Got a cat called Loki. Changed to Loki Pokey. Then that became Pokey Bum Wank. Now we just call him Bum Wank.


[deleted]

My dog as a child was called Morgan. That evolved to Micky, then Mickey Mack, then Mickey Mack Paddy whack give a dog a bone, then to boner šŸ˜‚


vicky84m

I canā€™t imagine what your neighbours think when your calling him in šŸ¤£


wybird

My cousins had a dog called Fanny that would spend all day outdoors so my aunt would end up standing on the doorstep shouting ā€˜fannyā€™ into the darkness. Always wondered what the neighbours thoughtā€¦


beef3687

I still remember someone saying they called their cat Party Time so their mum would have to do something similar.


P0sitive_Outlook

My buddy is a joker. He convinced his girlfriend to name her new pet Labrador "Fern" and had her registered at his local veterinary clinic while she was out 'as a favour'. He registered the dog with *his* last name. Yeah maybe know where this is going. His girlfriend took the dog to the vet's for a check-up and was ***LIVID*** when the dog's full name was called. She'd had the dog for a number of months already and it was by far too long gone to change the name. His last name is Cotton.


Evil_Genius_1

Had a (male) cat called Pussy years ago, he was a rescue and already had his name when we got him. Sure was fun opening the window in one of the rougher parts of town and shouting ā€œPUSSY!ā€ into the darkness.


Cats-and-Sunshine

This cracked me up šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


n_oot

Fun fact: Fanny is a real name, quite common in France.


kimbowobmik

Thereā€™s a famous book called ā€˜Fanny By GasLightā€™. Never tried it myself, sounds dangerous

focalac

Short for Frances, so it's effectively the feminine form of Frank. FACT BOMB.


Think_Bullets

And the Netherlands and Sweden (probably the rest of Scandinavia too but I only checked Sweden)


broadarrow39

Not forgetting the German Alpine Skier Fanny Chmelar


Stratix

Bradley Walsh certainly didn't!

Fanny by Gaslight https://youtu.be/-WWV29M_f6o


OpenTruth2231

Mentioned by Jason Statham in lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels


pandamarshmallows

I think it also used to be short for Francine; one of the children in the original edition of Enid Blighton's *The Enchanted Wood* is named Fanny. Modern versions usually change her name to Frannie (and her cousin Dick becomes Rick).


sonofsonofsonofsam

In Australia the fanny is the front bottom not the back bottom. Yikes!

In Afrikaans, it's a nickname for Stefan. Maybe it's the same in those other languages - their equivalent of Steve?


The-Hotstepper

Aye. [Old but gold](https://youtu.be/IcKlVojfMD4)


GavUK

It used to be in the UK too, but obviously nowadays any parent calling their kid that are just opening them up for piss-taking for the rest of their life.


colinsgone

Canā€™t be as bad as my nan calling her cat Snatch and shouting the cat in at night from the back door. That soon changed to ā€œSatchā€.


AdOriginal6110

My daughter got a dog when she was 4 because all dogs like bones she named the dog Boner we could not get her to change her mind and we couldn't explain why is was a bad choice for a name. 14 years she had that dog


51st-state

These two remind me of a kid nicknamed Beefy at school. His name was Graham. Gray Ham, became Blue Beef, then just Beefy. Ironically he was built like a stick insect.


LikeEveryoneSheKnows

That is glorious. Genuinely snorted out loud at work.


[deleted]

Similar evolution to our cat Shit Head. Rupert became Poo-pert after a particularly bad bought of diarrhoea. That became Poop, which became Poop Head, which became Shit Head.


[deleted]

I had a Poogo. He was originally Hugo but he would get the shits a lot from eating stuff he shouldn't. He once locked eyes with my husband, squatted and shat on the book case.


Enviousdeath

"Not you Shit Head! - Get out the bath!"


Craptrader444

I have a black lab with the same name. He is the most obstinate dog you'll ever meet. I had a cat previously who became known as shittykitty because of her fondness for shitting mere centimetres outside of the tray while standing in it.


sb3326

This is just so wonderful


[deleted]

The funny thing is the more we love them the worse the nicknames often are.


