Our dog is called Nutmeg. A lovely name for a dog. But the sad truth is most of the time we call her Nutface.

A friend of ours called her cat Princess Clitorina of Hither Greenovia, or Clitty for short. She thought this hilarious until she went to the vets and they called out “Clitty Davies?”

Our cat, Ceremony, is mostly referred to as Cat. When we have a visitor, though, we revert to her real name so that we can say, “Come in, but don’t stand on Ceremony”

We had a dog called Dill, named after children’s TV character in The Herbs. I couldn’t understand why my Mum disapproved of me yelling “Dildo!” when it was time for a walk.

Our cat is called Catthulhu, after HP Lovecraft’s god monster, but as she’s obviously a cat, we just call her the Thulhu bit now.

Our three cats are Lounge (because he resembles a brown velour sofa from the 1970s), Bin Cat (always sitting on one) and PsychoMog (no explanation needed). Needless to say, none of those are their real names.

We’ve got a cat called Google. Her original name was Guts, because she was a greedy-guts. Guts became Gutsy-Goo, then Gutsy Goo Goo Goo, and finally Google. Makes perfect sense really.

My cat is called Moo as we found him on a dairy farm. But he’s a real biffa and doesn’t know he’s a Cat. So we call him DogBearCat. (Also Boo, Moomin, little Man.)

Cat called Macy. She’s grey so was just called Grey for a while. This was misheard by a friend, and she became Graham. My eldest son was then born, for no reason when he learned to talk he called her Eamonn. She’s now known as Eamonn.
