Naming pets (and random animals) can be difficult.

They’ll live their entire lives chained to whichever string of letters you decide. And we all know you’ll be shouting their name countless times through a hundred different emotions.

Make it count. Choose something worth it. Like one of our Celebrity Animal puns.

Try getting mad at little Scarlett Johamster, Drooly Andrews or Paw McCartney. Just try.

2025 UPDATE! We’ve nearly reached 350 of the highest quality pun names. We’re also nearing our 10-year anniversary of this list, originally published on September 5th, 2015. So basically, a celebration is in order! We’ll be running a contest in the next few months but in the meantime let’s see if we can hit 400 names! Thank you all for your help <3
