustache/goatee combo marking on her face.

But by FAR. By FAR the best name I ever came across there- a favorite at the hospital- was a Frenchie named Dozer Sparkle Pony. When they got her, the two kids in the family both wanted to name her, so they just combined the names. And hence a legend was born.

My best friend (best friends since we were like 5 years old) gave his pet hamster my name, John, because he liked me and so he thought was a good name.

"OH, John died. Forgot to tell you"
It was like a part of me died that day
That reminds me of when we named our class pet fish after our teacher in primary school. But then the fish died while my teacher was on pregnancy leave and arriving at school to hear that [teacher's name] died was the biggest shock of my young 9-year-old life. No one clarified they meant the fish so every new kid that walked into the classroom got scared our teacher had died. Naming pets after people you know is just asking for someone to get hurt
Same with me, an elementary school friend named one of her chickens after me, with the other being called Cookies and Cream, and about a month later the chicken named after me died😭😭😭
We've never referred to our cat by her name; she's just called Kitty. However, her official name on the papers is "Sweetie Slasher".
This is because we took her in when I was 7 and my first reaction was "aww she's so sweet, let's name her Sweetie!" ....and then we found out she is only a sweetie to a select few people 😅
But neither name stuck, nor any of the others we tried (peep, stripe, flash, trouble, wisp, all courtesy of 7yo me) so Kitty she is!
Edit: earlier in my childhood, we also had cats named Pity Kitty, Frankie, and Dolly. All were girls. Frankie was short for something, but I don't remember what.

Honorable mentions goes to a female tortoise named "Mr. Turtle" who was a patient at the vet clinic I shadowed at. Apparently her owner's grandson got to name her when he was four years old...
Edit: I completely forgot about my uncle Ricky's deceased cat Precious-Horrible! She was abandoned in a corn field by her mother as a kitten before my uncle found her, and as she got older it quickly became apparent that something was just a little bit off about her. She liked Ricky just fine, but ANYONE ELSE she would immediately attack, no matter how many times she saw them. She'd even wait on top of doorways to pounce on people walking through them so she could get at their faces. My grandmother thought that naming her "Precious" might make her nicer, but that failed spectacularly, so they added "Horrible" to the end of it with a hyphen. Eventually they gave up on getting her to be nicer and just kept her locked in Ricky's room, which no one else dared enter until she passed away from old age...
whoa seriously?! She'd wait and go for people's faces?! That's evil! and very very dangerous! omg that's scary!

After a day I realized that I could barely pronounce the name, let alone spell it without searching it up, so her nickname was “Kimmie”.

My friend has told me that he knows someone who named his cat ”Skelett-blod-öga”, which literally translates to “Skeleton-blood-eye” (Swedish). He apparently wanted a “cool” name.
When I was a kid our family had a cat called Dark Side. It was named by my big brother.
heard about someone who named their cat Enkät, so when she was calling them it sounded like en cat (with an ä-sounding a), kom en cat!

My first dog (the one in my pfp) was named Piglet. Now originally, she was named that because when my mom went to adopt her, she seemed very timid and sweet compared to all the other dogs, like Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. Turns out, she was totally faking it and was actually an insane dog that would always jump over the fence and get into shenanigans during her walks. But later on in Piglet's life, her name became more fitting for several reasons:
• she was stocky
• she loved to eat
• she had a curly tail
• she was pretty lazy
• she would snort often
Dolly: My Family (Mom's Side) has it were Certain People are Certain Winnie the Pooh Characters & I'm Piglet! Soo Cute! & They Sorta Sound like my Dad's dog from when he was a kid! (A Dalmatian, Though!)

The remorse in his voice when he says Billy Eiliss is so funny.
When I was four, my parents got me a betta fish. They allowed me to name him. He lived for several years under the name “Chair-Chester-Bob-Peach”.
I named my cat Tolstoy because he’s a Siberian and I thought it was cute, not super weird but it got a chuckle out of the vet tech last time I was there. My brother and his fiancée named their cat Pettson after Pettson and Findus (a lovely children’s book about an old man and his cat). So many people are naming their cats after the cat in the story, so they decided to name him after the old man instead lmao. Very cute, it suits him.
My goodness! I love those books!
Findus.....*groan*
At least it was a cat and not a horse.
@@meilinchan7314 why would it be a horse?
I like to give my pets full on human names. Like my cat isn't just Lori to me, she's Loretta Bishop. This is because cats require a lot of care and patience just like real children do. Also I wanna try to make them into OCs sometime when I get better at figuring out a story that has them.
Good luck with the story writing! I'm sure you can come up with something that has them in it!

I had a snake named Snakie, a frog named Light Greenie, another frog named Dark Greenie and a tarantula named Cutie Rex. In my defense, I was a young child when I named them. This has also made me realize that my childhood pets were snakes, frogs and spiders... Oh, and a lizard whose name I can't remember. Interesting lineup of things for a little girl to have, but what I'm afraid of is actually dolls, so it makes sense.

