We all know someone who has an adorable pet, but who set them up for failure with a really weird name.

But, some prefer their pet to stand out at the dog park among the Millies and Milos.

With inspiration coming from clothing brands, celebrities and McDonald's orders, these are 10 of the most unusual pet names that are common in Australia.

We all know the Swifties would do anything for their Queen, including honour her in dog form.

Taylor Swift has managed to creep her way into becoming one of the most unusual pet names across Australia.

But when you remember just how crazy the country went in February 2024 when she brought her Eras Tour to our shores, are we really surprised?

Another piece of pop culture with a diehard fanbase made the cut!

If you know someone who loves Game of Thrones, you'll definitely know about it, since they seem to make a large part of their personality.

And it seems some have even taken it as far as to name their pets after the show's hero, Jon Snow.

Are you starting to see a trend here?

Of course Harry Potter has crept his way onto the list, especially when you think of a dog dressed up on Halloween wearing a cute little pair of glasses.

Adorable.

Prince Harry

Prince Harry does feel like a bit more of a cat name; they just have a certain regal sense to them that the majority of dogs are missing.

But he always has been the black sheep of the royal family, so maybe it is more fitting for a goofy Lab.

One burger name cracking the list is fine, but two? We really are obsessed.

But a lil doggy who goes by Gus for short, then when he's in trouble he gets the full Angus Beef?

We can't lie, it is kind of adorable.
