People Prove How Weird Humans Are By Revealing The Nicknames They Have For Their Pets
Pet names can be sweet, silly, and completely unhinged, sometimes all at once. That is exactly what makes this roundup so funny, because these people did not just name their animals, they gave them full-blown alternate identities.
From dogs and cats to hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and bunnies, the pets in this story come with official names and the nicknames their humans actually use. Some are adorable, some are bizarre, and some sound like they belong in a crime drama instead of a living room.
The real surprise is how quickly one nickname can turn into a whole personality. Read on.
A dog named Cooper.
If my dog's name were Cooper, I would definitely call him Pooper-Cooper or Coop the Poop.

A dog named Cesare
I have no idea how most of these nicknames make sense.

A cat named Beetlejuice
Why isn't Beetle Butt on this list?

Some of these nicknames are doing the absolute most.
A hedgehog named Michi
She is an awfully cute little nugget.

A dog named Noodle
That's THE Noodle to you.

A cat named Nugget
There are endless nickname possibilities with a name like Nugget.

I wonder if the science behind pet nicknames comes down to:
the simpler the name, the weirder the nicknames?

Okay, this is a very complex name with a lot of potential. I see the hooman used it well.

A dog named Koda
What an angel.

It only gets weirder from here.
Two Bunnies: Jigsaw and Hannibal
I'm a little concerned but also intrigued.

A cat named Grunt
Bizarre name. Fascinating nicknames.

A cat named Pasha

A dog named Kenzo

Honestly, the nicknames might be more memorable than the pets' actual names.
