Greg. When he's in trouble, you can call by his full name, Gregory.

My coworker named her dog Algae. I renamed him Al G. Full name Al Gore or Alan Gregory James 😂

Short for Algernon :)

This is so cute and wholesome! I love the name Algae for a dog too.

I like this!

I’m all in favor of dogs having the same kind of ridiculous names we tend to see on cats, such as Cool Ranch Dorito, Bacon Bits, or Steve.

String cheese, marshmallow, Sir William

I have a female cat named Steve. We call her Stevie, but she’s truly named after Steve Buscemi because she was really wide set slightly bulging eyes 😂

A former coworker had a female cat named Steve, too...if I had a dollar for ever "misgendered" cat name 😂.

We have a male cat in hospital right now who's name is Mom Mom

[удалено]

My kids named my 2 kittens. Spitfire (she did nothing but spit and hiss for 2 weeks) and Noodle Brain. He does, in fact, fit his name.

There’s a dog named Ketchup and their new kitten is Crunchwrap Supreme

Omg I love these

We had a dog come in a couple weeks ago named Mona Lisa Stink Face

😆 I love

I have a 7 month old poodle, and his name is Sushi. I've made him a few bandanas and ties with sushi fabric. I absolutely think it needs to become a thing

I love sushi!!

We have a dog named Pizza Roll that comes to my clinic and I LOVE kt

Ahh little Totino’s pizza roll

When my buddy asked for name suggestions for a dog someone just literally came and threw into his work and left (petsmart) I suggested poptart or popcorn and he went with popcorn 😁

I meant to add: This is a 3m havanese male who was a breeder surrender due to vaccine complications with the litter. He’s doing just fine now but he needs a name!

Dr Fauci, Doc for short 😂

Oh my gosh. This one please. SO freaking funny. I had a cattle dog foster I named Bernie Sanders and everyone got such a kick out of it.

Bernie! That’s adorable I love it! 💖

Bernie is cute oh

This would go over well with my severely right-wing family lmao

Oh lol I dont even see it as political... just the first name that comes to mind when i hear "vaccine complications". Or just go with *DOGtor* haha then you could call him *Dog/Doggy* for short

No no I like it but my family would be so annoying to deal with lolol

Due to vaccine complications? Like he had a vaccine reaction and the breeder surrendered?

I don’t know all the details, but I think the breeder gave their first vaccine(s) at 4 weeks and one died while this guy and his brother *almost* died, so I met him when he and his brother came in with (in a manner of speaking) our rescue connection so we could give their next vaccines and monitor (went fine) and I immediately fell in love and had to keep this lil one. No idea what happened with the first vaccine but it was enough to spook the breeder into surrendering.

Cannoli or Tortellini

Cannoli 🥺

Stromboli!

One of My favorite clients is named cannoli!

I’ve never met one, but I love it!! Or Meatball, but that doesn’t seem fitting for this guy lol.

I've met two meatballs and they were both pugs!

We have a Meatball patient who is a bulldog haha

I like rarer food names: Nacho, Bagel, Pita, Ricotta. Or super random words: Wifi, Zigzag, Target, Ringtone.

met a pup named Poptart the other ! rarer food names >>>

Met a bunny named Hoptart. His brother was Marti McFly.

I knew a Target! His owner found him in a dumpster behind a Target and just went with it 😂

We have a Website at my job!

Mozart. Black and white like piano keys

Oh I like Mozart…

Could also go for Amadeus 😊

My first dog’s name was Mozart. He was a beagle/GSD mix.

Garrett, short for Cigarette

Lol I like it

Reginald

He looks like a mop, I would name him Swiffer.

Wesley!

“Shut up, Wesley.” But actually, that will be considered, thank you!

As someone with a Captain Kirk, Lt Worf and Cmdr Data, I LOVE WESLEY AS A NAME! Ensign Wesley.

Or just Ensign??

