my cat's name is basically pronounced "cookie", but gets spelled kouki. found it a pretty interesting name because it means hope and/or happines depending on how you write it, it fit pretty well because i got him to help with my depression. and i think it worked pretty well. he is also very handsome.

I've got a friend who had a dog named D.O.G. He'd always pronounce it like he was saying "the OG". I never figured out whether it actually stood for anything.

I have an orange cat named Crash and everyone goes “oh like Crash Bandicoot?” And I got “No like Crash Team Racing” and it still is funny to me.

My girlfriend named her cat Neko. I named him Potato.

He often responds to Dumbdumb.

Like a person, a cat's full name is only ever invoked when it has done something wrong.

Cats have three names, the everyday one, the fancy longer one and their private personal one.

It's completely normal.

I wanted to have a interaction with someone else. I wouldn't have gotten it if I linked it myself.

Sounds like the name of a detective in a 70s' blacksploitarion satirical crime dramedy

My cat's name is Nancy Reagan. She's almost lived up to it. And no, she doesn't like you either and if you try to pet her you'll get what you deserve.

Some cats have official titles. I had another cat whose title was "Chief Inspector." He was known to do home invasions and conduct snap inspections of my neighbors houses. He had more friends in the neighborhood than me.

I still dream of adopting a group of cats named Magnus Nyarlsen, Hikaru Nakamewra, and Gary Catsparov

One of my cats is Sadie The Goat (the cat).

She had a really bad eye infection when we got her from my in-laws farm and we thought she'd lose an eye so we gave her a pirate name to be safe

She ended up not losing the eye but its still a fitting name

I tried to name my cat Lou (short for Lucifer) but eventually he got renamed Mao because he is loud and vocal and apparently we name animals by Pokemon rules in my house.

24

I recently got a cat that I named Fraldinha ("Skirt Steak" in Portuguese) because the person that gave it up had named it Li-Fraumeni after a genetic syndrome. He is now called Felipinho (Lil' Phillip), but also answers to Pest and Toe-biting son of a b****.

20

we had a cat named Sweetie Pie that we shortened to SP and eventually started calling her thing like Sauce Pan or Sausage Pizza

13

I've got a cat that answers to Sweets because she's such a jerk. We added that to her name to remind her not to be a jerk.

This is brother and sister Yeti and Sassy (short for Sasquatch). Yeti has only one eye.

18

We used to have a cat we named Julia Hackensplatter, because when we first got her she was so sick she'd cough and shitspray all over the place.

(She got better though, and lived quite a long time after a lot of love and meds.)

18

My cat's name is Possum. Not really a crazy name, but it has caused confusion before.

Once I was picking her up from the vet and said "I'm here to pick up Possum."

Then the lady at the front gave me a confused look and said "We don't treat Possums here."

18

Mum named a stray that adopted us Honeysuckle Rose.

Once it grew balls we called it Ralph.

16

One of our cats "misty" is really named "Mistinarperadnacles Hai Draco".
The brother is "smaug"

16

My late cat Dinah had the full name: Dinahsaurus Dinah the Dinahnator, but we often called her a list of other names. Dinahsaur was her favorite.

Now I have Ryuji aka chicken nugget, nuggie, tiny tiger

Yusuke aka Void Boy, Boy, Mr. Yusker

Yonah aka Yoyo, Demon, Evil One, Brat Cat, Yoner

Kimchi aka Kimmers, Kimmy, Kims, Kimcher

15

Dog name: Calypso

Cat name: Chunky Tomato Soup aka Dr. Poopenheimer aka Soup Doopington Esquire III (the third)

14

Legal name is Bubba since I don't know how to change it on his electronic tag (still registered to me)

For short ,he is Shadow

His full name is, Shadow The Master of Darkness and Deception.

13

Mine goes by Bitty, short for Bacon Bit as she's canonically the reincarnation of a stray I once lured in with slices of bacon.

