In 2008, according to VPI (Veterinary Pet Insurance), the 5 most popular dog names in order were:
- Max
- Bailey
- Bella
- Molly
- Lucy
The 5 most popular cat names were:
- Max
- Chloe
- Tigger
- Tiger
- Lucy
Some of the more unusual and amusing names included:
Edward Scissorpaws, Sir Lix-a-lot, Sirius Lee Handsome, Peanut Wigglebutt and Buddah Pest.
There are numerous examples of male pets being given female names and vice versa before the owners realise the true gender of their animals. Some amusing names I have personally seen are:
- Mojo
- Dog (yes unbelievably imaginative!)
- Fok Fok
- Nad (owner thought it was funny to refer to him as No-nad after desexing)
- Freddy Krueger (actually appropriate for cat with sharp claws!)
- Ding Dong
Does anyone else know of any other funny pet names?

Freddy Krueger = Cat?
