Breakfast
Following the gym, I ate a banana as I prepared a batch of scrambled eggs for breakfast. 
Today’s batch of scrambled eggs included two eggs, apple chicken sausage and zucchini. It hit the spot!
Funny Pet Names
After breakfast, Ryan and I took Sadie on her morning walk.
I laced up my favorite pair of Reebok SmoothFlex run sneakers (first mentioned here) and also had a chance to try Reebok’s seamless long bra top that the company sent me to try.
The tank is really comfortable and I love the breathability and heather blue color.
An added bonus? The length! I hate it when workout tops are too short and this one is nice and long.
Back to our walk!
During our morning walk with Sadie, we ran into our neighbor who was out walking her dog, PeeWee. PeeWee’s name suits him perfectly, as he’s a tiny little thing with a big personality.
After saying hello, Ryan and I started talking about some of the funniest dog names we’ve heard throughout the years.
The dog park where we used to bring Sadie to run and play in Orlando was the perfect place for overhearing amazing dog names.
Our favorites:
- Cheese
- Frank
- Little Dog
I think Cheese is my all-time favorite dog name. When I heard the guy yell, “CHEESE! Get over here!” I almost lost it. So unexpected!
We also thought it would’ve been funny to name Sadie something that didn’t fit her at all. Like “Spot.”
Question of the Day
- What is the funniest or most amusing pet name you’ve heard?
When I was a little girl, we had a cat named Silly Billy, but I think Cheese takes the cake!

Holy comments!! Your readers obviously love pets! We call Cooper, “Buns” (my hubby started this one) “Yiddy” (even though he is LARGE) and of course, “baby”. 🙂
You cannot go wrong with chkn sausage!
When I was in high school we got a new cat. I was babysitting a 4 yr old at the time & decided to let her name the cat. She went with, Shotgun Mailbox Jingle Bells…. just rolls off the tongue, huh? Shotgun was an awesome cat!
When my brother-in-law was about 10, he thought it would be hilarious to name a dog Nipples, so we’d have to yell Nipples when it ran away. Only a 10 year old boy could come up with a something like that!
My dog is Danny, we call him Dan The Man. I also have cats named Duck, Flea and Miss. Pearl. Love them!
The 2 funniest that stand out for me are “Ballsack”- the name of a very big male bulldog.
The second one is “D O G” but instead of pronouncing it as dog, it’s each single letter procounced quickly D.O.G. At first we didn’t realize it was the letters DOG. (DEEOGEE).
My mom found a little kitten in our front yard, when she finally got in clean she realized it was a beautiful white little thing. She decided to keep it and named her LilyBelle (my parents live in TN and my mom thought of herself as a Southern Belle). When I was home a few months before my wedding and LilyBelle was about 5 months old, I turned her over and discovered she was a HE! My mom cried for a couple of hours and then we went about renaming the cat. My brother voted for LarryBalls, but in the end Mr. Lily won. Mr. Lily now lives a big fat life with my dad and brother.
We are currently researching all about dogs. This has been great reading all the comments. Will keep lots of these names in mind when we make our decision.
My boyfriends cat growing up was named Dust Mop. The poor thing was nameless for the first few weeks until his mom continuously found her sleeping on the dust mop. I just about died when he told me that story.
I have a brown tabby kitty and her name is potato. She has a round belly and she likes to roll around on the ground and when she does she looks like a potato rolling around on the counter. When people first hear her name they can’t help but laugh! There is also a cat that goes to our vet named pickles. That name made me laugh when I heard it!
I had a long haired chihuahua named Queso because my two kids LOVE chile con queso. 🙂
My favorite pet was a big, fluffly orange cat named Tubby, but my dad and brother liked to make me angry by calling her names like Flubby and Scrubby.
I work in an Animal Rescue shelter and we constantly see cute and out right random names coming in for pets.
My favourite at the moment is Humberto!
However my own pets have ‘people’ names – when we first moved into our new place, I think our neighbors thought we had two kids with wired habits – not two cats!
My parents have a stray cat, actually they’ve had numerous strays (Stray Cat 1, who died, then Stray Cat 2, who is still around) but a couple weeks ago there was a kitten hanging around their house and my dad went to pick it up and it bit him. He went and got a tetanus shot since we have no idea where the cat has been. The cat has since stuck around and is warming up to my dad, who lovingly calls him Tetanus.
(My ex boyfriend also had a dog called J.D. for Just Dog.. always thought that was hilarious!)
My cousin used to have two dogs named Oscar and Meyer. The weirdest dog name I think I have ever heard was Fish. Random, I know.
My sister has a 17 year old cat that just goes by TitTit. Um, yeah. Don’t say that out loud around others. Her original name was “Belle” but I guess TitTit was easier.
That’s about as good as the rabbit I named “Pascal” only to discover she wasn’t a he. So then she went from Ms. Bun to Bun Bun.
And my aunt & uncle had a feline named “C-for” C for Cat, don’t ya know
We have a cairn terrier (LIke ToTo from the wizard of oz) and he loves everybody and everything. So his name, Brutus, doesn’t fit his personality but at the same time, it does 🙂 His nickname “Bruise” or “Bruiser” doesn’t fit either haha!
I have a yellow Lab named Deacon and a black Lab named Reverend. 🙂 As a vet student, we hear some crazy pet names. A lady brought in a “female” kitten named Annabelle…we had to tell her that Annabelle was a male! She was determined to call him Annabelle so his name is now Mister Annabelle.
It’s mean now that I look back on it..but we had a kitten named Gimpy because it’s front paw wasn’t completely formed. It was an adorable kitten though!
My in-laws have a Brittany Spaniel named Diogi. Say it out loud really slowly. D-O-G. Get it? Amazingly enough, it suits him perfectly.
