names

Choosing a name for your pet is not an easy task. It's the name that will stick with them for the rest of their lives, that'll make them come over when you say it (or totally ignore you when you say it if they're a cat). So, you wanna get that name decision right. Or not. 

A bunch of tweets that wet viral show that even the simplest, least inspired, least creative name can be a good one so long as its given by people who care about the pet. TC seems to be a name that people enjoy giving their cats, and guess what it stands for? The Cat. Yup. Simple, accurate, catchy and hidden in plain sight. You'll never suspect what it stands for unless you ask. 

We all have that one (/one hundred) weird name we call our pets. I call my cat "Bellybutton" sometimes, I don't know why or how it happened, but she gets it, the smart kitty. Well, apparently I'm not the only one who gives suuuper strange names to her adorable pets, and twitter has decided to prove it to me. 

It all started with one tweet by @eef_nestor that went viral that stated: "what I call my dog Spencer" followed by some of the most ridiculous names we've ever seen, names that put even my "Bellybutton" to shame. And twitter users jumped in, writing down their own ridiculous pet names with pictures to go with them, and a thread that started with one dog ended up an enormous thread with hundreds of replies that are all endlessly entertaining. 

Website Rover.com has compiled its annual list of the most popular names of our furry friends by accessing data on millions of cats and dogs in the United States and there is one main conclusion: what people are watching can have a major impact on the names they choose for their pets.

Here's to those who swerve the usual animal names and go somewhere completely different. Nothing is funnier than hearing a human name, expecting a guy, but instead seeing a fluffy doggo running towards you.

Dogs are so presidential!

Sometimes when you're walking down the street and someone nearby shouts, "Brian!" You turn and assume you will see a person... not a dog running towards their owner!! @imamberzoe asked twitter if they named their dog with a human name, and Twitter responded! 

Who knows, they might one day revert back to their original animal form. Via: Worldwide interweb
