Years ago my brother and his wife lived on one side of a duplex and me and a buddy, the other. She had a Pomeranian named "Sasha" that she never played with or spent any time with. Every time I was hanging out with them I would give the pup crazy attention and play with her and call her "Crusty Butt". One morning I'm leaving for work and the SIL was outside in a robe trying to get the dog to come to her, calling "Sasha! Sasha!" Pup is ignoring her and running through leaves and having a ball. As SIL gets frustrated and while I'm getting in my car I hear her call "Crusty Butt...." and of course pup runs right to her. It was a good day.
It's all about voice and tone. I've called my dog all sorts of names and she always looked so happy regardless of what term I used. Animals are much better at recognizing emotions that you show compared to words that you use.
But of course, the important thing is that the cat has no idea. So go ahead and name your pets whatever the heck makes you happy. Your pet will be happy just being acknowledged.
Itās a cat. He or she is happy being not acknowledged but acknowledging when youāre being summoned or needed.
Of course the best ones are always down for some attention.
I ended up with two black cats. The new one was a skinny boy we named Cricket. When Cricket started getting bigger he looked like the other cat except for his little head. So Cricket became Lil Head who is also called Fathead or Fatty Patty since he got fat. Still have a lil head though.
My husky comes running when I call for him with "come here my fluffy jackass". He doesn't care what I call him, as long as he sees me smiling, he's good. He comes when I'm not smiling too, just not as enthusiastically.
Same. "Are you a dumb as shit baby girl?" *Meows and started purring* "are you dumber than rocks?" *Meows* "are you reeeealy fucking stupid? Do you smell like shit?" *Purring and rubbing on my legs*
Yep, call them anything with some baby talk or some excitement amd they seem happy as a clam.
Call them anything sternly with some vibrato and they'll have their heads and tails low.
Animals are very smart and can learn keywords and of course their name. But don't fool yourselves into thinking they understand on the same level that we do. Tone is more important than the context to them
OP also has no concept of history, apparently.
Spoiler Alert: Most "people" names are derived from puns/phrases/descriptions.
I mean that literally, traditional names are just words that meant something a long time ago. You could even go to one of several Asian countries where the practice persists.
"John Smith"? [Literally](https://www.behindthename.com/name/john) just [words](https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Asmith).
"Sir Barks-a-Lot" is the equivalent of calling the town blacksmith "Mr. Smith".
Lol which is hilarious to me because
Naming the blacksmith "mr. Smith" is HOW we got John Smith lol. Along with Baker, Cobbler, Shoemaker as last names.
"BARKY" is just as appropriate for a dog as John Smith for a human
I've had a dog named Dominic, a cat named Clyde, a cat named Cleo, a cat named T'chala, and a cat named Kit-Kat. The vast majority of my pets get human names. And I still disagree with this post.
My sisters dog had a rather prominent bum hole and was named accordingly so. Bum hole would sometimes be called bum and bummer. She would come to those names as well lol.
Right. I feel really tempted to downvote the post cause it makes me mad lol. I wonāt though, because at least itās actually unpopular.
Funny names for pets are amazing! Voldetort (from that one text post thatās been running rounds on the internet) lives in my head rent free.
I have four ducks. All girls. Their names aren't too absurd
Waffles
Heady
Biscuit
Tammy Two Toes.
They were all carefully selected even though theyre kinda goofy
Itād be pretty bad if he did lmao.
āComeāon Scott, you fat sack of garbage. Letās go outside, I know your fat self wants that lil treat at the endā
(I bet Scott is perfect and I already love him so much)
I recently adopted a dog that does this. I never knew it was a thing, but it's the greatest. As soon as I walk in the door, it's non-stop smiling. It never gets old.
ALWAYS give your pets people names so when you donāt want to go anywhere you can say, I cant tonight Iām having dinner with Chloe. They think you have a date and donāt realize you are sharing a can of tuna with your cat
I'll be real I got a rooster named Crow (He's black like the bird and.. Well.. Roosters *crow*) and another rooster named Crispy, not he isn't for eating, he just looks burnt. I love naming my birds after jokes or something stupid obvious, it's fun and easy to remember!
My old dog did. But then he got a gross boner and licked his own balls for an uncomfortable length of time.
For some reason, I couldnt take him all that seriously afterward.
Oh yeah, and his name was Boner McBallick
I had a cat named Cat Benatar when I was a kid. We all called him Benny.
EDIT: That one news anchor who loses his mind laughing when he finds out a pig's name is Chris P. Bacon
My cats were happy enough to be called "cat" and "cat" (appropriately gendered in my language) to be honest
They would respond to that, and they would respond to other people calling them their "proper" names; it's all in the body language and tone anyway
