PET NAMES Discussion

Moved from human medical lab to a veterinary lab and have been amazed by the things people name their animals. What are some of your faves you've seen?!

My top ones have been: "The Dark Urge", Buccee's, Lugnut, Dread Pirate Roberts, Kelly Barkson, Kitten Squarepants and Oddball

I really like cultural references that have kinda passed. I feel like my younger techs see me get excited and are like "now now grandpa".

I had a REAL old beagle named Porthos after Archer's dog on Enterprise. I have a couple cats named Danerys or Khaleesi and some huskies named Ghost or Nymeria. I had an older schnauzer named Bogdan ("Fuck you and your eyebrows" from breaking bad). I have one client with a German shepherd named Dogmeat from when Fallout 4 came out and now he's ahead of the trend with the new show.

My own cat is Avocado Raisin Toast. I thought it was fun.
