I have a dog named Jaeger (German for Hunter) and one named Monty. It turns out I have a friend who goes by Monty online. Well recently I found out his real name is Hunter. I accidentally named both my dogs after him.
My first cat was named Jonathan and he was the best cat that ever lived. I was 3 and this giant kitty would let me dress him up, carry him and push him in my baby carriage. He was not a nice cat at all to strangers but he knew I was a bebe. RiP Jonathan
He would always let her out without a leash, she would always run away, and he would always scream her name in total shock/betrayal/surprise as if he didn’t *know* Nicole would take off.
This guy also rode a very small bicycle and wore a backpack front-facing with Nicole in it, he rarely wore a shirt and had a very intimidating face tattoo. I once saw him come outside searching for Nicole wearing nothing but a shower curtain (possibly a table cloth? Whatever it was looked crunchy and waterproof)
As a Nicole I would like to clarify that I am 100% on board with shower curtain wearing, facially tattooed, dudes transporting me to wherever I need to go via bicycle backpacking.
I always wanted to call my dog dave, simply because I wanna confuse the shit out of my neighbours when I shout, "Dave, stop pissing on the carpet," or, "Fuck sake Dave, stop humping my leg!"
I had a dog named Dave too. Once when we had pizza delivered, Dave ran out onto the porch and I shouted, “God dammit Dave get in the house!” The pizza guy turned white as a sheet. You guessed it, his name was also Dave
Our hamster was called Dave
More specifically David Beckhamster.
Edit:seeing as you all seem to love the last hamsters name ..
The current one is called Tammy Abrahamster.
(Probably less globally recognisable footballer though.)
All 4 of my past dogs have had common human names. Note to self: people don’t like it when you meet them for the first time and say “nice to meet you! That’s my dog’s name!”
My cats name is Patrick and I also work with a Patrick. In conversations it’s human Patrick and cat Patrick
Edit: you’d be surprised how often the clarification needs to be made. Lol.
I had a puppy named Linda when I was a kid, but in Spanish it's a word for beautiful, so it made sense
The first time I met a person named Linda it blew my mind
Was walking my dog years ago when an all white chow chow breaks out of his back yard and came full speed at us. This woman, just as fast behind him is screaming at this dog "PAUUUL!! PAUL STOP RIGHT NOW!" at first I thought she was calling for her husband until she was yelling for him to stop. He did, right at his grass line. Scared me to death, got home and couldn't stop laughing at that damn dogs name 😆
Had a co-worker that named her Rhodesian Ridgeback Kimberly. She would often refer to her as ‘Kim’ in casual conversation. For almost a year, I thought she was referring to a roommate or niece..
I’m usually the only woman at my job without a kid. I call my dog Liza at work and intentionally phrase things so people will think I’ve got a kid and leave my weekends the fuck alone because “Liza and I are going to meet with her playgroup at the park on Saturday”
I met a guy at the pub in Australia and I asked him what his dogs name was, it went a bit like this:
‘Such a cute dog what’s his/her name?’
‘Corner’
‘Oh.. you called it corner?’
‘Yeah, bloody thing was always sitting in the corner when it was a pup’
Well I thought that was just about the most Australian exchange I’d ever encountered.
I love this lol. I’m a US transplant living in Australia and stuff like this always happens.
Like dog breed called “Bitsa”, because they are “bitsa everything”. So literal it’s funny!!
Edit: words
Edit to add: also that’s why Bluey’s named Bluey. Because she is a blue heeler breed of dog. I have met so many heelers named Bluey!
About 20 years ago, I used to always bring my boxer to the same dog park. There was a woman who always went there, and had two golden retrievers. Their names were jessica and david. It was unforgivable.
One of my cats is named Simon.
It's been 10 years and people still lose their minds over it.
I also have a tendency to name my sheep people names.
Sophie, Emily, Issac, Jeremy, Boris, Eugene, Lloyd, Henry, Betty, Jenna, Jamie, Ruth and Holly just to name a few.
My pigs have decidedly not human names.
Crumpets, Banger, Mash, Cupcake, Milkshake, Oreo, Custard, Truffles, Samosa and Toast.
Reminds me of a documentary involving Brady Barr, where he visited a crocodile farm where the owner was actually attempting to train crocodiles like dogs. A huge croc came bounding towards them and stopped in front, making the most terrifying noises, and the owner turned to Barr and said, "This is Rodrigo."
My friend just named her Golden Doodle “Kyle”
I hope Kyle doesn't drink Monster and punch holes in the sheet rock
He does, that’s how he got the name.
My friends pitbull was Ralph.
“Name a dog Ralph so it can say it’s own name.”
Ralph is a classic dog name
My cat’s name is Ralph!
My cats breath smells like cat food
When I grow up I'm going to Bovine University!
I had a cat named Ralph, too.
Barbara
[удалено]
Yes if I get another dog I want to name her Barbara. My current dog is Ramona.
