REALLY WEIRD NAMES FOR PETS

The people who sell VPI pet insurance see lots of names of dogs and cats on insurance claims forms, so they know what names people are using.  And every year, VPI publishes lists of the most popular dog and cat names.  I have written about this before, and if you want to know more, you can read this post and this other one.   But I think the most popular names are pretty boring, so here's a more interesting list that VPI put together with all the wackiest names of 2012.

In my opinion, most of these names are truly weird, and you should never call your dog or cat by one of them.  But a few of them are pretty cute, and I think they are just fine, like for example "Bean Bag" or "Snazzel" or "Kitty Gaga."  One thing I have noticed is that lots of these names are about food.  I don't know if that means humans are just always thinking about eating, or if it means their pets are always thinking about eating.

So anyway, here are the lists.
