  4. A few of us were playing Xbox at a dudes house one evening, he was a friend of a friend. None of us knew him too well. Host leaves the room with our buddy and shouts back to us, “boys, Martin might come in and sit with you for a bit, he’s harmless though” We’re sitting there like, what the hell does he mean? Does he have a weird brother? A weird roommate? Turns out it was his cat.

  6. A friend has a snake named Mitch. Cracks me up every time I think about it. Mitch. I honestly don’t know why. Just such an unexpected name for a snake I guess.

  8. I knew a dog named Crack Money. My dog's name is Bar Fight. People seem to enjoy that one. I'm glad I chose it because people like to say it and she loves people and the attention it gets her.

  10. Was looking for a hedgehog to buy, and found one named ‘Sir Hissalot’

  11. I totally read this wrong and thought you meant the actual species or colloquial name at first and I immediately thought of animal names in German: Stinktier – stink animal (skunk) Faultier – lazy animal (sloth) Schildkröte – shield toad (tortoise) Waschbär – wash bear (raccoon) Nacktschnecke – naked snail (slug) Fledermaus – flutter mouse (bat) Truthahn – "THREATENING CHICKEN" (turkey) Yep. Best animal names I've ever encountered.

  13. Xenomorph, for a cat.
    — niconicobeatch

  14. I LOVE it when pets have human names. None of this Fido, Fluffy or Spot rubbish. I love and think its hilarious to see a cat called Jessica, or a dog called Simon or a goldfish called Nancy and stuff like that.
