Are the last two named after characters from "The Devil Came Through Here" trilogy?

Soup... Tomato Soup

Whatever,

Crunchwrap Supreme is a great name. It's much easier to say than my fishes name:

Three doritos locos tacos supremes with a large Baja blast.

My daughter named her fish Sushi.

Yeah my male cat was named Optimus Prime by the previous owner, and the female cat I got I named Nika, after the ancient Greek goddess Nike.

  • bungus

Yup and the most important names, the ones that he responds to, are psp-psp-psp and ti-ti-ti.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

My cat's name is Elliot because he's got a mustache like the Mr. Robot mask, but I call him Admiral Derpits, Mingus, Ferbles, or Murface the Furface on a Surface

I have a female cat named Toph. She’s a Tortie. Very fitting character and cat breed.

Regretting calling my cat Persephone because I always have to spell it out to the vet reception over the phone.

Wait, is this just a trap to get our bank account security questions?

Mothers' maiden names are so crazy and random too, don't you think?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Especially when that side is fresh from slavistan.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I tried, the wife said no. So I wear this name in my cats honor

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

My girl cat was named GirlCat.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

3 of our girl cats growing were named Shasta, Kahlua, and Sprite and one of the boys was named Orange Crush; all were named after drinks (and that time Dad sat on Crush).

Either way the cat thinks of him or herself as a divinity.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Hey! Boy cats also get names after video game characters. Just ask Mr Bubbles.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

Dog is named cat. Cat is named dog!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My girl cat’s shortened name is bean, and I often call her black bean burrito (the other one’s food name is banana, because it rhymes with Rayla)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not sure you understand how rhyming works

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 weeks ago

Good ones maybe, but I never said it was one of those :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

My cat Neth'Sin the Ethereal Tormentor laughs at your modern goddesses.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Enchirito does sound like a good name for a cat... 🤔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

I love you, Beefy Crunch ❤️

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

And here I am giving my pets human names like a weirdo: Brody (dog), Chad (dog), Sasha (cat) & Erin (cat)

I just named a cat that got dumped at my work Johnny. It's a girl cat. Oops.

How is this so accurate?

We never thought about it, but of our three cats, the girls are named after a goddess and an empress, while the boy cat is named after a Starbucks menu item.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It is as much of an honor to be named after Taco Bell items!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

My cat is named Figaro after the cat from the animated Pinocchio film that he looks just like. My dog is named Ampix after a character who gets made fun of for his stupid name in a novel that my wife and I read.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Our girl cat is named Maki because she's small. Girls get food names too.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever naming convention works for you Danny, so long as you heed your masters’ call.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Mmmmm, I do miss the Enchirito

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

My cats are named after a tattoo, an encoding system and a movie character.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

Heh, good guesses.

Maze (because I have a maze, actually a labyrinth, tattooed on my back and she's stripey).

Hex (short for hexadecimal, but the pagans I used to date preferred to think otherwise).

Ripley (you can probably extrapolate for this one).

edit: line breaks.

Ah, the Elon Musk children naming system.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I know a boy cat named Apollo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Some of us name our boy cats after Arby's menu items. That's how Double Roast Beef Sandwich got his name.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

My kitty Athena agrees. My kitty Nova does not (both girls). But the mentality is the same: respectable names that convey greatness. Because they fucking rock.
