Naming your pet is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in life. Not only do you want the moniker to suit the animal's character, but it’s also a chance for you to show off your creativity. And some owners have so much imagination that we’re jealous.

Quoting my older sister who is a Vet:
Giant, very muscular white fur pitbull comes in with the spiked collar and looks aggressive. Upon entering, the dog ran up to my sister wanting belly rubs and was brought in for eating a rubber duck. Dog's name was Marshmallow because "he is a giant idiot with a heart of gold."

A friend has a dog named Covid. "My life is so much richer thanks to Covid." "I've had Covid for 10 years." "I got Covid last year, best decision I ever made."

I met a dog once called The Inspector. That is exactly what he looked like, too. Little Scottish Terrier. Could have used a monocle.

Cat named "Bikini". I thought it was weird at first until the owner lifted him up and showed me white markings on his underside that looked exactly like a bikini.

My friends family had a cat and then a stray started coming around and staying in the house. They called him, the other cat and eventually it just became Other Cat. He would even come to you outside if you called to him. He also only used the sidewalks, he would never cut across the grass to come to you.

I got 2 snapping turtles when I turned 5. One had the orange bands next to his eyes and the other had red.
Named them MichaelAngelo and Raphael. Not funny but I felt so cool naming them.

This is Tater Tot. I was originally going to name her something cool, like Nebula or Nyx or something mythology related. But the person I adopted her from named her Tater Tot, and I thought it was stupid because ‘my name ideas are so much cooler….”
But, I’m a people pleaser and I didn’t dare change her name. And it’s grown on me. We also call her miss Taternator, like the terminator.

His name was Mr. Nibbles lol which I later found out is because he likes to rip paper, cardboard, anything he can really.. & spit it out. He leaves little piles of mess everywhere. Thank god he doesn’t ingest it. Even his adoption paperwork has nibbles off the corner 😂
He sometimes goes by Mr Nibbles now.. but his official name is Former President WOODROW WILSON 🗣️
(& he loves my pregnant belly).

Belarus and we stuck with it because: (1) it’s the right thing to do; (2) it’s fun to say; and (3) more attention should be be paid to the last dictatorship in Europe that also had a recent successful coup. 🤣

“Spoon” fits his personality. You can’t stay mad when you yell “SPOON!! KNOCK IT OFF” across the house.