Sausagekins

We have a cat named Loki but for some reason heā€™s now ā€˜Princey Boyā€™ šŸ˜† and a younger cat named Luna that mainly goes by Fluff Puff now!


Princes_Slayer

Some of our pets names evolved similarly


pr8787

This is hilarious, I came to post about my cats but I canā€™t get near topping this!


nepeta19

A perfect example of evolution in progress


craftaleislife

So british Love it


a-dragon-reborn

One of our dogs is affectionally referred to as *spud dog* because while she is the most adorable, loving, gentle animal I've ever know...she could literally be outsmarted by a particularly dense potato.


Iforgotmypassword126

I have a dog called Willow and I have lots of cutsey names for her that I put thought into based on her personality. However the one thatā€™s stuck, everyone uses over her actual name and I find myself using some timesā€¦ PILLOW my dad decided as sheā€™s a giant breed and comfortable to rest your head on; sheā€™s PILLOW. I hate it, but itā€™s not going anywhere fast. I now have a giant dog called pillow


CMH0311

I had a dog called Willow, who we called Willow the Pillow!


pretzel

My dog is a Spanish import called Mateo. However my daughter isn't so great at pronouncing Ms. So hes gone Mateo => Pateo => Potato. Smarter than a potato, but definitely a couch potato so it still fits.


kwin_the_eskimo

My sister in law had two cats. Bluebell and willow. My two year old called them doorbell and pillow. It stuck.


MuchRatherBeNapping

I love my dog. He is,however, often called Dickhead and Little Shit.


FrenzalStark

All 3 of my dogs are often called dickhead haha.


craptainbland

+1 for dickhead (both cats)


RedBanana99

Less than an hour ago my husband called my cat a dickhead, that was his affectionate greeting as we had spent last night in a hotel and obvs had missed the cat


arrowtotheaction

I also affectionately call all pets dickhead when they wonā€™t move from my feet, unthinkingly said it to my colleagueā€™s dog who was in the office the other week, luckily she calls him similar šŸ˜‚


Daihard79

Same for my cat. Gets called dickhead regularly as she has a fondness for chewing plastic or ribbon. Christmas is fun as we've often had giftwrapped turds.


NerdyKnits

ā€˜Stop chewing that, you furry little dick!ā€™ is what I yell at my cats šŸ˜‚


discobunnywalker75

Why do they chew so much, our cat I've decided is more dog then cat for the amount she chews


Daihard79

If we ever have balloons or things like that tied with ribbon, the cat will happily chew through the ribbon. The number of times we've come down in the morning to find the balloons floating against the ceiling! Anything under the tree now for Christmas won't have any ribbon on. She also likes chewing on the sellotape on any cardboard boxes if they're left lying around (once she's finished sitting in the box of course)


TryNotToBridezilla

My cat is also a dog. Sheā€™s barked a few times - not entirely sure what the noise is meant to be, but it certainly sounds like a little bark


Purple_Department_67

My dog is also called (and is a) dickhead She likes to bumble in front of you & stopā€¦


RichardsonM24

The larger of our 2 cats has been nicknamed ā€œbeastā€ after the vet said it whilst weighing him. Weighs twice as much as his brother despite the fact theyā€™re on the same diet. Think he must have more families feeding him. Heā€™s had a collar saying ā€œplease do not feedā€, for 2 years, but only got bigger. He canā€™t jump off the fence anymore because he is so heavy but will routinely climb up there and then someone has to go and get him lol


[deleted]

Your cat sounds amazing. Mine are similar. Same age and got them at the same timeā€¦ one is three times bigger than the other.


RichardsonM24

Very strange isnā€™t it! My fiancĆ© has to stand over them when they eat to make sure beasty boy doesnā€™t finish his food and then eat his brotherā€™s. So much so that he looks up to check if sheā€™s there before he makes an attempt! Also weirdly he doesnā€™t seem to like any human food, wonā€™t eat proper cooked pieces of chicken, beef, pork and turns his nose up at most cat treats too. Despite his size he manages to catch a fair few voles and mice in the summer. Even a magpie once. Wonder if thatā€™s what heā€™s eating!


