What is the worst name you've ever heard?

Yeah, my little bother got a cat for his 8th birthday and he named her Tiger Lily. I think Peter Pan was his favorite movie at the time.
We also took in a stray cat which my little brother named Phil. He really loved Disney's Hercules at the time so he named the cat after Philoctetes. Surprisingly, the name really suited him.
I think my bostons' names are pretty normal; Joey and Lucy. We're not all cazy!

My cousin had a chocolate lab named Diva. I think it's a silly name, but it actually suited her quite well.
I think I would be more willing to name a cat or a pocket pet a strange name than I would a dog. I will always want my dogs to have "good" names, but I could totally see myself naming any other pet something strange. My cat was almost Popcorn, and my hamster from when I was little was named Little Guy (until I found out it was actually a girl). She was later renamed Poppy. I also remember my friends being upset that I hadn't named her Hammy. I just couldn't see myself calling something like Pickles or Meatball when I wanted my dog to come, but other pets are totally different IMO, as far as naming goes.

We had a dog named Burpees at the daycare.
We also had a Rocky 2. The kids named him presumably after their last dog.
We had a pair, Biscuit and Gravy, which was funny on paper but Gravy was a real jerk and we all felt stupid scolding him. GRAVY NO!!!
There was a dog named Little Man Tate that everyone called LMT. Not awful I guess, just a weird name for a dog.
I knew a female Gunner which really screwed me up. I thought she was male for the longest time. I also knew a female Miles.
When we adopted Baxter, his name was Pooh. We changed that right away.
I tend to give small animals ridiculous names. I had a Betta named The Admiral, named my boyfriend's solid black Betta The Goddamn Batfish, and just named his new crab Li'l Crabbington. He's very tolerant of me, lol.
edit: oh yeah, my roommate and I named a cat Mr. Universe to keep with the Firefly theme we had going, but ended up pretty much exclusively calling him Meowmers (short for Professor Catface Meowmers.)

I just remembered the worst name at daycare, it's a golden retriever named Caesare. That's pronounced "Che-za-ray", and god help you if his owners hear you say it wrong.
It's a rare day when we have only one Riley, Bailey, Charlie, or Luna. Lily is pretty common too. I think we've only got a couple of Mias and Tuckers.
Coco is our second most overused name, right after Bella. Regular daycare Cocos include a GSD, three different fawn boxers, and approximately 1/3 of the chocolate labs. We average about five Bellas and three Cocos per day. There are so many Bellas and Cocos that they go by their full names because there are too many Bella Ms and Coco Es. Except Coco S, who is always Coco S because the S stands for an 8-syllable East Asian surname.
We have a female Cooper and a female Banjo, both were assumed to be male until I was washing them and went "waitasecond..." Cooper had boarded with us several times over the course of months without anyone else noticing.
I deliberately mislead people by dressing my chihuahua in frilly dresses and dyeing him pink. I then correct them when they get his gender wrong because I like to make them question their assumptions. I don't get annoyed about it though...because that would be silly.
