Pet Names for your Pets

Pet Names
1

I was thinking the other day that I hardly ever call my two cats by their actual names. I have many other monikers for them:

[name_f]Lilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Lil[/name_f], [name_m]Wil[/name_m], [name_f]Lil[/name_f]-[name_m]Wil[/name_m], [name_f]Lil[/name_f]-Pil, [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]-Pilly, [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]-[name_m]Willy[/name_m], [name_m]Little[/name_m] Lamb, Wooly Lamb, Squeak, Miss Meowsalot, Doolally Lil (because she’s a little senile!) etc…

[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
Popsy, Pops, Popster, Popsydoodle, Monkey, Chunky Monkey, Muckypup, Trouble, [name_m]Tigger[/name_m]/[name_m]Tiger[/name_m] etc…

So what “pet names” do you have for your pets?

At the minute I have a dog and two guinea pigs.

Bodie the border terrier gets [name_m]Bode[/name_m], Bodes, Bodles, [name_m]Bode[/name_m]-[name_m]Bode[/name_m], Bodikins and [name_m]Bo[/name_m]-[name_m]Bo[/name_m] that relate to his name and Fuzzy-Face/Fuzzy-Features, my little scruffball or Scruffpup(when he needs his coat stripped), Woofy (when he barks at something stupid/imaginary) and Dribbley (his beardie soaks up water like a sponge). My dad also calls his the Bodester or the Bodemeister as well as a couple of other really weird things that I can’t remember.

The piggies haven’t got many names yet because they’re fairly new as I lost two earlier this year. At the minute [name_f]Portia[/name_f] gets Porshie, Porshe-Porshe and Wiggle-Pig 'cause she’s very squirmy. [name_u]Penny[/name_u] gets [name_u]Pen[/name_u]-[name_u]Pen[/name_u] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] (given nickname, full name [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m]), gerbil- [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] Boy, Charfee, Chals, Charnee, Chahles, [name_m]Kip[/name_m], [name_u]Kit[/name_u], Charliebutton, [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]-[name_u]Boo[/name_u] [name_u]Baby[/name_u]

[name_f]Comet[/name_f] (full name [name_f]Comet[/name_f] Asteriod), frog - Frog Singular, froggy, Commy

I haven’t got any pets, but my stuffed animals, phone and laptop have nicknames:

[name_f]Mocha[/name_f], the stuffed puppy: Moch, Mochety-Moch, Mochaccino
[name_f]Amy[/name_f], the panda cushion: Am (as in the first syllable of [name_f]Amy[/name_f])
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], the panda: [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Mag[/name_f]
[name_m]Percival[/name_m], the MacBook: [name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], the iPhone: [name_f]Cordy[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], Corla, [name_f]Corly[/name_f], [name_f]Cordy[/name_f] girl (a play on the song [name_f]Georgy[/name_f] Girl)

Yes, I know it’s strange to name my phone and laptop in general, let alone give them nicknames… I probably use the nicknames 50% of the time. Funny because I don’t give most of my friends nicknames.

Haha I’ve got three horses and six dogs! They all have nicknames :smiley:

Kavik the malamute gets called Kavva, Kavvy, Kav, Icky, Ickypoo, Jaws, Sharky, and many other predatory nicknames! He’s a marine enforcement dog so he’s quite scary!

[name_m]Floyd[/name_m] the Presa Canario was once a fighting dog but is now a complete softy, he gets called Furble, [name_f]Flo[/name_f] and [name_m]Bubba[/name_m].

[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] the retired army [name_m]German[/name_m] shepherd is [name_f]Mags[/name_f], Moo, [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] Moo, Girly Squirly, [name_f]Gigi[/name_f].

[name_u]Rudy[/name_u] the great dane is Big Boy, Roo, [name_u]Rudy[/name_u] Roo, Kangaroo, Hoppy (my son) or [name_m]Rudolph[/name_m] the Reindeer.

[name_m]Ziggy[/name_m] the beagle is Zig, Zigpig, Piggy, [name_m]Little[/name_m] Boy, Wolfy and [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m] Zoom Zoom.

[name_m]Elmo[/name_m] the westie is [name_f]El[/name_f], [name_m]Eli[/name_m], Momo, Squidge, Cutie Pie, Scruffs or Wags.

As you can tell we have a lot of fun with naming in our house, you don’t even want to know the horses’ names!

Our cat is 20. 5 years old! A tuxedo cat named KC originally.

I just have two dogs…

[name_f]Zoey[/name_f] (Yes, I know their names sound too much alike… I didn’t realize until after we named [name_u]Josie[/name_u]. It’s like a tongue twister calling both of their names!), she’s a 9 year old Cavalier [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] Spaniel who is aka [name_m]Zo[/name_m], Hairy pot roast, The big one, and Stinky.

What a fabulous nickname and how grateful I am that dogs and cats allow us to give them the most wildly creative and even goofy names and nicknames while still adoring us.

9

[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]: [name_m]Pip[/name_m] (most often), Pippen, Pipper, Pi**er, the last one substituted by my dad, haha : )

Surprisingly, I think (the) dog, darling and puppy are used the same amount as her real name but most often we call her [name_f]Tash[/name_f]