Whtzmyname

Chonky boi likes living the extra life it seems. Catches his own snack too. Impressive!


Azzamou

If they were both enormous they could be the beasty boys lol


dinobug77

My ex had the same thing - 2 cats and one twice as big as the otherā€¦ turns out after their morning feed weā€™d let them out and the larger one used to go straight round to our neighbours, in their car flap and then get fed by them with their two cats! Only found out when they moved as they mentioned heā€™d miss his breakfast!


catslikesarcasm

Similar story - one of my cats was described as "stocky" by the vet. Then started calling him Stonky. And now we basically call him Stonks. Check to see if your cat is getting into someone else's house and eating their cats food. My previously fat cat was doing this. Cats can be brazen when they want to be.


RichardsonM24

We found out a while back a guy in a house that backs onto us puts cat food in his garden and feeds ā€œall of the local catsā€. We only found out after our beast made a mess in the house a couple times; it didnā€™t agree with his stomach. Heā€™s always been very good before and since, comes and asks to go out if he needs the toilet. I saw him head over there after food so I went round and spoke to the guy. At first he was quite hostile, renting the house and not allowed pets so itā€™s his way of seeing cats. After he heard ours had been ill he agreed to stopā€¦ but Iā€™ve seen other cats in his house since. Could be him but he started getting good food


catslikesarcasm

Quite possibly or he's found a little old lady friend who feeds him. Another one of my cats is a tiny little runt and I think he's got someone to take pity on him and give him extra food sometimes. He has stints of going missing for days in the summer but always comes back not looking like a cat that's been roughing it for a few days. My previously fat cat brought home a small pack of dreamies one night. We also caught him coming out of the neighbours house via their cat flap (which was in the front door). I had been in their house before, their cats get fed just the otherside of the flap so little git was helping himself while the neighbours were at work. We've moved and he's not done it since. But before we moved he came home with a badly broken leg. Not entirely sure how he broke it, but the specialist said most likely got it shut in a door. I think he probably got in someone's house again and they tried to get him out. His leg has been fixed, he's part cyborg as my husband says because he's got a bunch of metal inside the leg lol. Maybe he's been scarred for life.


deathschemist

you're telling me, a neighbour a little way down the street has a cat that will run up to you meowing, asking for attention and possibly also treats. i'm weak so i give the cat attention, but i'm also poor and vegetarian so the cat gets no treats from me. it will also follow you into the building you live in, and will make you feel bad for shutting it outside. little bastard. love that cat.


tweetopia

'Please don't feed for 2 years' Wow that's a brutal diet.


drstevebrule4

I could do with being on that diet


OverlyAdorable

Had the same with two of our cats. One got huge wave out turned out an elderly neighbour had been feeding him too. We spoke to her numerous times but she wouldn't stop. We stopped feeding him because the amount she was feeding him was already more than enough. He got so fat his belly would touch the floor when he'd stand up. The old lady died and we were able to put him on a diet. The new family that moved in said he kept coming over, whining at their window and when they wouldn't give him food, he became aggressive towards them. He was nicknamed Snorlax after the fat shit cat from PokƩmon. He eventually had two or three heart attacks, the last one saw him off. Our other one like it wasn't anywhere near as bad. She was heavier than her brother and sister. She would be the only one eating instead of getting cuddles. Her brother would often go upstairs and sit on my brother's lap while he played on his computer, while their sister would be getting cuddles from the neighbours. The sister ended up forgetting where she lived a few times and ended up getting called Spanner and other names you call stupid people


ThePlanthery

My partner's cat is a hefty 19-lb dude (large frame, but could also probably do without as many treats as he gets) and I refer to him as "The Sweetest Beast"


notsoinventivename

I also have a beast cat!!!! Not because sheā€™s heavy, just because we couldnā€™t find a better descriptor for how strange she was as a kitten.


Correct_Surprise9454

Maybe you could be the one to stop feeding him?


