Go back far enough and human history becomes more and more about guesswork. However, one thing that is abundantly clear is that our domestication of animals goes back farther than any written history. Our kinship with animals is undeniable: most people consider their pets part of the family. One great thing about animals is that they don't care what their name is, so it is an excellent opportunity to have a little fun.
Some people name their furry companions after famous musicians, others name them based on their physical characteristics, and then there are the geeks: that's where we come in! We have compiled some of our favorite suggestions for pet names. Even if these don't strike your fancy, hopefully, they can at least act as a source of inspiration.
10 𒁏 Kat, Dogi, Sonic 🍎
Okay, obviously a Ys fan could name their pet pooch Dogi, or a Gravity Rush fan could name their feline companion Kat. Those are cute. But they are a little obvious, no? Similarly, if you have a pet hedgehog, chances are you have named him Sonic. It is almost a guarantee that this is the mᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ🌼ᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚost popular name for a pet hedgehog.
We aren't judging if you went with any of these names, we think they are fun, but we are going to lump them together in this entry. That being said, there is room for some fun, confusing subversion with these more basic names. Like, if you name your small dog Big The Cat then we are absolutely on board and think you are a swell person.
9 🔥 Solid, Liquid, Or Solidus
Okay, we know that this one is super basic... but if you have a snake how do you not name your snake one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metal Gear Solid monikers? Should these have been included with the likes of Sonic or Dogi? Maybe. But these are just too good to not use. Sure, there are 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a ton of great snakes in games, but none are as iconic as this bunch.
It gets e🃏ven better if you can get multiple snakes. Though, you do run the risk of then falling down the rabbit hole and naming your cat Revolver Ocelot, and your dog Grey Fox...
8 Hanpan
Look, there just aren't that many notable hamsters in media (unless you go for Hamtaro, but that feels like one of those names that has probably been used far too often). Hanpan is one of those names that will be immediately recognized by those who have played Wild Arms, but go over the head of any normies who haven't played the classic RPG.
On a side note, Hanpan is fun to say. It can also be easily iterated u﷽pon for a million different nickname iterations. You can also shorten it to the simplified Han, though some people start thinking it is a Star Wars reference if you do so.
7 Midna
Not only is this a great Zelda reference, but it i🐬s also just a cute name. Especially for a cat. We would personally save this one for a feline with black fur, as the name Midna obviously evokes the word "ඣ;midnight".
This works as a great covert name, as it sounds excellent removed from any context. It works even better if you have a dog to be bossed around by your cat (f♚or obvious reasons).
6 Bowser
Bowser is such a slam-dunk name. Not only is it absolutely going to work for nearly every reptilian pet, but the fact that it has "bow" in the name is reminisce☂nt of the classic "bow-wow" sou🍬nd people associate with dogs, so it is a versatile name!
You can have fun with it and make sure the animal you are giving this name is on the smaller side. Also, keep in mind that Bowser is technically a turtle, so this is another great choice for your shell-covered companion (that is a little less obvious than 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Leo, Mikey, Donny, or Raph).
5 Dr. Wily
Mega Man's primary villain, Dr. Wily, is another great inspiration for a pet name. Of course, if you name your precious pet this, you are probably going to default to just Wily, which is a fun name on its own. However, giving them Dr. moniker only adds to the cuteness factor. Every time you chastise them for sniffing crotches you can bring up how they are wasting their doctorate degree.
Of course, the more mischievous the animal, the better this one will fit. On the basis of that al🔯one, this seems like a great name for a cat (or may♓be a ferret).
4 Zelda
One of the best parts about this name is that your pet can be an ambassador of geekiness, while you also rep the best of the Fitzgeralds. Is it a reference to a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:notable video game princess? Is it a sophisticate⛄d reference to a notable literary figure? Why n༒ot both?
Finally, you too can have a pet with a name capable of appealing to a variety of crowds. Also, hey, Zelda is a pretty classy name, so it is fun on that level as well. Oh, and most importantly, it gives you an excuse to say 168澳洲幸运5🉐开奖网:"Excuse me, Princess" sarcasꩲtically every time your companion is in a bad mood.
3 Amaterasu
Amaterasu is a winner for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is unique. Secondly, Okami isn't a popular enough game that everyone will instantly know you are a giant dork, but the people who are in the know will absolutely get it (and appreciate it). Amaterasu is also legitimately a Japanese deity, which is pretty fun.
Best of all, you could use something like Amy as an innocuous short form. It also opens up cute nicknames like Amy-Tiramasu. If you are staring at that last sentence with a raised eyebrow then clearly you haven't fallen down the rabbit hole of pet names for your pet. Once you do, there is no coming back.
2 Bub And Bob 𓄧 𒁏
So, alone neither name is really anything to write home about, but saying them together immediately makes them considerably more charming. The duo from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the legendary Bubble Bobble series are perfect grounds for influencing a nam﷽e choice as they are super discreet while also being a pretty clear reference🍒 for those in the know.
Moreover, single-syllable na🐓mes are just fun to say. They just roll off the tongue. If you are acquiring a pair of pet companions you could certainly do worse than Bub and Bob.
1 Ebrietas Dau🌃ghter Of The Cosmos (Ebri For Short)
We have to emphasize that when you are naming your b༺eloved pet it is an opportunဣity to have fun with it. An overly long name is the kind of silly fun that you should be having when coming up with a name. However, the ability to shorten Ebrietas, Daughter Of The Cosmos down to the simple Ebri makes it a name that is also practical.
Ebri is also, undeniably, a very cute name. This makes it doubly amusing, as you are referencing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the most horrifying entities from a grim FromSoftware game like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bloodborne.