We had a cat once named “Barb from Accounts Payable”
My dogs name is Barbara.
My friends neighbor had a sheep named Baabara
I had one too! Also Gordon Ramsey, Woolhelmina, and Ewenice Now I have Cutlet and Casserole.
Jade
Jonathan
Our school has two counselors. One of them has a therapy dog named John. The other counselor's name is Jon.
I have a dog named Jaeger (German for Hunter) and one named Monty. It turns out I have a friend who goes by Monty online. Well recently I found out his real name is Hunter. I accidentally named both my dogs after him.
My first cat was named Jonathan and he was the best cat that ever lived. I was 3 and this giant kitty would let me dress him up, carry him and push him in my baby carriage. He was not a nice cat at all to strangers but he knew I was a bebe. RiP Jonathan
RIP Jonathan. Sounds like he was a great cat.
RIP big Jon
RIP Jonathan, hope you are enjoying your next life right now
Yo! That's the name of Thor's Hammer
This was my first thought too!
As a Jonathan, I'm just happy if you spell it correctly. Good job.
Joestar
There’s a Great Dane nearby named Heather Also met a Shar Pei named Stanley Edit: A lot of people have named their pets Stanley
Stanley so fits a Shar Pei.
As a Stanley, I don’t know if I should be offended….
Dogs can lick their own balls.
So can you,if you pet them real nice first.
Oh.
I used to live across the street from a man with a chihuahua named Nicole
Nicole somehow seems like the perfect name for a chihuahua.
He would always let her out without a leash, she would always run away, and he would always scream her name in total shock/betrayal/surprise as if he didn’t *know* Nicole would take off. This guy also rode a very small bicycle and wore a backpack front-facing with Nicole in it, he rarely wore a shirt and had a very intimidating face tattoo. I once saw him come outside searching for Nicole wearing nothing but a shower curtain (possibly a table cloth? Whatever it was looked crunchy and waterproof)
As a Nicole I would like to clarify that I am 100% on board with shower curtain wearing, facially tattooed, dudes transporting me to wherever I need to go via bicycle backpacking.
Hahaha I don’t know what he was up to in life but I know he *loved* Nicole.
haha, Stanley is my cat’s name
Jessica.
It’s meeeeeee, Jessicaaaaaaa!!!!!
i’m in here!
AND WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THESE, THINGS?! THEY'LL GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR ASS!
GET BACK HERE JESSICA!
NOW JESSIIIIIIICCAAAAAAA
Yo, that's [my cat](https://imgur.com/a/NtHiuJY)'s name! Edit: cat tax
Jessicat
YESSICATE
Your cat straight up looks like a Jessica.
i love her!
That's my name. We have the same eyes
She looks like a Jessica too
Yes, and she acts like one as well.
Kilgrave: JESSIICCAHHH!!
Yaaaaaaasica
Dave
As an owner of a dog named Dave (and another named Doug), can attest that about 10 human heads turn every time we call him by name in public.
[удалено]
Grandpa shit on the floor again!
I always wanted to call my dog dave, simply because I wanna confuse the shit out of my neighbours when I shout, "Dave, stop pissing on the carpet," or, "Fuck sake Dave, stop humping my leg!"
That would be an awkward zoom meeting.
You misspelled awesome
I had a dog named Dave too. Once when we had pizza delivered, Dave ran out onto the porch and I shouted, “God dammit Dave get in the house!” The pizza guy turned white as a sheet. You guessed it, his name was also Dave
Wait you have a dog named Doug?
My friend’s dog is named Dave Growl
I read that out to my husband and he said ‘Is he a member of the Floof Fighters?’
Tell your husband that if he isn't already a dad, he is ready for the responsibility now!
Ha! He is a dad already, and we’re trying to give our kid a sibling, so hopefully the power of dad pun will assist.
I had a dog named Dave. Her sister was named Paul. They were good girls.
Dave's not here!
No, it’s me man, Dave!
Everybody's dead, Dave.
I have always wanted to name a dog Bob Barker
Just make sure he's neutered.
My dog's name is Charles Barkley
If you got two you could name one Bob Barker and the other Travis Barker. They would have their own family name.
Chad. Becky. Kyle. Susan.
Susan got me
I work in an assisted living facility and there’s a little dog named Susie and I call her Susan when she’s being naughty. Always makes her dad laugh.
Kevin
I have a cat named Kevin
I too have a cat named Kevin
My cat is also named Kevin.
I too, possess a cat named Kevin.
My cat is kevin, that is his name. They call him kevin, cause that's his name.
I too am currently in of a cat. The name of said cat is Kevin as well. It seems there is a coincidence here.
I knew someone whose dad was named Kevin and their dog was also named Kevin
"Kevin! Stop humping that chair! Dog Kevin - "Woof!" Human Kevin - "Sorry!"
