Why, when looking for a name for your unique pet, should you not go off the beaten track - abandon traditional, fashionable, popular, beautiful, but tired nicknames? After all, there are a sea of funny names - ones that not every favorite has.
Dogs are very funny creatures, as evidenced by thousands of funny videos on the Internet and the experience of every owner. That’s why funny nicknames are so suitable for these creatures, surprising those around them, lifting their spirits, and making them smile. But here, too, a measure is needed - the name should not offend the animal, passers-by, and should not be misunderstood.

Interesting fact. After conducting many experiments, scientists found that cats, even when among many others, react exclusively to their name. And they won’t even move their ears if you call out to someone else. They come, however, for a reason, but in the hope of a light snack or at least a little belly scratching.
But the experimental group of dogs also clearly identified their name, but rejoiced at the very fact that the Owner called them.

The most famous mafiosi and gangsters
Organized criminal groups that called themselves “mafia” (researchers have not come to a common conclusion about the origin of this word) arose in Sicily at the end of the 19th century.

In the 20th century, Italians emigrated en masse to the United States and brought their rules and customs to their new homeland. The mafia reached the peak of its influence in America in the 40s of the last century. Nowadays, any well-organized and influential criminal group is called “mafia”. The most famous mafiosi:

Where to get ideas
For talented individuals, finding a funny nickname is not a problem. The slow-witted will have to tinker. If things are completely at a dead end, and a funny name is vital, you can use the following recommendations and look around for ideas.
- Favorite products. Chipsa, Belyash, Borscht, Soup, Plyushka, Adjika, Sausage, Sprat, Shpikachka and even Strudel are clearly unusual and sometimes even funny names. In addition, others will immediately understand what gastronomic preferences the owner or his pet has.
- Everyone needs money. If you can’t earn them, then you can attract good luck to your home by naming your pet Bucks, Poltos, Grosh, Rublik, Evrik or some Babosik.
- Horror stories. Black humor is not always appropriate, but it is ideal for funny dog names: Koschey, Dracula, Devil, Zombie, Horror, Witch, Homeless, Vrazhina, etc.
- Let's remember gadgets. In the consumer age, people want something more than they have. When you really want something, but there is no way to buy it, then it’s easy to realize your dream - name the dog that. It’s not for nothing that iPhones, Layphones, Smarts, iPads, Keyboards, Clicks, Likes, Reposts, etc. have recently appeared.
- We start from the opposite or play on contradictions. Hearing the nickname Fluff, it is logical to imagine a soft, fluffy puppy, but when one sees a Chinese crested, bald and trembling dog, an explosion of laughter is inevitable.
- Association game. Animals often resemble famous actors or politicians in their appearance. Isn’t it funny to call on or even scold Stalin, Jolie or Brad for disobedience?
- Funny habits are an unplowed field for wild imagination. Literally every pet has something in its behavior that makes it stand out from the crowd: sleeping in an unusual position, catching insects, eating cucumbers, etc. This is how Flies, Dormouses, Cucumbers or Yogis are born.
- We play up the features of appearance: a long dachshund can be called Mop, a squat watchdog - Cockroach, a small dog - Security for Pocket, a lanky pet that looks like a pack of pasta, McFoy.
- Let's remember character traits. Those who like to sleep can be called Dream or Splyushka, those who like to play with shoes are called Shoes or Slippers.