My sister's Dad named one of our kittens Cocaine back in 1984. We just called him Cokey. Poor thing didn't have a single brain cell to himself, either. Died trying to chase a car with one of our huskies...He grew up in a litter, but still thought he was one of the dogs. I now have 5 cats (on a small holding, I promise I'm not bonkers) and they're named Adora, Bow, Catra, Heath and Snickers. The first three were all one litter rescued from a garage. Heath and Snickers were from a litter of EIGHT saved from a work storehouse. Heath and Snickers (or as I call them Schmeef n Sneaks) just sort of never got adopted and stayed here. One of their male littler mates was named "Queen Anne" after the cherry confection. The person who adopted him didn't get the joke and dubbed him (I shit younot) "Mr. Balls".
When my older sister was younger she had a pet fish, and she wanted to name it “Dennis” but ended up just calling him “Dentist”, so that was his name for the rest of his miserable life
I had a cat named Gooey.
When I was really young (like 3) I adored playing with plasti tak, or as I liked to call it gooey balls since that’s exactly what I’d always make with it when I was given a piece. Eventually my family ended up getting two young cats, and my parents let me and my older brother each name one. My brother named one of the cats Clover, and I decided to name my cat after the one thing I loved more than anything. Gooey Ball, though we all just called her Gooey.
My cat is black with pale green eyes. His name is "Woodchipper". He just moved in after I formed a bond with him.
He's basically a stroppy teenager. I love him 😊
I recently received two roosters, they’ve been named “Lil Jo” and “The boy”.
Other bird names include: Major chuckles, Chookarooni, Derp, Blueboy and Greenguy Peckler, Rusty Butt, A trio named scalpel, eggy, and plank, and finally Namless.
And yes, all of these have reasoning behind them.
I have a no name hen too. My first rooster of 4 was named blueberry at birth we just call him roo he doesn’t even know his name is blueberry. Also burrito, fuki (Fukushima), Puff, Noodle, hotdog, Arthur (hen), skunky, Lemon, corn, evil, mumble
One of my chickens was named Roofie because she stayed on the roof of the house all day when allowed to free range. Another was named after my dad's ex wife because she was loud and stupid, the alpha hen was Big Bitch or just Big B because she was the largest and most aggressive, two were named after my grandmother and one of her friends because they liked to stare at everything and gossiped like old women, and the last one I can't remember, it's been a few years since we gave them to a more established farm because the winter was looking at being a bad one.
Why do chickens always end up with the craziest names. My rooster was named Buttfart. The rest or the chickens were (all female): Maybelline Snodgrass, Flabby Joe, The Flabby Joe Impersonator, The Dirty Bubble, Party Pete, Beardy, and finally... Big Chicken.
Omg I should also mention when Buttfart and Maybelline Snodgrass had 3 chicks I named them Bootytoot, Assgas and Rumptrump (as in British slang for fart, this was way before the US president thing happened and completely unrelated). But we sold them and never told the new owners the names so their legacy did not continue
My mom adopted a rather fat mini Schnauzer whose previous owner named her Darkness. My mom didn't liked it so she changed her name to Daphne, she is the most energetic and loudest dog in the house.

My neighbour’s corgi is named Derpy. He was named by the previous owners (who I assume have an 8 year old boy or something …) My neighbour is in his 60s and doesn’t have any context for the name so he just accepted it. To add insult to injury, Derpy is the most regal looking corgi I’ve ever seen
I wouldn't be surprised if the person or kid who named the Corgi named it after the MLP background character.
@woobgamer5210 That'd make it even worse. Poor dog.
My dad had a cat growing up that no-one could decide on a name for, so they just called them "Cat" as a placeholder. 2 years went by, and then they realised they were forced to stick with "Cat" because it was too late for them to respond to a new name.
We had a cat from a litter that had two different colors on her face. My dad called it 'Two-faced', but I thought it was 'Toothpaste'.
🤣
i used to have a kitten named Kralie. named after the murderous antagonist of the 2009 horror webseries Marble Hornets; who notably shot a man in the abdomen, and bashed another mans skull in with a brick.
turns out he got sick before we adopted him and the people we got him from didnt tell us. he died after living with us for a week. i miss him a lot. i hope youre doing well in whatever afterlife youre in, Kralie. your dad misses you.
Day 2 of telling this story until Matt sees it:
When I was 5 I was picking my little brother up from preschool. There was this one boy that was in my class doing the same. I was walking out when he was walking in. He yelled my name and I turned around. Both of our parents were there. He got down on one knee and said,”Will you marry me, the love of my life?” I said no and walked out of school. I turned around and his mom was just dragging him while he was crying. The next day was awkward in class..
Ooooop, i dream of doing that one day

