Loque = NoMayo
Croc = LargeFries
Wolf = NoPickles
Devilsaur = Poutasauruss (goes with Vitani's Grumpasaurus)
The silliest name any of my pets have is Peppermint the green Nether Ray. Well, she is green and white, and nothing pisses off my spellcaster guildies more than having their asses kicked in duels partly by a pet named Peppermint. My bf on his mage was quite annoyed

Shame you can't have a cow pet, could have called it "With Cheese"
Ok.. yah I remember I called my spider Yourmomma.. I think it was my spider. It was my pvp pet.. and it just entertained me to no end to see Yourmomma bites so and so for ###. Considering I dont like spiders it kinda made a good thing out of a creepy situation.
About the silliest I have ever done is naming my troll hunter bank alt Stevo Irwin (one word, of course), and his guild for my bank, The Crocodile Hunter. He has been name reported once, fortunately, I was able to rename him the same thing and nothing happened, Stevo is still Stevo. He has all the Crocolisk colours tamed, and named after real crocs from Australia Zoo (Mossman, Monty, Argo, and Crikey, who is not a real croc, I just HAD to have a Crocodile called Crikey), along with a couple wolves (Sheila and Myndee), and a few TallStriders (Ty and Eddie). I made him just as a joke of course, and never wanted to offend anyone, I just REALLY FREAKIN' MISS Steve Irwin, and wanted to commemorate him. I agree with the other posters on this thread that there is a difference between people who name their pets things like "Cracksniffa", and obviously have no respect for their class/pet, and people who are just being silly, like me. On a side note, I accidentally named my NElf druid "Cathair". Accidentally because the first four letters of my name are Cath, so I was reading it Cath Air, but on closer inspection realized it was actually Cat Hair. whoops >_>
When I started to play wow, like in the beginning of 06 I named my cat to "Iwillbiteyou"
now I feel a lot different and dont have that sort of names.
I have a few funny swedish names, but I think they are more cute
it takes me like DAYS to come up with something, and I usually end up changing my mind on it right after I confirm, so I have to go re-tame it all over again... luckily I'm low level so it's no big deal, since nothing I get is really rare yet, but yeah...
I was eventually able to come up with a cool name for my diseased young wolf (MaggotHide... I said cool, not creative) and now I'm working on something for my green wasp I picked up... I've got nothing. ._.
I try to avoid bad or unfitting names whenever possible, but it can be difficult when you're as creatively challenged as I am.
My Krush is named Minty and I have a rhino named Boot but that's about as silly as I get. Most of my pets have literary or mythological/historical names, but Minty is big, green and has a great smile, it works! Boot just... just feels right, you know?
An old guild-mate of mine had a red spikey raptor named BloodCrotch that always made me wince... He was kinda one of those guys. >.<

There are 2 crabs I usually see on my server one blue and is named ipinchballs and a red one named asspincher... I am waiting for that fathful day where they do that to the owners
A while ago, I accidentally made a typo on our guild board, ending up with a quote that was nothing but 'Don' (was supposed to be 'don't' but the quote parsed an unusual character). People told me that my next pet had to be named The Don. Sadly, we're not allowed to have a space in the name, and I hate TheDon. So my Devilsaur is just 'Don'. And then there's his helper, Guido (Gondria). I also have DruidSlave (a dire raven) and Soloflayer (my Soulflayer catch from Zul'Gurub). So... not terrible.
I used to have a Sporebat named ImWithStupid, back before Sporebats were useful (they had no special abilities; not even a second attack). I also had SuicideRun, my dragonhawk (I was level 20, I was a dwarf, I ran all the way to the belf territory because I wanted a dragonhawk... I died many times).
