[-] franklin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

My boy cat is called Rails because Ruby on Rails, my girl cat is called Sushi just because .

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months 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

[-] wittyshizard@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

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.

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

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

My girl cat was named GirlCat.

[-] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 months ago

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)

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I'm not sure you understand how rhyming works

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago
[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 17 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Dog is named cat. Cat is named dog!

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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

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

[-] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 7 points 2 months ago

I love you, Beefy Crunch ❤️

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] cheet@infosec.pub 12 points 2 months ago
[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months 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.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Mmmmm, I do miss the Enchirito

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I know a boy cat named Apollo

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] fushuan@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] don@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months 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.

[-] MantisTobogganMD@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

my girl cat is named after a song about cigarettes
