If you thought that dogs with hooman names were bad, then you are in for quite the shock as these nonsense nicknames for puppers are far more cringeworthy.

As dog pawrents ourselves, we get it. You are lazing on the couch, out for a toilet walk with your pupper and you have the bright idea to call your doggo by a different name. A name that suits them right then and there in that moment. But much like a tattoo chosen in haste, those names often lack any kind of legitimate and non-embarrassing use outside of that singular moment and so you are left with such ridiculous names as 'Boogersnot' and 'Stink-ocalypse'.

Names that would not be registered by any government or vet, and names that certainly cannot be used while down at the dog park. But nonetheless, we cannot help ourselves when creating these names and then reveling at their use in private. So we figured we would do our part to curb the growing trend and show all you pupper pawrents just how wacky these names actually sound.

    Not a new idea, but I always love scrolling through these threads and think there can never be enough of them. My dog's name is Trillian Astra, AKA Bobillion, Cotillion, Quadrillion, Babydog, Bunnytail, Boba Eyes, Miss Stink/Miss Smell, One Trillian Dollars, Trillian Two-Poops, Slugworm, The Leaping Bounder, Ferocious Beastie, The Creature, or Little Miss Boiled Chicken. She responds to anything with "Miss" attached to it at this point.

  • At a certain point surely this is just poor planning. After all, it is kinda like if you were to teach your dog multiple words for the action of sit. Suddenly you would find your dog sitting while you were innocently conversing about something totally different. Now this poor pupper could be walking down the street and overhear someone who is talking about a Quadrillion dollar loss in the stock market, or someone who loves a dancer who goes by the name of The Leaping Bounder and think that they are actually being called by these strangers. That is a situation that is no good for anyone.

  • See, some of these naming ideas are just no good for anyone. Sure, in the moment they might seem funny and silly. But what happens one day when you need to inform the pawlice about how to find and call your dog if they went missing? Or worse still what happens when you have children and need to teach them how to address the family dog, but you do not want them using lewd language in general. This is why dogs have names in the first place, and a lot of those names are strange enough to begin with. They do not need these nonsense names added to their titles.