Oh, my family has a long tradition for weird cat names. When I was child we had cats called Dark Side and Master and one whose name meant "Dog" in English. When my dad was young they had a cat whose name would be roughly translated into "Brown Tangle". Then when my big brothers were around two and three, we had a cat our family called "The Old Mother Cat". That was the name apparently.
Edit: If I had a nickel every time I run into a cat that was called "Koira", I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Edit 2: I'm now actually wondering if "ElMachoGrande" is actually somebody I know.
My dad had a pet dog as a kid who's name was Marijuana in Jamaican. His mom didn't know what the name actually meant until after the dog was dead.
If you adopt another cat, you should name it “Blue Meth”.
Had a cat named him "Mr. Tiny Ace of Spades" when i was younger because my family couldn't decide between Mr. Tiny, Ace, or Spade. Ended up not even calling him that in the end. Called him black jack(or just jack). When he passed we got another black cat and dad tried to call him the same name but the cat ended up being called dumb-dumb because he's so stupid. I love him.
3:00 I would've said "You ARE the kids.".
My dogs are named Caliente and Chloeënte.
For some reason, my family tends to give our dogs C names, so we chose Cali, for our bichon frisé-shih tzu. Since we're from Miami and Cali's very feisty, Cali had to be short for Caliente. When my sister was about to graduate high school, which meant that my parents were about to be empty nesters, we thought it would be best to get Cali a little sibling to boss around and keep her entertained , so we got a poodle-shih tzu puppy who also had to have a C name, which originally was going to be Cori (short for Cortadito, which is a Cuban espresso shot), but the little deaf baby girl didn't really fit that vibe, so we named her Chloe, which, to match her big sister, is short for Chloeënte. Then, for sorority rush, my sister's "big" got her a fish and named her Cathyente after our dogs.
When my dad was young, he had a dog called Woof. Which may sound perfectly reasonable at first, but just imagine the embarrassment of losing him in a public place.
I used to have betta fish and they were Princess Fish and Boy Fish (instead of prince fish???)

"Sorry mr white, I thought you said crystal beth!"
Volunteering in a cattery, I met a cat called 99. And when looking at cats at a nearby shelter, there was one named Old Mate Gazza and another called Crowley with a Chance of Meatballs.
I name almost all my cats after other animals or flowers. I’ve got Squirrel, Cricket, Owl, Starling, Bear, Iris, Loupine and probably others I’m forgetting
Note: all named cats are dead except for Starling and Owl, since they’re indoor cats (I own Starling, and all the flower names survive miraculously)
We have a dog named Leni. That, by itself, isn't that bad. Except people have the tendency to somehow mishear it as Lenin.
My eight-year-old sister was trying to come up with a name for her new kitten. She was putting a lot of effort into it, made a huge list and was slowly eliminating names. She had the list shorten down to three names, one of which was Princess Twiggy LaMay. I said, “why don’t you just name the damn thing Lido Shuffle and be done with it?“ So we had a cat named Lido, which should give anybody my age an earworm for the rest of the day.
My mother seemed to take the opposite approach. Shortly after she married my dad, they moved out to a farm which they rented. They had a series of orange tomcats all named Susie.
"Meet Susie, Susie, Susie, Susie, Susie, Susie...."
"Lemme guess, that last cat's name is Susie?"
"and Kris!"
I hope Boz Scaggs singing "Lido, oh woah oh oh oh!" played in your head every time that cat walked into the room.
Thanks, I'm going to be humming lido shuffle all day, and I'm 19, though classic rock is right in my wheelhouse. I wonder if the farm cats were named after the song Suzy q

When I was in high school, I adopted a cat from my neighbor. They'd found her as a kitten when she got injured crawling up into their car's engine to keep warm-she lost one of her front legs, an ear, and her tail. They named her Chingo, which is Spanish for "tailless", but can also mean "a shitload", like how much the vet bill was to save her. She was a sweetie, and the vet did a really good job, too, she looked more like she'd just never had those parts than like she'd lost them in an accident.
And in college, my then-girlfriend and I found a kitten. We named him Roflcopter Q. Catbread, Esq. Rofl for short.
cat named chair: exists
me for no reason: *manic laughter mixed with wheezing*

Okay but "Toe Beans Mcquire" is objectively one of the best cat names I have ever seen.
My sister's boss got a puppy last year, her boss's surname is 'Carr'. Long story short, but the job is to do with the environment. The puppy ended up being called Zero Carr-Bon, as a play on words of 'zero carbon'. To this day, I have no idea why, and it always leads to a lot of confusion explaining his name to other people when they take him on dog walks.
My older sibling has a few cats,and one is called Fridge Magnet. As a kitten she hid under the fridge a lot, hence the name.
I named one of my Kittens Chips.
Most of the family agreed it was a great name. My mom’s boyfriend disagreed to the point that they broke up lmao.
