Nationwide shares the 10 wackiest dog and cat names of 2016

WASHINGTON, July 27 (UPI) -- Insurance company Nationwide compiled a list of the 10 "wackiest" dog and cat names from their database of insured pets.

After selecting the 10 finalists in their annual Wacky Pet Names competition, the company has turned to the Internet, asking people to vote for the dog or cat with the wackiest name.

"Many pet parents want their cats to have names as unique as their personalities, but choosing one can be difficult," the company wrote.

The top entries for 2016 include references to pop culture and celebrity names such as Kanye Westie, Butch Catsidy, Optimus Prime Rib and Agent Jack Meower to tongue twisters like Scrappin Scruffy Macdoogles of the Highland Mcdoogles.

Baron von Furrypants claimed the title of wackiest dog name in 2015, while Leonardo DiCatprio was determined to be the wackiest cat name.
