What's the dumbest nickname you've ever given one of your pets?

I have a lot of runners up, like Amrito for Amy, or Bradinglesmirch for Briar, but I think the dumbest has to be Scott Von Scott of the Scottsdale Scotts Who Did Scott So Scottily in the Battle of Scotteen Twelve.

So I ask you, what's the stupidest thing you've ever called your furry friends?

I live in Bangalore, India. The local language here is Kannada but I don’t speak it nor do I have many friends who speak it. I named my cat Bacardi and would call him Bacoo. Turns out the word for cat in the local language is also “Bacoo”. So for any local who saw me interact with my cat, it looked like I was calling my cat “cat”! I found out around a year later!

One of my Cats is officially named Cat. The other's called Later.

You need another one to call Choo. Then you can summon them all while saying goodbye to people with "Catch you later."
