I have a lot of runners up, like Amrito for Amy, or Bradinglesmirch for Briar, but I think the dumbest has to be Scott Von Scott of the Scottsdale Scotts Who Did Scott So Scottily in the Battle of Scotteen Twelve.
So I ask you, what’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever called your furry friends?
My cat is named Princess Vivienne von kitty pants.
Bubbus McPuppador?
Honestly, I have a shitload of dumb nicknames.
Brussels sprouts for my dog bruss
Baron Meowser Von Kitty Cat (spoken with a fancy German accent.)
My sons have a hamster that they named “Bombur”. I tend to call it “Bomburcino”.
I had a cat whose name was Kirby and his nickname eventually turned to Care Bear (because Kirby>Kirbs>Kirb-ber) and now my parents have a cat named Barry and he is Ber-ber.
There’s also Rumball (Remy) and Kimball (Kimmy).
And the two I have now: Sullivan who is Little Bean (Sully-bean) and Elliot who is Little Moose (because Elliot Moose).
None of these are crazy silly I guess but I hadn’t realized before that I tend to give cats matching nicknames.
I also have a dog who is a beagle and his name is Sir Hodgley III. He doesn’t respond to any nicknames and there is great argument as to his real breed. He is not a real dog but a garden decoration, but I know in my heart of hearts that Sir Hodgley III is a beagle.
“Bumble tumble” for my dog. 😬
To my credit, the bumble ball commercial had just played.
Growing up, we had a cat that ended up being called spud. I have no recollection why, but it was apparently funny.
I had a cactus i named spiky .
I call my dog, Mila (pronounced Myla, I just was dumb when I tried to spell it when we adopted her), Mylar Balloon.
Eli, the dog, is now known as Elias Ikabob, sometimes known as Lias or kebab.
Della, the dog, is known as Smelly Belly Delly Sinky Cheese.
The beagle I owned had a habit of getting into the garbage can and getting the lid stuck around her waist like a tu-tu. She went by Trash Bandicoot.
Good Elon, my dog. Because I know there’s a bad one
What if he misbehaves? Do you say “bad Good Elon”?
I remove the “Good”
I’ve named my dog “in-the-way dog”. No matter what you’re trying to get done, there he is.
Open a drawer? He’s blocking it. Walking through a doorway? Step over him. Carrying a hot saucer to the sink? He’s right at your feet when you turn around.
I’ve got two dogs and I sort of aspire to the most ridiculous nicknames for them.
Maggie > Maggie Moo
Moodaloo, Mooster, Mooffaletta, Big SmoochBanjo
BlibbertyJigibbet, BeanieJeanie, BibbityJibbity, Lil’ StinkMutiny.
Short for Sra. Sable Prettyeye the Tiny Enigma Mutant.
