In this naming guide, we will enlist some unusual, ridiculous and downright silly names for your new pet and they are actual names given by dog parents. Some names are bizarre, some are ridiculous and some are so inappropriate that you might even wonder who in the right frame of mind would have thought of naming their pet that! Without further ado: here are some creative pet names for your buddy.
Batman theme – Robin or Alfred
Name your dog Robin or Alfred! You will certainly think of yourself as batman when you say: ‘fetch me the newspaper, Alfred!’ or ‘to the park Robin’!
