A PET whizz has shared some of the most bizarre names she's come across whilst working with our four-legged friends.
There's no denying that people tend to get creative when it comes to names – and sadly, pets have not escaped this trend either.
However, whilst you might not think much of it, things may get a little weird when you have to set up an insurance for your dog or cat.
And pet insurance company Figopet (@figopet) has certainly seen it all, with monikers ranging from McRib to Mr Ugly.
Some of their top picks were shared on TikTok – and it goes from bad to worse in seconds.
The now-viral video started off strong with quite the mouthful – a pet named Car Seat French Fry.

For names starting with B, there were a number, but the favourite was Bong – and those who like to relax every now and then will know what this is.
Another favourite for the pet insurance company was a four-legged pal by the name Dad – although Scissor Bill was not much further off.
It seems one family reckoned their pet had superpowers, as they named it Special Agent Dale Cooper FBI – but Dale for shortened.
There were also skincare enthusiasts who had opted for the moniker Lotion and shopping fans, picking Home Depot for their pet.

Speaking of pets, one family was recently mortified after realising the massive Tibetan mastiff they had been raising wasn't a dog after all.
The pet kept growing, eventually weighing over 250 pounds, and it even began walking on its hind legs.
A woman named Su Yun brought the animal to her home in Yunnan, a Chinese village, while on vacation in 2016.
The adorable puppy had a big appetite, going through a "box of fruits and two buckets of noodles" each day, The Independent reported.
Soon, Yun started to question if her dog was actually a Tibetan Mastiff, which can grow up to 71 inches tall and weigh up to 180 pounds.
"The more he grew, the more like a bear he looked," Yun told Chinese Media. "I am a little scared of bears."
Growing concerned, Yun called officials to inspect her dog, only to find out that her pet wasn't a member of the canine family at all.
It turns out Yun had been raising an endangered Asiatic black bear.
The animal is highly profitable on the black market – easily fetching thousands of dollars in illegal sales.
Asiatic black bears have been used in Asian traditional medicine and foods.
Ursodeoxycholic acid, a chemical found in the animal's bile, has been used to treat medical issues such as liver disease in Chinese traditional medicine.
Despite the bear being kept as a domestic pet with Yun's family, the animal was taken into care at the Yunnan Wildlife Rescue Center.
According to The Independent, staff members were so afraid of the animal that they opted to sedate it before transporting it.
Officials reported that the bear is living a healthy life in its new home.

And Yun's family isn't the first one to make this kind of mistake, according to reports.
Local media reported that a man, also from Yunnan province, raised a bear after finding it alone in the forest and believed that it was a stray dog.