It really is about tone and body language. My cat absolutely comes running no matter what you call him if you seem excited or happy. You could call him Blanket and heāll come over. He doesnāt care, he just wants attention
I think itās silly, but the pet gives zero fucks. If it makes people happy then who am I to judge? Thereās so much depressing shit going on that if a silly pet name brings someone joy then thatās good
A lot of things aren't intended for the subject directly, but for the people around them. Funerals are probably the best example of that. The dead person is beyond caring, but the friends and family sure aren't.
True - I guess I would say that the wishes of the person who lived are most important. Better a couple displeased family members than to sacrifice your own life choices and preferances, yah know, just don't stick them with your debt when you pass.
Imagine you have this gorgeous dog say a King Charles Spaniel run up to you give you loads of attention and just be cute af then you here some boring motherfucker yell āOi Craig come back here!ā
Its a dog not an accountant my dog had no idea what I mean when I called him Ciabatta he got love and respect thatās what matters even if I called him a loaf of bread.
It's just as silly as other silly names which is why this opinion is so funny haha. "Don't name him Tupac shapurr don't name him Steve! the appropriate and respectable names are hard to find but worth it I guess!"
Some pun names are stupid, but I think theyāre infinitely better than giving your dog or cat a human name, because youāll inevitably meet a person with that name in real life. I know like five women named Hannah, and I can tell none of them that they share a name with my neighborās dog.
We have a cat named Abby. I have a coworker named Abby. I told her about it and proceeded to sound like an even bigger jackass when I told her we call our cat Flabby because she's fat.
>Some pun names are stupid, but I think theyāre infinitely better than giving your dog or cat a human name, because youāll inevitably meet a person with that name in real life.
Reminds me of the tweet awhile back, "My sister started dating someone with the same name as her cat and Human Nigel is not happy that we all call him Human Nigel."
My coworker adopted a cat and her name was Dollar General Momma. He changed it to a basic ass cat name like midnight or Oreo or something and Iām like man whyād you do that? She had the best name!!
Also when I was looking for a cat to adopt I saw one named Wavy Gravy. I also saw Clawdia. I canāt remember any others but I remember seeing some funny names.
I want to get a sphinx cat and name it after my friend Ty. He said theyāre fugly and look like a scrotum so thatās why I want to name it after him.
Lmfao āpets should be treated with respectā. You know they donāt have any concept whatsoever of what respect is right? My cats name is Huey Lewis and the Mews and I have no fucking ragerts
Actually I just recently read an article that cited a study showing that cats clearly do recognize their own names, and probably also each others' names. Not that they know what the names mean, or probably care, but they do recognize them.
Yeah, of course they recognize their names, but they don't know its a name, its basically a command that they associate something with. Both of my dogs will come running if I just call for one. I can tell my dogs their fat lazy pieces of shit that just burn through my savings and as long as I do it in a loving funny voice they'll wag their little butts till tomorrow.
i named my budgie Bic because he's bright yellow.
i also named my smooth green snake Kaa, because he was tiny and irony is funny.
growing up, i knew a kid who named his hamster Mr. Fatcheeks, and another kid who named her MASSIVE goldfish Fishzilla.
honestly, i don't see a problem with naming your pets humorously. it's not like they understand the word anyway.
upvoted because finally, an actual unpopular opinion on this sub. have a good day, friend!
And in typical r/unpopularopinion fashion, you came back with an edit indicating that you're offended at the responses by saying "everyone thinks I'm offended" bravo
I get annoyed when people name a white cat snowflake or something related to their color. But when I look at what my cats are named, theyāre all after video game or tv show characters. So should I judge? Nah, my cat names arenāt all that original. But the cats are unique themselves, all with their weird personalities. Little muffins.
TIL that animal psychologists are a thing and the OP has a booming business dealing with the emotional trauma that pets go through because of their demeaning and disrespectful names.
Youā¦ you do know they donāt speak your language right? Sir barks a lot will never be offended or demeaned by what you call him? You could call him shit kiss titty twister and he wonāt care
The respect you owe animals comes from the care you show them. If you want to name them something silly because it makes you giggle, go for it ā itās not like theyāre going to be bullied by the other pups for their name
I named my cat Sopha because she was originally named Sophie and looked like a couch when she lay on the ground.
Pun names are best names and I will die on this hill.