I also have a Vizsla. Her name is Maple 🙂 … then I decided to give her a middle name.. so her name is Maple Syrup lol
I originally wanted two puppies.. so i can name them Optimus & Prime… from transformers lol
Sallyhotwheels!
When I first got my cat his name was Mr Man, but that is what my sister was calling my new baby nephew for a nickname, and I didn’t want them to be the same, so my friend and I brainstormed for a new name…Norman. Sometimes it gets shortened to Norm, or other variations like Normie, or Normiekins, or Normalicious (so delicious!).
He definitely looks like a Norman:)
We have a little black female cat named Monkey, a big orange male cat named Carl, and a calico female named Jack Daniels. We call her Jack. When you have kids, and they get a kitty, they do NOT bother to find out the sex of the animal before naming it, LOL. We once had a girl cat named Guy. (We also have a rottweiler named Trudy – short for Gertrude. She is a big sweetie.)
My sister named her dog Jack and he loves to greet people by jumping up onto there legs but then she realized she was yelling “Jack Off” all the time which got the neighbors to start staring…It was so hilarious when she finally realized what she had done!
I work for a pet insurance company in CA and here is a link to actual names of pets we insure. They did a youtube video on it as well but not sure of the link.

Omg I love cheese, what a great pet name!
My husband and I are long-term dog sitting for a 5-yr old pitbull. His name is Weezy (like Lil Wayne), but my husband renamed him Wewii (that’s how he spells it, pronounced Wee-Wee) because he thought Weezy was “too ghetto.” I just call him We 🙂
When my younger sister was about 10, she named her dog “Guess.” she has always been a little jokster but it cracked us all up to hear someone ask her dog’s name and shed say “guess” they’d say a name and shed say “no, guess.” lol pretty entertaining for a 10 year old.
I have a friend who’s dog’s name is “Oven Mitt” and another who had a german shepherd named “Judy”. Which I think is hysterical.
Our dog is a German shepherd/lab mix (we think he’s more of a Belgian Malinois than German) and he likely has some other blood in there too. Anyways, we got him from a no-kill shelter a few years ago and was already named “Cartman” (like South Park). The employee who worked with us LOVED him and made us promise to not change his name. We had planned on naming him “Wabash” after one of the signature songs played at our college’s sporting events, but I can’t bear to break that promise. So if Carty ever gets a little brother (maybe even sister), I will make no promises other than to name that one Wabash.
I have a cat named snack. He is an indoor/outdoor cat and once he went missing for a few days and we thought that he had actually turned into a snack! Luckily he is fine 🙂
Human names for dogs are the funniest! We are currently fostering a 70+ lb yellow lab named “Tina.” I laugh everytime I say her name.
Sounds like Cheese and my corgi, Macaroni, should get together! I’ve always wanted to get another dog and name him Queso, slightly more subtle of a reference but would still be funny.
When I was really little, we had a cat named Norman Tragle. And we always used both first and last name, i have no idea why And I used to have a cat named Peanut Butter. But, he just went by Peanut unless he was in trouble.
how bout Jupiter?
My shih tzus name is Charlee and she is a girl. Even though she wears a brightly colored collar with pink and yellow and peace signs people still call her a boy.
My sister named her dog patrick, after spongebobs starfish buddy. It fit him perfectly. So sophisticated LOL
My pup’s name is Steven. What makes it better is that my last name is Stephens so his full name is Steven Stephens. 🙂
I work at a Vet and this client has dogs named “Paula Dean” and “Chuck Norris.”
I have a cat named Grizzly Bear Cub and a dog named Squirrel Pup!
I have a spoiled rotten diva English bulldog named Tugboat!
Oh and I’ve also had a Scrunchie and Pumpernickle!
Wrong kind of “pet name” but still….hahah
annnnd i meant to post this on my own comment! sorry! oi vey.
This is kind of PG-13 but my name is Jenna and an old friend of mine somehow got “Jenitals” (genitals) to catch on. That was a fun year….
Wrong kind of “pet name” but still….hahah
My boyfriend was driving to pick up our new kittens and we were chatting on his drive. He told me, “I’ve got it! The kittens will be named Lou and Ig.”
I took awhile to respond, clearly confused, and not really into the names, especially considering that one kitten was a female. Ig? Really?
As the “ummmmm” came out of my mouth, he responded, “When they’re bad, you can just yell IGLOO!!!” I busted out laughing and my boyfriend’s creativity. As it turns out, the names stuck- well, sort of. Iggy and Lulu are my adorable brother and sister kitties. They’re all black, which makes their names even funnier:)
i have a cat… and his name is Tuna =P
Cheese! Too cute! We give all our dogs Hawaiian names, but our neighbor names all her animals after spices or breakfasts foods. Their current pup is now called Waffles. 🙂
Growing up, I had a friend whose dog’s name was STEVE. I still crack up when I think of it!
My good friend let her son pick names for both if thier dogs. He chose Macaroni and Cheese for thier Corgi and Chicken Strips for thier beagle. I also have a friend with a female cat named Jim. Cracks me up!
We have a little black and white maltese and long-haired daschound mix dog named Maggie. Then we decided she needed a middle name, so then she become Maggie O.T. when she was being scolded. the O.T stands for Tulsa, OK where we got her. (we brought her back to Buffalo, NY with us from a college trip) Now she has become Margaret when she is naughty haha it always makes me feel like I’m scolding an older woman…Margaret! What did you do?!
My goldendoodle’s name is Walter…it’s the most perfect name for him as he looks just like one! Wish I could show you a pic!
My cats name is Mr. Ben Affleck. That speaks for itself haha.
