I had a cat when I was growing up who was a stray we adopted. He was named Tiberius, because when we found him, he was Roamin'.

We named the kitten we got last year Tuffy Titmouser. We call her Mouser.

I have no cats, but my mom adopted 2 recently. Miss Margot and Bean Burrito, usually beanie or empress Bean. Margot is Mar-got, hard T.

#2 That cat is exactly what I would imagine a cat named Rupert Beef Wellington to look like, and that dude is absolutely its human.

I had a kitty growing up I named Toaster. She was the runt and the only one not scared of me. So Brave, Little Toaster. Toast for short.

I've got Ozy (Ozymandius) Angel and Hurricane. I feel like I missed an opportunity to go full weird.
amarie911
I know a dog name Ozymandius! That’s a neat name!

RailRabbit
Our cat's name is Mochi (or Princess Bitch Kitty), and her brother was Sushi (or Sushiro de la Norte), may his soul rest peacefully.
meganical
My second dog’s name was Mochi, but my mom spelled her name wrong on the tag so we had to call her Moshi instead. She was crazy. RIP
RailRabbit
Our dog's name is "Timothy Duncan the Dog", or just Duncan for short.
scoutMoonDiver
When my cousins were very young they named their dog Christopher Columbus.
qyrriqat
My cats are Willow and Nia. Nia is a tuxie with an all black face that makes her eyes look bright. "Nia" is a Welsh name meaning "bright." >

Willow started out all white and turned into a tortie-point. As a kitten, her paws started turning grey and looked like pussy willow buds.

My wife won’t let me name our new cat Uncle Derrick. I really like it.

I suppose she's got something sooo original like Gizmo or Loki? :/ I like your choice.

I named my cat "Queef Malone" after a post I saw here. We call him Malone
DeinnsBeans
My brother had a cat named Charles Barkley The Cat. Amazing
georgedragonslayer
That's pretty good. Had a cat named Queen LaQueefa. We went between Queeny and Queefy.
missheevan
Not Queef?
DrSchlepenstein
Mines Shadow. He constantly follows behind me ever since he was kitten. Dart was also an option as he'd dart in & out of rooms a lot.
meganical
That was the name of my first dog. She knew her name but she rarely came when we called for her. She was a rebel and obsessed with food

Our youngest is that color. Thought he was black the first 3 months we had him. He laid in the sun and we discovered he's 'secretly brown'.
DrSchlepenstein
When i got mine all his paperwork said he was a girl and they had a pink collar on him. 3 months later his balls dropped.
pluralone
Oh goodness! Did you change her name? What is it??? (Ours is Monty.) (AKA Stinkerbutt.)
DrSchlepenstein
It took a few days for me to decide on a name. As I was looking to see if he had any habits/quirks to base it off of. Originally, i was 1/

My cat was named Scifi but pronounced Skiffy in reference to the ridiculous SyFy channel name change.
meganical
Good. Screw that channel and their cancelations of amazing shows around season 3!

My cats are named Sandwich (gray) and Waffle (black).

Our boys Noah and Tommi (pronounced just like "Tommy") in a kitchen portrait I call "Great Expectations".

They're adorable. What is the poster behind them?

It's a WoSaT poster, signed by Mike Jittlov. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_Speed_and_Time

That's rad! Thanks ?

Terrible names. I would be hungry ALL the time if I gave food names
Illithidbane
Technically, they are "Turd Sandwich" and "Twat Waffle," but we use the shorter versions in polite company.
AnythingIsADildoIfYoureBraveEnough
Just started fostering kittens and we have Cheddar, Pepperjack, and Gouda.
meganical
No Bleu?
AnythingIsADildoIfYoureBraveEnough
Would've worked for a Russian Blue!
whateversomething
How do you pronounce Gouda?
AnythingIsADildoIfYoureBraveEnough
Goo-duh
UncleMartha
How-dah, I hope.
AnythingIsADildoIfYoureBraveEnough
American pronunciation is goo-duh. And he's a good-a boy, so it fits!

You want your dog to have a name that is easy to call... Cats names don't matter so much.
cloud82100
With proper training three of my four cats come 90% of the time. The last one is a kitten and almost there. Simple is better with cats.
victalany
Agreed.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
My cats both knew thier own names. If you called one only the one you called would come (except around food time)
ath1337e
Well typically you settle on a 1 or 2 syllable nickname regardless of the length of the full name.
Beezlebubble
All my cats and my old roommates have come over when I've called. Finger snaps too...
PrivateDuds
This. You name your cat the most normal name and he'd still look at you like you're an idiot if you try to call them. So why not have fun?
Lovenkraft
My corgi's name is Sir Arthur Pendragon Lents-Parker. We just call him Artie. Or Stubhub.
alrightalrightalrightpartyatthemoontower
Archie. Also Archibald. And fat boy for our corgi. They are chunky.
justherefortheconfession
Research has shown that cats do know their names, but--just as we suspected all along--simply choose to ignore us

They also know the names of other cats in the home https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7d9vj/cats-know-each-others-names-study
PowwerOrb13
That's why my dogs have food as their middle names! Magdeline Waffles and Kevin Pancakes.
Sutashi
There's actually been studies the prove cat's not only know their name but respond to it at the same level as dogs.
EmeraldLight
Friend's dad called their dog Stains...
meganical
My cat doesn’t even know her name. Can’t blame her since I’ve called her hundreds of names over the 16 years together
minqapoc
I call my cat by all sorts of names. Doesn't listen to any of them.
kirbyvictorious
They know their own names. They just don’t like you enough to respond.
tinctures
Almost every cat I've ever had has come when I called their name (if they feel like it).
tinctures
The trick is to only call them when they feel like coming.
riderofthepurplesage
I only call my cat when it's feeding time. Still only about 60% effective.
kineticshift
Just like my ex.

As if a cat would respond when you call their name! (Just kidding. My cats responded some of the time.)
skylardarkfox
Simple. Name the cat Pspspsps.
KyenneSpice
My cat almost always responds if I say her name or meow at her! Only will run to me if I've got food in hand though
TychoTychoAlba
Cats respond. They don't obey...
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Mine always look over at least.

Sixty percent of the time it works every time. Kinda...

I gave my dog a name I thought was cool, and now my family calls him cholo cause they can't properly say his name ?