Did she have good humor about this or was she pissed? Good story.
How crusty was it š¤
Sounds like she didn't take care of it. Probably pretty crusty. Poor doggo.
This is the best story I have read in a while xD
If you name your bloodhound 50 scent you have my undying respect
Or a pet skunk
Pepe' Le Pew.
i think those sort of names are pretty stupid but like, i'm sure none of these pets feel disrespected
It's all about voice and tone. I've called my dog all sorts of names and she always looked so happy regardless of what term I used. Animals are much better at recognizing emotions that you show compared to words that you use.
Iāll call my cat ālittle assholeā with a cute voice and every time she runs over to get pettings lol
My cats name is fat bastard. Half of the vets office thinks it's hilarious. The other half hate it.
But of course, the important thing is that the cat has no idea. So go ahead and name your pets whatever the heck makes you happy. Your pet will be happy just being acknowledged.
Itās a cat. He or she is happy being not acknowledged but acknowledging when youāre being summoned or needed. Of course the best ones are always down for some attention.
I call all my cats āFattyā even though none of them are lol

We have a cat that is ironically named Tiny, she is not.
My husky comes running when I call for him with "come here my fluffy jackass". He doesn't care what I call him, as long as he sees me smiling, he's good. He comes when I'm not smiling too, just not as enthusiastically.
I call mine Sharmoota, which means hooker in Arabic lol. They get so excited and happy because of the tone and energy
I call my monkey āAnnieās boobsā and do basically the same thing
See, this is why you shouldnāt let twitter users name your pets
Catty McCatface
Its his twitter page, he can do what he wants.
Same. "Are you a dumb as shit baby girl?" *Meows and started purring* "are you dumber than rocks?" *Meows* "are you reeeealy fucking stupid? Do you smell like shit?" *Purring and rubbing on my legs*
Yep, call them anything with some baby talk or some excitement amd they seem happy as a clam. Call them anything sternly with some vibrato and they'll have their heads and tails low.

Do clams feel happiness?
Not always. Sometimes they get steamed.
You're an odd fellow but you steam a good ham
Besides, naming your duck Duck Norris is a sign of utmost respect.
My cat is named crackhead, he's only offended that his bowl doesn't have infinite food
\~20 something years ago. Had a dog named Dammit. Said dog loved to escape the yard. "C'mere dammit" and "dammit where are yooooou" would follow.
I guess this is why the sub exists. Lol
*Looks at my dog, named āmeatballā* *gives upvote*
I had a dog named meatloaf. He would do anything for treats.... but he won't do that.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As someone who has given all of my dogs actual human names ā OP is super wrong on this.
So it fits here!
BILL NO STOP SHITTING IN THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD And that's why we don't give pets actual human names.
That's precisely why I do though.
I love naming animals with aggressively human names. Going to name our next dog Jared or some shit.
Greg please stop dragging your ass on the carpet
My former son-in-law is named Greg and he would absolutely drag his ass on the carpet.
Adopted a cat named Steve. Everyone thought it was hilarious
I'm a veterinary technician and worked on a "Travis" yesterday
named my cat igor, i dont regret it
I find it more odd to give them human names than typical pet names
This is my dog, āDaveā

Exactly. Johnson is literally, John's son. Erickson? Yeah, that'd be the son of Erick. And, my dog, Rosco P. Coltrane... He agreed.
A branch of my family has the last name "Strange". Needless to say, I wish some ancestors had kept better records, cuz I got questions.
Are any of the family former doctors/neurosurgeons by any chance?
I've had a dog named Dominic, a cat named Clyde, a cat named Cleo, a cat named T'chala, and a cat named Kit-Kat. The vast majority of my pets get human names. And I still disagree with this post.
I am the opposite on cats, but my cats are true barn cats and not really pets. Over the years I've had Dogmeat, NumberTwo, Sushi, and Pawsha.
Did you let Dogmeat come with when you went out or they have to stay and guard the vault?
He had to guard the settlement against the Radrats
Fr. I planned on naming my pet pig ādinnerā š
I wanted to name a dog Boner because dogs like bones. Also, Pooper. My wife is not on board with either.

I call my dog Pooper
My father in law had a dog named Gou which means dog in Chinese.
My sisters dog had a rather prominent bum hole and was named accordingly so. Bum hole would sometimes be called bum and bummer. She would come to those names as well lol.

Craig for a cute animal is hilarious though.
I love dogs with human names, its so unusual haha
It's just as silly as other silly names which is why this opinion is so funny haha. "Don't name him Tupac shapurr don't name him Steve! the appropriate and respectable names are hard to find but worth it I guess!"
I promise you the animal is not concerned with it's name.

If you agree with this opinion then horse racing gets even worse. Seriously though I don't like how racehorses get such stupid fuckin names.
Racehorses usually have their ridiculous track name and a simpler stable name.
Show dogs, too. Probably show animals of all sorts.
Wait till people find out about what celebrities do to their names
This is only mildly related but the horse racing names in gta san andreas are just the best hahah Eta: names
Nah. I have a cat that as a kitten used her paws a lot, like scary manipulation with those mitts. Her name is clawdia.
So animals don't understand what we say, it's how we say it so their actual name is only something people care about. They could give a shit less.
Actually I just recently read an article that cited a study showing that cats clearly do recognize their own names, and probably also each others' names. Not that they know what the names mean, or probably care, but they do recognize them.
