17 Seattle Pets With Really Strange Names

SEATTLE, WA - If you own a dog or cat in Seattle, you're required to get a pet license. But there are no requirements or restrictions on what name you pick - unfortunately, in some cases.

Combing through the city of Seattle's pet license database, we pulled 17 names that are funny, interesting, and in some cases potentially abusive. Good thing pets don't have to attend middle school.

Without further adieu, check out these Seattle dog and cat names (for the purposes of this list, we're assuming all these pets are still alive):

Henry Rollins - A Lakeland terrier who lives in West Seattle and has probably listened to plenty of Black Flag (there's also a Maltese in Seattle named Henry Rollins).

Fiesty Vanilla Star - A domestic short-hair cat who lives downtown, not in outer space.

Monkey Face - A Siamese cat who lives in South Seattle, just a few miles from the closest monkey at Woodland Park Zoo.

Lucy-Fur - An evil name for a (probably) very sweet Great Dane who lives in the Northgate area.

Golda Mier - Israel's fourth prime minister now lives as a Labrador retriever in the Seward Park area.

Ollie Ocksenfree - A golden retriever-dachshund mix (!?) hates playing hide-and-seek and wants you to just come out and throw the ball already.

Dick Cheney - Hopefully this cat doesn't like duck hunting.

Obama - There are two cats living in Queen Anne named Obama (so far none named after Trump).

Xena, Warrior Princess - Not just "Xena," this cat living in the Lake City area has been honored with the full title - comma and all.

Gus T.T. Showbiz - This Jack Russell terrier mix lives in Lake City and is headlining the Magnuson Park off-leash area this weekend.

Louis CK - Uhh, this cat living in Queen Anne might have a new name by now.

Ghost Penguin - This is a husky mix, but whatever works.

Roddy John Elway Jesus Santino Manbahr - OK, good luck calling for him at the dog park.

Courtney Love - There are two Courtney Loves in Seattle (one cat, one Chihuahua), but no pets named Kurt Cobain.

Steely Dan - A cat named after a band that took its name from, um, well, Google it.

Dog - Lazy or genius? There are four dogs named Dog living in Seattle right now.

Hitler - Yeah, someone did this to a poor pit bull living in South Park; he was licensed in 2008, so based on average dog lifespans, it's possible this Hitler is also deceased.
