Ask Lemmy

One is Miss Dog and the other one I call Pequenina. I'm Brazilian and pequenina is little one, but her name is Nina, so thats why pequeNINA

I have a toy Yorkie named Jazzy, and I call her either Jabu or Sweet-Pickle

I used to work at an animal shelter, and my go-to nickname for the dogs was just the first syllable of their name twice. Joy becomes Jojo, Daisy becomes Dede, Torrey becomes Toto, Peter becomes Pepe... It took me about a minute to figure out that I needed to call him Petey instead

I have a little dog named Carlos. Always called him Turd. Also Turdlos, Turd-boy, Turdle, and Turdley Von Turdlington.

As another cat owner here is the list of names that are not his name;

Him (as in, "Is Him a good?"), Tubs, Tubsalubs, Stink-O Man (I will sing, "Show me! Show you! Stink-O Man! Stink-O Man!"), Kneady/Needy/Needful/Kneadums, Hanger the Danger Kitty, All The Speed, and Whosa Baby (which involves picking him up and snuggling him thoroughly while he pretends to hate it, but the minute I open my arms to try to let him go he gives me a pathetic look until I snuggle him some more, a game which has gone on for tens of minutes before)

Not a current pet but I want to name my next cat Hattibagen McCat

His real name is Louie

He goes by Louie, Lewis, Lewis Hamilton, Douglas Luiz, Dougie, Doogie, Dougie Howzer MD, King Louis XIV of France, Doug Larse,.

One of our cats we nicknamed Dyson because he vacuums up all the food.

Let's see,

Nutmeg: Nutters Nutters BoButters Nutters BoButters Pants POO Butt

Jessie: Jessers Jessers BoBesseres Jessers BobBessers Pants ( see a patern?) Cuddle Bumpkins Also dumb as a stump but twice as cute as the cutest stumps

Timone: Mister Drool boy Sir Timoneus the Hungry

Gizmo: Gizzy Princess Gizzy Her Royal Highness Gizmodius the Sassy

Miss Fartypants. It's not as bad now that we've adjusted her diet, but at one point that tiny cat could clear the room.

Silvery Boy

Silver Bro

Naughty Boy

Antigold

Lugia (a reference to Pokémon Silver)

His real name is "Silver", and he's a bitey snowshoe cat that has psychopathy.

Schnutzeplotzepfnitzekatz!

Guess the language...

Kitty Cat-o-matic With The Four On The Floor

Rinner Rinner Chicken Dinner; She with The Fluffiest Of Pants

Puddybuttajellywidda Baseball Bat

Dumblebum, Bare Butt, Dingleberry, I call my dog pretty much anything but his name.

When I was 12ish, my mom got a pomeranian she named Lexie. I don't remember how it started exactly, but my friends and I all started calling her Spike, and we'd be so excited and pay so much attention to the dog while calling her Spike that she stopped answering to Lexie. So my 5 ft 4 mom was walking around with a 5 lb ball of fluff that only answeres to Spike.

Fuckercat

May he rest in peace

My cat is named Princess Vivienne von kitty pants.

Princess consuella floofy pants

Super rocket baby bok choy. His name is Ryu. I forgot what prompted that nickname 10+ years ago. But it stuck.

We literally call our dog "Stupid". TBF she is pretty stupid.

Have a cat that scrunges every time you pet her head. Nicknames have evolved.

Scrungy cat, scrungy baby, scrungy butt, scrunge, scrung (hard G), scrungabutt, scring, and we've arrived at scringus bingus being the most ridiculous thing so far.

Stinkface. You can probably guess why.

Mutiny.

Short for Sra. Sable Prettyeye the Tiny Enigma Mutant.

Bubbus McPuppador?

Honestly, I have a shitload of dumb nicknames.

I’ve got two dogs and I sort of aspire to the most ridiculous nicknames for them.

Maggie > Maggie Moo
Moodaloo, Mooster, Mooffaletta, Big Smooch

Banjo
BlibbertyJigibbet, BeanieJeanie, BibbityJibbity, Lil’ Stink

Good Elon, my dog. Because I know there's a bad one

I've named my dog "in-the-way dog". No matter what you're trying to get done, there he is.

Open a drawer? He's blocking it. Walking through a doorway? Step over him. Carrying a hot saucer to the sink? He's right at your feet when you turn around.
