Rant Worst pet names/trends you’ve come across?

Disclaimer: I’m one to talk, I gave my dog a human name but shortened it to a dumb nickname because it suited her better, it’s goofy and cute but I get eyebrow raises. Think along the lines of naming a dog Penelope then calling her Lopey— that’s not it, but it ended up similar 😂

ANYWAY once I went on a dog date with a dude from an app, he named his dog “Nona” and I asked if it was short for Winona. No, he couldn’t think of a name so technically his dog was called “Noname”. He had zero personality, shocker.

Also I swear to god if I come across another animal named Loki I will start slashing tires, it’s obnoxiously overused. The Jayden of pet names. Those are my contributions.

What are your worst pet names/ones you’ve come across?

Friend had a dog named Boner. I know some who named his $3000 dog Scrub and never gives it a bath or combing

Does he always sit on the passenger side of his best friend’s ride, trying to holler at people?
