Dog House Blog, It’s All In The Name!


Molly The Wally Paws For Thought!


Molly The Wally Brings You The Top 20 weird names animal lovers give to their pets.


Toe-Jam and Pickywickywoowoo are among the 20 most bizarre names that owners have given their pets a recent survey has revealed. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home compiled the list after asking 225,000 facebook and twitter fans to put forward their weird names which were then voted on. Last years’ most popular pet name was Charlie. It seems that it is now the fashion to name your pet with ever more outlandish names. Dog names ranged from the embarrassing to the weird, such as Toe-Jam, Chicken-Fish and Towpath Tidy. Cats' names are as bad with Princess Maisie Dolores, Strawberry Surprise, and Mister Fuzzy Mittens. Just remember when you name your pet you may need to shout it out in the garden or at the park. Imagine, Doobywotsists come back here! With 9,000 dogs and cats coming in every year the staff themselves have to come up with unusual names for their new arrivals. They have to be quite imaginative but maybe not as imaginative as these.

Weird Dog Names Top Ten.
Chicken-Fish
Toe-Jam
Mr Terry Foxer
Doobywotsists
Towpath Tidy
Yum Yum
Tbag
Bootlebumtrinket
Mr Bongi Muggles
The Reverend Black

Outlandish Cat Names Top Ten.

Lullybellbells
Mr Wriggle-bum
Mister Fuzzy Mittens
Strawberry Surprise
Miss Moggit
Bat Cat
Princess Maisie Dolores
Spaterbot
Furbag


And we bring you dog speak courtesy of our friends Wallace & Samuel.  So if my peeps gave me one of those names it would be OMDT! Would you let your peeps give you a weird name?

 We have an award from Kirbys Dawg Blog!. We say a big thank you and we will pop it on our awards page with pride.

    Molly I'm filing papers to change my name to either Bootlebumtrinket Mom says she could call me Bottle, Bum or Trinket...depedning on her mood. I'm also partial to Strawberry Surprise.

    Poor Bootlebumtrinket...how embarrassed he (or she?) must be when he's hanging at the park with his pals and his hoomins start calling him...You can just picture him, tail and ears down, slinking away...or practicing selective deafness...whatever were they thinking?

    I've seen some pretty weird names. I also have a weird one for Shiner that I've used before. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it but I'll give you a hint... not much rhymes with Shiner so I got creative. "Shiner with the fat v------" lol

    OMD, those are the silliest names, but who are we to laugh - who ever heard of naming two of your dogs Thunder and Lightning, especially when you live in a part of our country that is plagued with bad thunderstorms? Silly humans.

    Thanks for the very spot-on horoscope.

    TW's neighbor used to have a cat named—heh heh—Babydoll Loverboy and every night she used to stand in the yard calling his name.

    This makes me like my name a lot more. I might be embarrassed to answer to some of those. Mommy does have some pretty weird nicknames for me though.