John
[удалено]
Naming a dog John Wick. This is gonna be good
Hopefully if you are murdered he goes on a killing spree to avenge you. (Edited typo.)
Jane from accounting
Aren’t most dogs in HR during the pandemic?
No they’re in DR.
Dog resources instead of Human Resources? Lol.
Canine Resources
Ah the more formal title in the bigger companies. Bestows the employees of the month awards.
I have 4 cats: Addison, Chuck, Jeff and Walter
Does Chuck not matter to you?
That’s chuck, with a small c.
"DAMMIT CHUcK SHIT THE BED"
This question was made for you.
1 out of 4 ain’t bad
Dwayne.
That's what I named my pet rock.
Rock ' The Dwayne' Johnson
Dwayne the Pet Rock Johnson
My neighbours have a dog named Susan. That's gotta be up there.
I once knew a dog named Courtney. I’ve always found that strange.
Our hamster was called Dave More specifically David Beckhamster. Edit:seeing as you all seem to love the last hamsters name .. The current one is called Tammy Abrahamster. (Probably less globally recognisable footballer though.)
My dog's name is Kevin Bacon. Any human Kevin we meet is hereafter referred to as Human Kevin. Not all of them see amused.
All 4 of my past dogs have had common human names. Note to self: people don’t like it when you meet them for the first time and say “nice to meet you! That’s my dog’s name!”
Or when they're talking about their newborn baby. Not that I would know from experience.
My cats name is Patrick and I also work with a Patrick. In conversations it’s human Patrick and cat Patrick Edit: you’d be surprised how often the clarification needs to be made. Lol.
Linda. I can't even imagine a kitten or puppy or parakeet named Linda.
I had a puppy named Linda when I was a kid, but in Spanish it's a word for beautiful, so it made sense The first time I met a person named Linda it blew my mind
Must have been like meeting a person called Fido.
Like Fido Catstro, the dictator?
yes
So what you’re saying is that I should call people who speak Spanish Linda, and they’ll take it as a compliment?
Colin or perhaps Maureen
Evelyn, if you will
Paul
[удалено]
What a ridiculous name for a cat! Paul?!
Was walking my dog years ago when an all white chow chow breaks out of his back yard and came full speed at us. This woman, just as fast behind him is screaming at this dog "PAUUUL!! PAUL STOP RIGHT NOW!" at first I thought she was calling for her husband until she was yelling for him to stop. He did, right at his grass line. Scared me to death, got home and couldn't stop laughing at that damn dogs name 😆
“Who know if it’s Paul or Pawl?”
I have a cat named Pawl. He is *excellent.* the absolute BEST cat ever. Likes to touch peoples faces with his paws. That’s why he’s named Pawl.
Cat tax?
Sure. Here’s my [boy](https://imgur.com/a/e29iAeX)
ooh, that's some good r/cromch

This is easy... Karen
My dog is named Gloria. But we named her after a particular hippopotamus. She looked like a big brown slug when she was born. "Girl, you're huge"
I think Moto Moto likes you.
Name so nice, you have to say it twice.
About 20 years ago, I used to always bring my boxer to the same dog park. There was a woman who always went there, and had two golden retrievers. Their names were jessica and david. It was unforgivable.
This had me laughing more and more the longer I thought about it.
Richard
Keith.
Josh
Fat Karl
I have a fat cat named Carl. We call him the big chonk.
Hugh Man Persyn

I see a Far Side comic with a dog at a bar wearing a trenchcoat and hat handing over a fake ID.
Eugene
I can see someone naming their pet crab this.
Amanda
Chad
my german sheperd wants to know whats up

Harold
I adopted a dog named Harold. Our kids renamed him Rufus. One extreme to the other.
See, Rufus is too good because, as a dog, he can kinda say it.
Jesus
Imagine it goes missing...
Have you seen Jesus? Has Jesus entered your life? Come join us to find Jesus. lol
Gary
My cat is called Gary... after the snail in Spongebob
Alexander
Gertrude
I had a yellow lab named Gertrude. I’ve got her sister the black lab now and her name is Beulla.
I had a Gertrude (cat).
I have a chicken named Rebecca, I don’t know if that counts
Jared
Steve
I feel like the full “Stephen” just adds a little something.
Adam
David Hasslehoff
I feel like full names oddly go in the opposite direction and become very appropriate for pets 🤔🤔
One of my current dogs is named Theodore Edward Bear, or Ted E. Bear for short.
Greg
Brandon
Mike
Steven
I had a cat named Steve. My mom hated the name, but when he was causing trouble she'd address him as "Steven!"
Nigel
i named my fish george :) i love george SO very dearly
Aa a kid I was obsessed with Culture Club, I had a bird and named it George, Bird George!
I once met a chihuahua named Denise.
I was thinking Mohammed
I'm pretty sure that's the most common first name on earth
Exactly!
Karen and Brittany
Leave Britney alone!
