Dog & Cat Pet Names List…
Results of the Wacky Dog & Cat Pet Names Competition Are In — Top 10 Dog & Cat Pet Names…
With Be Kind To Animals Week and National Pet Week upon us, it’s time to celebrate our cats, dogs and otherkind.
Our first dog as a couple was a northern Husky. In my boyhood, I’d been a great fan of Sergeant Preston of the Canadian Mounties, so of course I honoured him with the name Yukon King. Not original, but King he surely was.
Today, pet names have become quirkier, funnier and wackier. Thinking up a name that’s original and yet still suits the personality of our new family member has become harder — but worth the effort, eh?
And so this news story really caught our attention:
The votes have been tallied and the results are in – Dunkin Butterbeans nosed out Farrah Pawcett and Fiona Penny Pickles in the dog division, while Little Booty Ham Sandwich purred past Obi Wan Catnobi and Winston Purrchill in the cat category to earn the distinction of the Wackiest Pet Names of 2017.
Each year, Nationwide, the nation’s first and largest provider of pet health insurance, recognizes the most clever, creative and quirky pet names across the nation. After a thorough selection process, the top 10 dog and 10 cat monikers were chosen from Nationwide’s database of more than 600,000 insured pets and put to a public vote, where Dunkin Butterbeans and Little Booty Ham Sandwich were crowned the wackiest.
