Petfinder.com has announced the most popular and the most unusual pet names for 2007. The lists are compiled from animal shelters and rescue groups. Here are the results, so you can see if your pooch’s or feline’s name is in vogue:

What I want to know is, why do we tend to name cats after their fur colour? I’m assuming Smokey is usually grey, Oreo is typically black and white, and Midnight is black more often than not. We don’t seem to subject dogs to that practice, though, and we certainly don’t do it to human babies, otherwise I might have been named Blotchy, with Squished running a close second. But you gotta love this next list…
Top 10 Most Unusual Pet Names:
- Not Pants
- Zhivago
- Fat Alice
- Barney Google
- Cinderella Cookiedough
- Ditto Dippin’ Dots
- Fizzleboom
- Miss Booty-Q

If you didn’t know they were pet names, you might think they were porn stars! Now I’m pretty sure I could guess Miss Booty-Q’s and Bubba Big Foot’s claims to fame, but what’s Fizzleboom’s specialty?
