We heard on the radio today about a somebody who’s named their dogs after rock stars. We’ve been at it too. We had Lzzy and Slash in aquarium and now we have dogs called Myles (Kennedy) and Ronnie (James Dio). How do you name your pets?
I knew someone who called them all Dave. Kept things simple, I suppose.
Those criteria are less useful for all his fish. Questionable whether it’s work on a rabbit too.
My dog is called snoop and my cat is called Stevens.
Took a while to settle on our cat’s name.
First of all I tried Linux commands (sudo was the one that stuck for a while, given how the cat dominated the dog.)
That fell out of favour though, and then we had kids and needed a proper name for her.
And then they printed a Magic Card called Generous Stray:

Reminded me so much of my cat, it had to be done. Therefore:
Genny.
Kids can say it - yes. Sounds normal - yes. Cat doesn’t respond to it - of course. Really weird story - well, I think so.
My wife just called the dog Bella by the way, perhaps she should name the next cat.
Old lady names, our cat is called Ethel 😹
Many years ago we had two dogs (one male, one female) called Mulder and Scully.
