Funny gay dog names


This month’s “Queer With Your Pets” gallery, which solicited reader photos of human beings with their animal friends, netted a whopping 230 submissions, and it’s a glorious gallery and a nice thing to have in our lives right now!

I noticed something very interesting while reading through the entire gallery despite my very universal and consistent opposition to the existence of cats — y’all are super gay and also huge nerds. Like if you were in my home and I woke up and walked downstairs and saw you sitting at the table I would say to you, “Hello, you’re gay and also a big nerd.” If your pet has a gay nerdy name and it’s not on this list I’m sorry I had to stop before the list became 230 items long, I cherish you to pieces and I love your pet and your pet’s label, unless it’s a meower, in which case I love looking at pictures of your cat but would rather not spot it in person because of allergies. Thank you so much!

Gay Dude’s Dog Names A – Z

Straight people have fairly straightforward names for their dogs. Spike, Champ, Oscar. Other times we verb cute and name them Mr. Pibb or Shit-Stain. But last week I learned something outside a dog park in West Hollywood. I learned that gay dude’s have a completely different protocol for naming their dogs than straight people do. One trick seems to be to have a verb that sounded masculine (yet fancy) a few generations ago. A name that might have belonged to some old fashioned dancer who was in the closet in 1932, perhaps. I’m not sure what the protocol is, but I wanted  to verb if I could master the gay dude’s naming technique and so I’ve compiled this A-Z list for you to enjoy!

In order to settle if the names sound authentic, please try to imagine a gay companion losing his patience while calling out in an effeminate yet commanding voice, each of these names, as he tries to control his dog at the dog park.

“Addison!”

“Barkley!”

“Conner!”, “Casper!”
