Re: Funny names for pets in Canada
Looks like we're close to increasing the size of our family very soon, so we're currently challenged with naming the furball.
It's a boy, a tri-colour Border Collie. Sounds fancy but he's the smallest of the litter (not a runt, though, just runt-ish), is pretty ugly but offsets that with "kind" looking eyes.
I have a secret plan to come up with a funny name or pronounceable acronym that I can attempt to [innocently] convince the girls to choose as his name.
A name that, if you heard it, you'd have a laugh but the locals wouldn't blink an eye at
Examples:
Frak
Growler
NED
Chav
Boner
Suggestions welcome (what's the worst we could get away with?)

I don't know about what name you could get away with, but human names are usually a good bet for turning heads. Richard would be a cool name for him...

Re: Funny names for pets in Canada
Most of these are perfectly acceptable names for Canadian humans.

Re: Funny names for pets in Canada
We recently got a puppy. A girl
Me and OH pulled out all these names:
Penny- so we could shout in a nerd like fashion, Penny , Penny , Penny
Vera- so we could sing Vera, vera what has become of you?
Ruby, for Ruby Murray, curry
Minnie - the poocher
We thought these were all hilarious and laughed at how funny we were.
The kids didn't agree and after a complex name choosing effort we settled on the name the breeders had given her, Ziva.
PS I like flower the best suggestion, but not so much suited to a boy dog. Can he not be a trannie?

Re: Funny names for pets in Canada
Thanks for the input everyone 
I've made some suggestions to the "naming committee" and it appears I have a battle on my hands. From the original short list, they like "Taz" and have been listing off all the reasons for this choice.
I did get a good reaction from "Teabag" and "Frak". So I thought I'd made a break-through but they're still standing firm
I want to also suggest "Gunt" (as in: "You can go rest your gunt on the table over there, Mrs Miggins"). But I'm too scared.
"Clunge" is cute (glad I looked that one up before I said it out aloud).
"Rod" does have a euphemisitc quality to it.
Not sure if the dog will be a tranny - he's probably going to have his nuts removed at six months. I suppose if he grows breasts he could be called "Moobs".
Pikey & Gypo... if anything else that belongs in the garden gets moved in here, that's what I'm calling them
Did someone say "Dick Cheese"?
Thanks for all the others, and there's still time for more
