#The Rooster is named after Rudolf Valentino (and also after Steve Rogers - he was Rudy when we adopted him and then we changed it)

Every pet I’ve ever had was named after a fictional character, with the exception of the dog my parents had when I was a baby, who was named after a Civil War general (so, technically a celebrity I guess, or at least he was back in the 1800s).

My mother tried to disguise the fact that later dogs were named after cartoon characters by spelling their names all fancy, but no one was fooled. “Wyleigh” looked just like Wile E. Coyote and she was named after him, q.e.d.

My cats all have fandom-related names, and my sister’s german shepherd is named Carlos Danger.

Put in the tags please if you answered yes lets have fun with this

For example my childhood dog was named Cher after the singer and yes she had a brother named Sunny