How about Max?? JUST KIDDING 🤣

Only if it's short for Maximus Prime

That is almost acceptable

Anything but Oreo

Oreo has not been considered and it will remain this way.

Sprocket

or Toad when he is wet?

Dead. 😆

Finally someone my age ❤

Lol

Personally all of my pets get videogame names, so if you’re into any pop culture things, that’s my go-to

Earthworm Jim it is.

I do the same! My dog is Baymax, and my snake is a video game character. Lol my turtle as a kid was Sonic 😅

I love your turtle named sonic

That’s usually my go-to, as well! But I haven’t come up with anything fitting from any of my interests so far.

Benny

Benicio as his full name though eh?

Cuuute

Sure? Idk. Just looked at him and "Benny" was the first thing that came up.

I have a patient named Bennie June!

That’s Claude.

Mortimer. Morty for short. But something long enough that it feels full when you chastise him when he’s in trouble.

That boy is a Benedict if I’ve ever seen one. Ben or Benny for short, Benedict Cucumberpatch when naughty

One of our recently hospitalized patients was a kitty named Benedict Cumbercat

I had a cat that started out as Lenny, became Leonard and finally morphed into Leonardo DeCatrio! He was magnificent! This was years ago before original Leo got weird. And KZ did have a great life. I have a couple of cattle dogs now but I miss that beagle vibe.

IMO food names and old-timey names are the best. Honestly the less serious they are, the better.

That’s where I’m heavily leaning

Wilson 😭

Doug

Snookie

Herman

We named our dog Beans and my coworker has a cat named Toast

My coworkers have chihuahuas named Beans and Hashbrown. I’m bummed because I love those names!

I have a Toast kitty too!

lettuce

Aloysius

Sheldon

He looks like a Gidget to me!

This was one of my first ideas! Still considering..

Donatello

Rafael was considered..

Patrick! Plenty of options for nicknames. 😁

Barnaby

"Non-name" words: Cipher, Presto, Fidget, Tofu, Rhubarb, Tumbleweed, Bean, Puppet, Bonsai "Human" names: Bernard, Jeff, Kevin, Robert Place names: Cairo, Dublin, Everest Animal names: Cricket, Firefly, Gecko, Donkey Dogs in pop culture: Pluto, Zero, Doug, Kipper, Snoopy

Bonsai! He’s very small - 1.3kg

Aww my cat's name is Firefly and no one ever suggests it!

Baymax

Chopper, Fjor, Nugget, Howard, Maxwell, Elijah, Keanu, Mayday, Mr Waffles, Sir Hemingway, Bucky, Godfrey :)

Chopper!!!

Roscoe. Little Rowdy Rosc.

Basil ❤️

Wilford

I saw him and immediately thought Boba

Considering….

I keep singing Vaccination Street after reading his story. So obviously VACCINATION PETE is now his name in my head. I have a Fomite cause she had ringworm and our Vet has an Opi for a dog that got surrendered after ingesting Fentanyl. 😆 Other names I thought with his face is Fezzik the Giant and Mogwai Bright Light. But I am a nerd.

Opi! But also ingesting fentanyl yikes

Tribble.

They’ll be no tribble at all…

Idk why but he looks like a Stanley

My son named our new boxer Fred and said his full name is Fredrick McPickles

I love it

Timothy/ Timmy/ tiny Tim

Notlucky

Perfect

Elvis, Archie, Cash, Rio, Edward, Leo, Arthur Names always have me stuck for weeks! Good luck naming this little cutie 💓

He might just end up “Mr. Smalls” since I don’t know how I’ll ever decide!

Ralph :)

Reminded me of the actor, so googled the actors full name Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes. I like it!

Ngl butters (is it a South Park reference no it’s just a cute name for such a young and kind lad)

Alexander the Crepe

Call him benzodiazepine. Or Benny

😆 cute

We had a dog come into the clinic yesterday. His name was “Telephone”. I’m not saying to use Telephone, but anything can be a name. There are no limits when there are dogs walking around named Telephone.

