When I adopted my dog, his name was Doc. That didn’t fit him. At some point, I started calling him Dockie and that turned into Duckie. He started responding to Ducky so that’s his name now.

Duck or Ducky or Quackinator 5000. Because he barks too much.

Oh good I’m not the only one. I blame the fact that my dumbass cat doesn’t respond to her own name. This justifies me calling her a million different names. Honestly I just wished one would stick. Stupid cat.

I had an Addi who became silly goose because she was ridiculous. Then she just became Goose. Also Baby Goose, Little Baby Goose, Smelly Goose, Asparagoose (any time we ate asparagus), and when she was in trouble, Addison. Her original name of Addi was never used after the first week I had her.

I picked up a stray cat my daughter had taken to the vet for an injury. I told the vet something like, "It's called Bruno or Percy or something, they keep changing the name."

I bet she listens to any name as long as you're calling from the kitchen

Just one dog, with a bunch of names I'm missing in-between. And they all have multiple songs too

Currently we have Wooba, Poupa, and Pk fire (respectively; Courage, Lola, and Poundcake)

My favorite cat was Maggie, but I almost never called her that. She was Maggles, Mags, Magalicious, Magapottamous, and my favorite, which I called her most of the time, Mama Bear.

We still have her kitten, Chloe, who I always call Kitty Bear. Little Kitty Bear is 19 years old.

Evolutionary convergence; ultimately every name evolves in to pants

Fwiw, she knows, and is snubbing you.