I almost always refer to as The Bitty, in honor of The Cheat.

12

We've proposed "Routey" (pronounced like "Rudy") as a nickname for a future pet named "Littleton/Route 495" (named after the MBTA Commuter Rail stop). You could also do "Tony" but that's less fun.

12

I have one cat named Luci, Short for Lucifur.

Another cat called L.T. which is short for Lieutenant Columbo homicide detective with the LAPD.

12

I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed they aren't named after L.T. Smash. Lucifur is a great, and appropriate, cat name.

6

I also had/have a cat named L.T! It was short for "little tip" because he had just a tiny tip of white fur on his tail, otherwise a standard issue brown cat. The tip darkened away to nothing as he got older and he hops down stairs both front feet at once, so now his full name is Lieutenant Jack Rabbit.

In college we ordered all of our pizzas under his name. Damn cat loved pizza.... lol

12

Do you think the local pizza joint would love us or hate us if we started ordering under Mr Whiskers

I love Gubby. What a froggy name. Here is a photo of Blossom on top of Bubbles.

One of my cats is called Jack, but her full name is Captain Jack Sparrow. My dad named her when he was drunk on the first day we got her, after we found her in our garage as a kitten. Idk why he chose that name but I loved it so much I instantly agreed and we overruled my mom's attempts at rejecting it. I always make sure to tell vets her full name so they can put it in her file.

That is the most relatable nickname collection I've seen for cats

We all know they have 1 name but 5 nicknames

5

This was discounting the truly lazy ones where I just add -boy, -girl, and -cat to the end which adds an infinite supply of stupid names. We took Gyaos to a different vet than our normal one once (for a paw he cut on some glass he shattered) and they acted like Mouse was the weirdest nickname in the world. We didn't return to them ever again.

My male cat name Is "max" but for us Is "Maximilian von blistifer I" or in short "mr blisti"

10

I’ve got a Mrs. Big Kitty. Her late husband was Mr. Bunny Rabbit. She was enormous and he had thick fur like a rabbit.

9

We have Miss Murderpants the Pretty Pretty Princess, John Henry "Doc" Holliday, and Crowley the King of Hell.

8

My cat's legal name is "About a girl". The cattery named her. But we call her Muffin

My great grandmother had a cat named Dirtyface that outlived her by about a decade. It was an orange cat with super dark ginger fur around it's mouth and eyes.

We had several pets when I was a kid so here's a short list of fun names: Patches (a calico), Tom (a one eyed outside cat that yowled at the door if you let him in), TicTac (because we called him ticky-tack because it sounded like kitty cat), Twinkle (a really sneaky bastard that like to swat at your feet from under the bed), Drack (short for Dracula because he liked to bite everyone), Misfit (because she liked to squeeze her body into places she couldn't actually fit).

I rescued a cat a few years ago from a Walmart parking lot. His name is LittleFoot. He's polydactyl so he has extra toe beans making his paws super big and I thought it was ironic to call him that.

Therr are so many fuckin weird names in here, I've never thought anyone would name their cat 5-7 words. 🤣

7

Best friend's cat "Bosco" was short for "Baron Bosco Von Sandwichstein the Third."

5

Growing up I had a cat named VKK, which stood for Vicious Killer Kitten because she liked to bite ankles.

6

My dog's name is James Bond. We usually just call him James but people really get a kick out of it when we tell them his full name.

5

His given name is Lockheed, but you're much more likely to hear one of us yelling at the Turd-Burgler.

5

I have a cow cat with one big black spot on the top of his head and on big one on his back. He's a very big boy who looks rather imposing but he's really sweet. We call him Kenny or Kenny-chan but his real name is Kenpachi (from Bleach). Coincidentally he lost an eye to cancer over a year ago so he looks even more like his namesake now.

Pocky cause my kid couldn't say Rocky so we changed it.

Stray kittie I found on the parking lot where I work. Cool AF.
