I have a lot of runners up, like Amrito for Amy, or Bradinglesmirch for Briar, but I think the dumbest has to be Scott Von Scott of the Scottsdale Scotts Who Did Scott So Scottily in the Battle of Scotteen Twelve.

So I ask you, what's the stupidest thing you've ever called your furry friends?

When I was 12ish, my mom got a pomeranian she named Lexie. I don't remember how it started exactly, but my friends and I all started calling her Spike, and we'd be so excited and pay so much attention to the dog while calling her Spike that she stopped answering to Lexie. So my 5 ft 4 mom was walking around with a 5 lb ball of fluff that only answeres to Spike.