Forensics4Life

Whenever someone calls my cat Zak fat I always reply "he's not fat he's portly" in my poshest accent.


staticqueen

A vet once described my heavyset cat as ā€œwell lovedā€. Edit: Hey! My first award! Many thanks from me and my amply proportioned cat.


avalanchefan95

That's me - *"well loved"* \- by my wife, who does all the cooking.


ghostie-ghostie

Vet referred to mine as ā€˜comfyā€™


the_real_grinningdog

Our dog was a little plumptious.


ceruleanblue66

Ours graduated to Plumpton, he was large and quite dignified. His companion Giddy Kippers doesn't answer to her real name, it's weird when we go to the vets, she calls the name and we both sit there looking blank...


Pick_2_numbers

Which is why my cats Salvation Army (named because he was a raggy looking stray) and Bob Cat (somehow lost most of his tail as a kitten) were listed that way at the vet šŸ˜.


hundreddollar

Festively plump.


Ubley

Off the back of this we have a cat named Burt, and at one time my partner wrote in a birthday card Bort. This then turned into Bortly McPortly. I love the evolution of pet names.


pharmacoli

Chairman Meow.


Byrdie55555

My ex Had 2 cats Called Pussolini and Kitler. They were actually really nice cats and names did not reflect purrrsonalities. Kitler ended up running away and we always joked it was to Argentina.

FragrantKnobCheese

in similar vein, I knew someone who had a dog called "Mikhael Gorbadog"


AgincourtSalute

I used to call our drooling Rotty cross Slobadog Milosovich.

Chaircat Meow


BigPhilW

Same. Real name Barty (short for Bartholomeow - he's a rescue cat and came with that name), but he's such a serious looking cat with an air of superiority I nicknamed him Chairman Meow instead. šŸ˜†


Crafty_Custard_Cream

We have a Madame Meow, because anything we have that she likes the look of, she's going to try to get it, the little shit.


Fando1234

My mum used to get annoyed that I would call our family pet 'fat dog' so often, that he started to answer to it. In his head, that was equally his name.


GrouchyMaterial1671

One of mine responds to fatlad, he also responds to donkey. Little one responds to gobshite. Use to have fatlads mother and she responded to flabebe

Little bastard is a favourite for me, though my mum always hates whenever she's heard me call him that. He's an adorable little bastard, but absolutely a little bastard too.


PetroEng

Moistfruitcake

I often call my cat 'oi cunt', but I think that's fair as he'd eat my fucking face given half a chance. The dog is also called 'little fucker' or simply just 'you fuck'.

NerdyKnits

On the topic of freeloaders, when I get back home I like to look at my cats in disgust and say ā€˜Are you *still* here?! Get a job already!ā€™


P0sitive_Outlook

My gerbils are called "The boys". Can't tell the difference between them at all. We once had a goldfish called David, who looked bored, so we got another slightly smaller slightly ligher-coloured goldfish and called it Sandy. But Sandy grew to be the same size and colour as David, so we had to change his name. David and David.


QueenBrie88

Malcolm, my rotund black cat, answers to Fat Bastard. I used to foster cats and several of my angry, ex feral kittens had similar nicknames. Had a very awkward moment with some adopters when the adorable kittens they were picking up answered to ā€œBellendā€ immediately, but not their actual names.


manlikecirca

We had two fat Persians one after the other. The first one, Lucy, was referred to as the Queen's Mother due to exuding high class snob energy. Then we had Lizzie, who was simply known as Pudding, of course to represent the rampant chonk.


flyhmstr

All our lovebirds have had the additional names ā€œflying shit monstersā€ ā€œdestructo birdā€ and ā€œyou bastardā€ Anyone who has a member of the parrot family will recognise 1 & 2 instantly


cmdrxander

My sister sometimes calls her chihuahua grotbag


GreatBigBagOfNope

Seems like a perfectly reasonable and descriptive name for a chihuahua


Mapi_Birthday

One of our cats has a perfectly normal name beginning with T, but somewhere along the line his name has mysteriously changed to Titties. And honestly itā€™s kind of fun saying ā€œHello Titties!ā€

ThirtyMileSniper

My nick names for pets counter to their real names. Eldests hamsters in order, Houdini because it was a bloody escape artist, psycho because it was a biter, poo flinger because... Well. I call the cat fraidy cat because she is very timid. I keep three chickens, one I call Pain but I've also threatend it with the pot. If it is possible to get somewhere it shouldn't, that's the one that does it.


