We looked after Topsy the Pointer in NSW. I really liked the name - until the HO mentioned it was short for autopsy (!)

You must be kidding!
The HO was a nurse. I hear they can have an… interesting sense of humour 
@Gabba we did suggest that a numbering system might be easier - my boys would be Number 5 and Number 6!

Friends had a very old cat named Velcro. Someone I told thought that was very funny and asked “was she born in the 80s?!” Yes, yes she was.
A couple I know have the last name Love, so their dogs are always some play on that where it would be funny in a vet’s office, i.e., “Next patient, Wreckless Love?” “Hunka-Hunka Burning Love?”

A three legged dog called Tripod. He loves his name and almost falls over wagging when you use it.

My daughter took a found dog to the vet. They asked ‘does he have a name’? She replied 'Maybe '. They put name down as Maybe and it stuck.

@mdarden1x Until I read your comment I had completely forgotten that we did a housesit where one of the chickens was called Onion!

I just remembered I used to have a friend who had a cat called Eartha, as in Eartha Kitt. The cat was a darling diva just as much as the singer was!

I had a cat called Mouse. Though that’s not that uncommon.

One of my childhood cats was Eartha. It suited her especially because she was a compost-coloured tortie.

I got to sit for the sweetest Labradoodle last year named Barack Obama! He was the best!

My mum’s Maine coon cat is called Toker, after one of the seven dwarves (Dopey in English), in Swedish it means mildly silly and crazy. And he isnt living up to his name.
I knew two cats named ‘Hi’ and ‘Come here’.
Otherwise I have animal sit rather normal names like Stanley and Buffy at TrustedHouseSitters.
