    "Tafuk"

    When I'm out in the park and there are loads of posh aul biddies around I start shouting "Tafuk, here boy, c'mere Tafuk, will ye c'mere Tafuk".

    I don't even have a dog.

    Once went to college with a guy called James Bond. No one could believe it when his name got called out.

    No idea if he lived in house 007 though.


    Oh to add one more, my son goes to school with a kid called doobie!!

    My dogs name is Kosmo. However, his official name on the licence is Kool Kalandra Kosmo. My little brother wanted to name him Cosmo but cos of some weird technicality with the licencing, he had to have 3 names all beginning with K. Something to do with his parents and breeding?

    One of my friends had a cat called Kevin, just always thought it was an odd name for a cat, it belongs more to a 45 year old man.

    I like when pets have people names. My dogs name is Doug. Nothing too unusual or funny about that though.
    But I used to know a guy who had a budgie called Derek. I thought that was hilarious at the time.

    Official kennel names for dogs are usually daft.

    I knew someone who owned a pet crow called Snowball.

    Merkel's becoming a popular name for dogs. Especially bitches.

    Moochie the cat.

    Guinness the Dog.

    Cunning Stunt was a horse.

    Haha. My cousin had a dog she called Andrew. And she'd get fùckin mad as hell if you called him Andy.
    Real snotty "Excuse me... His name is Andrew, NOT Andy!!"
    To be fair, I don't think the dog gave a fùck either way.

    I used to game pet hamsters called Raymond Owens and Ollie Murphy.

    Have a cat now with no name. She arrived as a stray cat and we didn't want to get too attached so never named her. 5 or 6 years later, she's still here. We get her attention by just saying, "Here, you" or "cat" and she normally responds.

    Are you sure it wasn't hibernating?:p

    Our dog is called Bones. People assume it's male, but it's named after the TV character (very female).