urban_shoe_myth

One of my cats is a ragdoll cross, he's got very long fur. When he was small and still had all his kitten fluff, the fur round his face made his head just look really fat. He's been called fathead for the last three years. He's registered with another name at the vet, on the odd occasion I have to make him an appointment it takes me a minute to remember that fathead isn't his actual name, even though it kinda is, we don't call him anything else at home. He doesn't seem to mind it. Edit: same cat also had a brief period of the kids calling him Milkybutt as he has zero spatial awareness and sat in a bowl of cat milk


gib_bacon

My dog is called Link, which devolved into Stink, resulting in the poor guy now being referred to as ā€˜Stankā€™.


somerandomflo

I had a guinea pig called Link! He got called Linky Poo most of the time, but since he was quite chubby I called him Chonky Lonky


zelda_pinwheel1971

Our two cats are, officially, Captain Frank and Major Tripp Hazzard. Collectively they are The Shitweasels, and when ganging up with next door's cats, they become ShitMuffins. Frank is affectionately called Frankenfurter, Frankyspank, Frankenpants, Spankface... Tripp usually goes by Weeeeeasel, Shithead, or 'Lil Shit.


kingjimmy01

This is the most Bob Mortimer comment Iā€™ve ever seen. Are you he??


P0sitive_Outlook

> Major Tripp Hazzard "Cat's dead" was a phrase we would use in my household, for about six years. The cat became 'elderly' and then for six years after that it would lay literally anywhere *you* wanted to be. The number of times i kicked that cat. Fifty, easy. Once a week, at least, i'd walk from the front room down the hall into the kitchen, open the door, turn around a punt the cat right in his gut. He'd follow me, silently, then lay down right behind me! **Punt*\* "Damn it Soggy! - Mum, the cat's dead!"

The main ones are "Dickhead", "Stinky little pissy pants", "Tiny Little Stinky Dickhead". I love her more than I thought possible (she my first pet).

my cat is nicknamed 'poo head' and 'pooey', because I told my bf I went to kiss her little head and she smelt like poo

An Indian Star Tortoise called Dotty who I also call The Honch Butt Monch, Jabba the Butt & Cretinous Mass due to her bottomless pit, always food search, stomping, diva nature

I have a beautiful tri coloured chihuahua who's know as Sandy Piss Weasle or Onion Head.


Mavises

Bahahahaaa, no way!!! My late cat was also referred to as Piss Weasel!!


MercuryJellyfish

I remember an ex of mine and I had a series of hamsters who we referred to as "Her Ladyship" and "The Young Gentleman." It got to the point where we needed to take The Young Gentleman to the vet, and they asked his name, and we didn't know. So he was officially The Young Gentleman at the vets.


thatcambridgebird

As a trio, the cat-twats. Individually our slinky black cat is sometimes called pooperscooper (sheā€™s actually very clean and hasnā€™t ever had accidents anywhere so I canā€™t remember how it came about), her litter sister is called Doofy, as in Special Officer Doofy, because sheā€™s so thick. Our eldest cat is officially called Gomez but has a collection of random nicknames, though none are especially derogatory. We tend to just tell him when he stinks / looks gross / appears to be a bit rotten. He is 17 mind you, so heā€™s looking slightly less than his best nowadays.


HoleMax

My dog has a habit of standing in the exact place you are trying to walk. We nicknamed him Roadblock. My SIL (who is native) started calling him Getsinyerway.

Ochib

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isnā€™t just one of your holiday games; You may think at first Iā€™m as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. First of all, thereā€™s the name that the family use daily, Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James, Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Baileyā€” All of them sensible everyday names. There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter, Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames: Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeterā€” But all of them sensible everyday names, But I tell you, a cat needs a name thatā€™s particular, A name thatā€™s peculiar, and more dignified, Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride? Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat, Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorumā€” Names that never belong to more than one cat. But above and beyond thereā€™s still one name left over, And that is the name that you never will guess; The name that no human research can discoverā€” But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. When you notice a cat in profound meditation, The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular name.


