What are some seemingly innocent but really BAD pet names?

My wife, a vet tech, has a hospital patient named "Stephanie." It's a dog. We're both grossed out by this name. What are some others?

Why does Stephanie as a pet name gross you out? Am I missing something?
- Normal human names are weird for pets.
  Hubert for a dog? Sounds pretty good. John, for a dog? Umm...
  
  Most all names are human names. Why is Stephanie or John different? My dogs name was Charlie and it was just fine.
- I agree, I actually think it's kinda cute.
Well, years and years ago, my neighbor had a little black-furred mutt.
Wanna guess its name? It rhymes with bigger.
Now, you wanna hear the hilarious part? My neighbor was African American. She named it that because, "ain't like white folk don't call black dogs that, at least she'll know to come when someone says it, and she can bite their ass."
Miss Margaret was awesome.
- Wow, that qualifies for sure.
Poor Stephanie 😆 I personally think it's great when pets have human names haha
look up what h.p. lovecraft named his cat
- "Why don't you just tell us you lazy piece of....OH."
  
  yeah i would've said it if it wasn't so awful, apparently he named it that when he was 9
Adolf, Lenin, SweeyPussy, Dessert.
- My neighbor has 2 dogs named Reagan and Kennedy. We came reeeaaal close to naming our dog Gorbechov.

My aunt has a cat named "Rachel"
Rachel isn't really cute or endearing on its own and doesn't really shorten well. So they just call their cat "Rach".
- I feel like that's a name they wanted to give a child, but missed out, so it went to a cat.
My 13 y/o cat is named Sarah, she's a sweetie and the name fits her. Though super long names for pets are odd to me
Old picture, but have some cat tax
- Many long and happy years ahead, Sarah!
Naming your cat Paul
- PAUL! THAT'S A PERSON'S NAME!
Yeah I think the name Stephanie is funny, not gross. It isn’t as catchy or easy to make short and curt though, but it actually is, “Steph” works ok.

Any name you can't yell from a car while driving slowly around a neighborhood. Odds are your pet will get lost at least once in its life.
Anyone else come in here thinking they were going to see things like “honey,” or “snookums?”
