Move over, Fluffy and Fido. There's a new batch of pet names in town: "people" names! Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI), the nation's largest and oldest provider of pet health insurance, scoured its database of more than 466,000 insured pets to find the most popular dog and cat names of 2008. (Animals not insured by VPI were not included in the survey.)

But for those who like to think outside the (litter) box, VPI also came up with a list of unusual pet names, like Meatwad and Miss Fuzzbutt. The company's employees selected 50 unusual dog names and 50 unusual cat names, and then voted for the top 10 in each category. See which names were up to snuff.

"Dammit!" and "Jesus Christ!" didn't make the list.

My next dog will be named "Anathema" ...

Then I can tell it "Anathema sit!"

LOL.. our female cat is named Pandora but unofficially, her name is Pandora Bi**h. Our male cat is Marius, I just call him Little Dude.

Neither did “Free Sex”... always a good dog name for when they escape.

For a minute there, I though they were talking about what I call the POS, sometimes.

You know, like...POS, zero, muslim idioto, BO, those pet names.

My kitty brothers are a pure black and a black and white, hence, Oreo and Tar Baby. I get funny looks from some people when they find that out. (Very Santa Cruz)

I’ve long believed that cats shouldn’t be named, but merely numbered.
