Speaking of name-jokesters, we once had a neighbor who had a dog and a cat. He named the cat, "Puppy", and the dog, "Kitty".

The animals, of course, didn't know anything was strange; but every time he stuck his head out the door, and called, "Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!" and the 80-lb German Shepherd came running (and vice versa...) it ran neighbors and visitors right up the wall!