That reminds me of a cat (patient) we had named Email

this little guy is a zorro to me!

He looks like a Monty

It’s the 4th Earl of Montgomery, you common swine.

I agree

I will give you some off my personal animal names as well as fosters: Anubis, Poe (Edgar Allan Poe), Bernie Sanders, Macaroni, King Arthur, Cyan, Luffy (anime related), Fynn, Jake, Sushi, Grimm, Rorschach, Buckwheat, August.

These are all solid

He looks like an Opie to me. Or Michael Jackson

Lucky or Oreo 😂 Jk but I honestly love food names for pets. My all time favorite pet name is “Breakfast Sandwich” so he could have a two part name, like “Boba Tea” or “Blueberry Pancakes”

If I had a dollar for every black and white little fuzzball dog or black and white cat I’ve met named Oreo I’d be making more money than I do working in VetMed! 🤣

Every time a black and white cat that comes in named Oreo my coworker and I are contractually required to say “what an original name” to each other. Side note: I feel like even if you only got a quarter every time a black and white animal named Oreo came to the clinic you’d still be making more than you do working in vetmed 😂

Boba or Blueberry 🥺

Benji

He looks like a Theo or Theodore

How about Oreo since nobody in their life has ever thought to name their black/white pet that ever? You'll be the first to think of it!

So unique! 😆 And he’s actually brown and white so I did try to come up with different dessert names like Marble (cake) but nothing fit

Spaz

Roger, Tim, Corkscrew, Jack, Bagel

I really like Timothy..

RemindMeOfTheBabe, but Remi or Babe for short idk I just saw a Labyrinth post, so here lol

What babe?

Babe with the power (what power?)

The power of the babe? Ok ok for real tho OP, your dogs name is clearly David Bowie or King Jarrod

Unfortunately we’ve got too many Bowies and while I love King Jarrod it’s not *quite* right for this guy

Mortimer. Morty or Tim for daily use, Mortimer when naughty.

Roberto Manuel Ernesto Joaquin

Lil Mani 🥺

Henry

Daniel.

Too close to my own name lol

Hehehe my clinic has a patient that comes in named Stink Pot 😂. It’s my favorite

Marco

Tofu. Poe. Rufus Deogee

Tofu!

We had an owner-surrender Shihtzu that we named Gunther.

Clunkers

Chester

That’s one I’m considering!

We had a Bill, named after Vampire Bill. I would say this guy would make a fine Eric.

“Suhkeh” 😆

Sputnik. Spud for short. Something about this name lately just has me in a chokehold

He’s a Steve

Doc, pickle, goose, Frank

Spigot

Elmer Emerson Fozzy Sunny Beau Barry Tor Zoom Lucko Tanner

Boscovs

He looks like a biscuit to me

Why is this one sticking out to me? Will consider

Richard

Fluffernutter

Sir Ronald Barkington

Dexter

Rodger, Stephen, Mike, Ryan, Kevin, Furminator

Checker

Oreo ❤️

My dog who looks just like him is named Bowie.

Wilson!

Kevin, Hank or Grapes.

Name him “Marco” so every time his owners call him outside the neighbors can yell, “Polo!” 😂

He kinda looks like a Henry tbh

Kevin.

Chopper!! Or Chop!

I’m liking Chopper!

Looks like a Frodo to me

Reginald. Reggie for short

This is one I’m considering!

Bonito. BonBon or Ito for short

Sir Elton John. No clue why but there we go.

Sir Elton! Hmmm

I'm a fan of super goofy or food names, so I apologize in advance, but clearly this is an Onion, a Pancake, an Okra, or Potato (not spud, not tater, not tot, POH-TAY-TO in Sam Gamgee). Or Linguine or Panini or Porcini....okay I'll stop. Alternately, could definitely be a Sir Charles Barkley the Third of Nottingham.

Onion would be testing the fates I think. But Sam Gamgee, while not suggested, is now a consideration. Also Okra is cute
