Unique celebrity dog names are even more ubiquitous than unique celebrity baby names. The rules for baby names may have loosened, but anything goes when it comes to dog names. Number names, food names, the literal names of other celebrities — sure, celebrity dog names do all that, and much more, Nameberry has found.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have a miniature poodle named Butters. At the same time, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are pet parents to an Alaskan Klee Kai called Porky Basquiat, and Cardi B and Offset's pitbull puppy is named Walk (yes, just Walk).

But Paris Hilton ranks first among unique celebrity dog namers, with pets called Slivington, Diamond Baby, Dollar, and Marilyn Monroe.

Paris isn't the only celebrity to name their dog after another celebrity. Tennis great Serena Williams named her pooch after fellow court star Rafael Nadal, Mario Lopez's dog is named after boxer Oscar de la Hoya, and Snoop Dog named his dog after ... himself.

Below are the wildest celebrity dog names and the stars who chose them.
