    Ok just wanted to see was I the only weirdo who has funny little names for their pets? Hopefully not:o
    Well I call my 15 year old cat 'my little sicin' (as in chicken in Irish)
    My ginger cat is 'my little toffee crisp'
    And my big black cat who is slightly vicious is 'my black bear' or 'homer-sexual' cos his name is homer.
    I have no idea why I call them these maybe I am just a crazy cat lady?
    So would love to hear what names you call your pets:D

    I'm horrible for giving my pets random nicknames.

    My guinea pig's actual name is Sigur Rós. We call her Rosie, but she's also known as Chubs, Squeaks, Squeaker, Brat, Rosie Posie, Bumface. I love her. :pac:

    I have three dogs back home:
    My dog, Ruby, a Shep/Border cross, aka Bee, Beaner, Beans, Beezer, Bees, Brat, Bum, Roo, Goof.
    The family dog, Molly, a black German Shepherd, aka Mollywog, Moose, Moss, Moogle, Moosh, Muttley, Mooch (her nose is conveniently dinner table height, so she'll rest her head on the table and give you "the eyes" if you don't give her food).
    My mom's dog, Sky, a Bernese Mountain Dog, aka Skybird. I left home when she was a pup, so she doesn't have many from me. Mom calls her Ditz and Queenie.

    My dog that passed away a few years ago was named Guinness, a Shep/Lab cross, also known as Guinnie, Smartass, Goose, Guin. She was amazingly smart, and I miss her.

    Aww, I want my dogs back. :(

    I have two Jack Russells, Norman and Milly. Norman is only a year old but he's got an oul' man head on him, so I call him Mr. Norman sometimes.

    Milly, then gets called Miss Millicent (one of my friends started that) as a result. Milly also gets called Inky because she had a tendency to chew up biros and markers lying around the house and ends up sitting on them, and having multicoloured patches on her rear end. She's also called Mucky Paws as she seems to attract mud from the minute she leaves the house

    We have 3 dogs called Diesel, Logan and Pippa. Logan's mine and I'm terrible for giving him bad nicknames. He's frequently referred to as Logibear, Logie Wogie, Big Bear (or just Bear) and Man Man. I generally call him Man Man which I never thought of as odd until someone pointed it out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,753 ✭✭✭comongethappy


    our man cat we sometimes call Appa (that flying buffalo thing from Avatar), battletank, or Aslan

    our man rabbit we refer to as bonny bunny boy or purest evil (he likes to attack the cats)

    our kitten girl, we call her squeaks sometimes. Our eldest girl we refer to sometimes a saucers, because she gets huge puss in boot eyes when she wants something.

    And both of our girls, we call gomas (sp?), as they're vultures and will eat and get into anything for food!