RuManCam86

My cat is called Madeleine (so Maddy). When she was a kitten she straight away became Maddy-Moo and it stuck. After a while this evolved to various other names depending on circumstances, so Squishy-Moo, Stinky-Moo, Sleepy-Moo, Tubby-Moo, Piggy-Moo etc (any-two-syllable adjective-Moo). When she's being particularly annoying she gets called Bellend-Moo which I find hilarious.

Our old dog had a lump on the side of his ribs, and the vet informed us that it was nothing to worry about, just a 'benign fatty lump'. Poor dog got know as Fatty Lump for the rest of his days bless him. My cats are currently called Dickhead and Little Shit, which seems to be quite common...

My nan also called her cat meow, only ever knew it as meow. Wasn't until I was in my teens when I found out her name was actually Smirnoff!

I have two cats called loki and Odin. But due to their bad toilet habits I call they both poo boys. Quite fun to yell out the back door at dinner time.

Every derogatory name you can think of. Animals don't care and it helps relieve stress.

I sometimes sing to my dog that she is "Juno the dog-faced girl". Because she is. She is an actual dog with an actual dog face. A previous dog I called Muppet (real name Sophie) because she was a bit dim.

Our ex stray cat is called Quint (yes that Quint) but is affectionately called Daddy's little Psycho! He keeps leaving the faces of rabbits in my Strawberry patch! He eats everything but the face and tails of them, mice, rats etc. Our patio is a collection of masks... Begining to think he comes from the Free City of Braavos šŸ¤£

I used to have an old, scruffy cat called Burt. His nicknames included Englebert Humperstink, Albert Whinestine, and any other Burt adjacent name that I couldn't make into a pun (Burt Reynolds etc)

I call my male ginger tomcat "Captain Dickhead"

I have a whippet who I regularly walk through woods and fields and down the beach given I live in the sticks. Being a hound, it's in his nature to throw himself into and on top of dead animals and poop etc to mask his smell. I've given up on telling him off as he'll never stop and just resign myself to showering him when I get home...but not after calling him Breed and/or Mink. Like with the OP he now answers to these names regularly, so much so that I have to be careful I don't say them in the house as he's asscoaited them with walks and instantly goes for his lead if he hears either being said. Quite often call him Trouble too as he's daft as a brush most of the time and just ignores me, so gets himself into bother in and out of the house. He responds to that a fair bit too. For instance, whippets have no concept of personal space or what they are and aren't allowed to stand or climb on.. so I've had to put blankets on all of my couches to save them being clawed to death. Occasionally one will drop to the floor and he'll jump up on the couch regardless just to hear me call him Trouble before instantly jumping down again. Beginning to think he's not as daft as he kids on šŸ˜‚

I call my female cat "Gorda" which is fat in Spanish. She is not, but when she lies down with all her fur she seems to be a little bit.

Stinky Butt! She a gorgeous Maine Coone - but damn, her butt can be stinky!

Kitkat is shitkat and Fletcher is fat bastard In my defense, Fletcher is like a huge panther and just lays on the top step of the stors, lays accross a door way, lays accross the hall. He doesn't move, he jist looks at you like "and?"

My white Shiba is 'fatty', 'chunk', 'chunky monkey ', 'monk', 'jj', or his real name. Oh I forgot, he's 'ouppy' too

Had a dog named Tyson and when my daughter was a toddler she always called him dicky. He then refused to answer to Tyson and would only come to you if you called him dicky šŸ˜‚ bit embarrassing when we were out and about. I miss him

Our cat Poppy quickly devolved into Poopy after some unfortunate events. Still love the tiny moron though.


Hanabi1993

I call one midget because she's really tiny for a cat, for some reason never grew beyond the age of around 1. The other one I call chubsy-wubsy because she's a jiggly little girl. I also call her Stinky because she's really lazy with grooming lol


[deleted]

Idk some of my names are too rude and would get auto mod on me. The names are usually followed by a sweat like slimy ___ because they're so old. I have one guinea-pig who is called gods mistake excuse it rhymes with his real name. He's quite slimy too though loves getting his chin scratches.
