When my dad was in college, he had two fraternity brothers both of whom were named Bill. What made it funny though were their last names: Darling and Angel. They made my dad an honorary Bill, then decided using their superior 19 year-old logic that they'd use only their last names.

No matter where they were on campus, they were Bill, Darling, and Angel. :troll: As long as those three fools lived, that was how they greeted each other. They ended up becoming a neurosurgeon, a orthopedist, and a lawyer/MD, but that 19 year-old still lived on inside each one.

It’s not quite as unusual as doing it to your children, but I’ve seen some funny ones with my vet patients.

Batboy- black cat. I actually love this one. Also, there are currently lost pet posters in my neighborhood for a cat named Batman.

Marshmallow- my white longhair male cat. He was named before we got him by a 7 year old girl, but I still find it funny since he’s a big-boned, “masculine” looking cat who just happens to be very fuzzy.

Sweet Lips- small breed, spoiled dog. This might me the weirdest I’ve seen. It just sounds… wrong. :cautious:

I hope that's a joke! lol

Some members of my husbands family have interesting names

Smartest (girl)

Beauty (girl)

King

Present

Moon glow

these are the English translations of their name. I often wonder why in english we have "names" in the traditional sense and not called by our position or descriptive words like in other cultures?

Western culture uses traditional western names, however many folks have nicknames which are usually very descriptive of them as an individual.
