Silly nicknames for your pets.

Albus_Scope

Have you noticed your pet never keeps it's original name?  Are their new nicknames even close to the original?

My dogs have ended up with the nicknames; Mr Nibbles, Buttbutt and Doofy and my cat is Ham face. 

Have your pets real names morphed into new names over the years? I'd love to hear them and if there's a story behind them.

Jelly hasn't been with us very long so doesn't have many yet. I wonder if that's in part because her name is already a 'silly' one? 
Stinkybum is frequently used for her though. 🤢

Oh gosh, my daughter and myself are terrible for this. 

My cats name is Alfie and we very rarely call it him. He’s known as bow, bowy boy, handsome boy, blue eyed white boy (when we are talking to him)😂 

He answers to them all. We say we are just going to call him Alifie but it never happens. Even my grandchildren call him “bow” 😂

Very good topic this is .

My Dad was walking our dog, called Jenson, and came across two late teenage girls who said they really liked him and asked what his name was.

He said "Jenson".

They said that was a weird name.

My Dad said, no it's a human name, like the F1 Driver.

They said "what, Louis Hamilton?"

🙄

Albus_Scope

Ah yes, that well known F1 driver Lewis "Jenson" Hamilton.

I've sung to my pets before lol 😆. 

Albus_Scope

I sing to my pets all the time. The dogs now wont eat their food unless we sing their special food song to them.
