I think that is a cool name, but how do you pronouce Imhotep .

My cousin's have a cat they named "Garage" because the cat strolled into their garage and never left.

This is kinda confusing but,my friend's dad's girlfriend's cousin's cat was named Pita.I thought it was just plain weird.She told me it meant Pain In the ....well you get it.But its still pretty strange.haha

How about Koko the signing gorilla who named all her tailless kitties "Ball"?

Not too unusual, but I once had at cat named Mr. Bojangles, when he was younger I thought he was a girl kitty and found out he was a boy so his name went to that

Any the weirdest cat name I ever heard was Tin Tub.

I am a blank right now for kitty names, but my friend has a guinea pig named GP Morgan Chase !

I think Lynxx was an unusual name. All the times at the vets (and there were a lot at the end) not once did I hear them call another Lynxx into the vets office. Only once I saw the name Lynx (with 1 x) on a shelter cat. It was after Lynxx died.

My oldest cat is named "Hoot" and my youngest is named "Swiffer" Long stories on how they both got their names

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of great foster kitty names, but I remember Bustopher, ...and of course I always loved "the Bobs": Fat Bob, Skinny Bob (who I THINK are Billy Bob and Tony Bob, but there could be four Bobs, I'm not sure.

)

There are really only two Bobs - Billy Bob & Tony Bob aka Fat Bob & Skinny Bob. (They are very vocal kitties & 'whine' a lot, so we named them after 3 brothers that farm & whine a lot about always being broke - ha! )

Bustopher was actually a shelter kitty, I don't know who came up with his name! I think it was someone working at the vet clinic?

I like to give my kitties longer, 'official' names. That way they know they're in trouble when I call them by their full name!

how do you pronouce Imhotep

And Feralvr - it's prounounced eem-ho-tep.

Well I might as well admit mine has an unusual name, Druskie Moo.

He's actually named after someone very special to me named Dru, but I made it creative and because he has cow colors he's Druskie Moo .

Eleka is named after the princess on Prince Of Persia, I get funny looks when I say what her name is too.

My friend named her cat Tonks lol.

We have a friend who's cat is named Smudge. He says it's because he looks like a smudge. To me he looks just like my Tailer.

I know a cat named Smudge as well she's a long haired black cat . Her buddy's name is Angus

Allen's name was originally Aslan, from the Narnia tales ('cause he's just so gorgeous, you know?). Unfortunately, I had to repeat his name over and over, and speak it SLOWLY, and no one got the reference and then one day I threw my hands up in the air and decided it just wasn't worth it. Before he was six months old, he was Allen.

Lets see...aside from members here I think my own cats names are pretty silly.

Bacon....cuz she smelled like Bacon

Crocadilly is named after Jersey Shore Snookis stuffed crocadile that I fell in love with. Yup Im addicted to Jersey Shore...lol

Tubba Wubba was named after a cartoon called Wow Wow Wubzy except she didnt look like a Wubzy and when I was singing the theme song Tubba Wubba fell into place and thats what she got.

All four cats though have another name that DF calls them since he thinks my names are stupid.
Hercules/Old Man
GiGi/Grey Cat
Crocadilly/Big Foot or Big *something else till he gets neutered now that he is finally 4 mths old*
Tubba Wubba/ Long Tail

People give me funny looks when I tell them my cat's name is Larry. It was actually my mom's suggestion when I got him. He was originally called Sylvester. It just didn't seem right. I was talking to my mom and she said, "How about Larry? I've got Curly, your brother's got Mo, we need a Larry." It seemed like such a brilliant idea, and it seemed to fit him!

Now, of course, all the people I know who are named Larry, or who have ex- or current husbands named Larry think it's just weird.

An officer I used to work with bought a brown dog named "Chocolatron." He said he just didn't have the heart to call him that, so he renamed him Choco. Not a cat name, but Chocolatron is an unusual name for anyone.

I thought Flash was unusual until I joined here and read what some cats on here were called

Sooty was meant to be called Jet but it didn't suit him that would if been different lol

There was a shelter cat some months ago, a tuxedo with a Hitler-'stache, who was named Mr Mustachio. I still think that was an awesome name.

People always said I had cats with weird names:

Sunshine (after a tool company)
Muffler
Mag
Battery
Tune-Up
Spark Plug
Turbo
Camshaft
Chassis
Caliper
Tail Pipe
(most of them were named like that because they were born/found at my dad's shop. The last 3 were adopted from shelters/vets offices but we kept the pattern going. I broke the pattern with our cats though)


and a dog named Ulli.
