I worked at a vet office, and there was a dog there named Lil Ho. Just like that, specifically “Lil” and “Ho”. I wish I was making this up.

do vets judge the nicknames given to pets? my cats name is athena but we at some point started calling her garbagesmell as a joke and now i'm pretty sure she hears that more than her actual name....

Anon. My cat’s name is Trash Bag.

- Ferox.

#I think every pet I've ever owned since I was like 12 years old got a Fandom-Inspired Name.#rhs pet adventures #''Fizzy'' was named after an Aaron Carter song I really liked in my childhood called ''Jump on the Fizzy''#and his personality reminded me of the lyrics.#Serena and Orion were named for mythological figures which... at the time was more of a fandom than a religious understanding for me #(Vladamir was named by a friend and I'm not sure if she was inspired by Vlad the Impaler or the name's aesthetic.)#''Cooter'' wasn't named by me. But I named my first (gray) chinchilla Gregory Forge Grayson-- Grayson after The Flying Graysons #in DC Comics because he was a freaking ACROBAT. Bouncing off the walls and doing flips from standing and jumping 3 feet in the air!#Then I got Dusty and Sisu who are very much Not fandom names now that I think about it. I didn't name Chuck....#but then I got the diamond doves and named them after the Great Diamond Authority #which AT THE TIME I GOT THEM was just a crackpot theory based on that SINGULAR LINE from Ronaldo and the insignia!#So my first ones were Blue and Pink named after the theorized Blue Diamond and Pink Diamond (which I DELIGHT in turning out to be canon!)#Blue was named for his color and Pink for his feet and they were named after Diamonds because they're DIAMOND DOVES. Get it?#Anyways then I got a very talkative finch and named him Danny after Danny Chase; a chatterbox Teen Titans character!#I got a finch with a throat injury who barely talked and named her Jericho after another Titan who was injured in the throat and mute.#When I got another diamond dove I named her White after another Diamond character theorized (well before WD showed up)#and I named her babies with Blue after minerals to keep with the SU theme so we got Silver and Ametrine.#Mary the Canary was just named that because when she was in isolation for three months I'd sing the ''Mary Mary quite contrary'' poem to her #except after she warmed up to me I started calling her ''Mary Mary; sweet canary'' and the name just stuck.#And then Soda was named because her colors reminded me of Fizzy and her full name is Soda Pop (because it's fizzy).#i've also nicknamed her ''Sodalite'' and ''Rose'' (among other names) to keep with the mineral/SU theme again.
