NORMAL: Joe, Max, Shirly, June, Charlie, Odin, Thor, etc.

WHIMSICAL NONSENSE: Bluey, Pickles, Sparkle, Carmel, Charcoal, Honigkuchenpferd, basically any give stripper's name, etc.

...and what political affiliations do you suppose the ones giving their pets these stupid names identify with?

Guess the name of this kot

I think the people that judge others for having harmless fun are a lot worse.

Have you no sympathy for the torture these poor creatures go through being given demoralizing names?

>>5025919
Nah, but I have sympathy for human children that get weird names.

Who cares if you name your furbaby Minerva or something?

>>5025919
bro the animals don't understand english. you can say whatever you want to a cat or dog and as long as you say it nicely they'll be happy. I call my cat a fat dumbass constantly but he never seems to get mad about it

>>5026034
Dogs actually do understand a lot of words.

>>5026035
Of course they understand some words, ESPECIALLY their freaking own names. All of our beloved pets deserve to have dignified names!

Pseuds have hated this self apparent fact for the longest time and didn't start accepting what was self apparent until "the science" said to lmao

Who the fuck cares? Why do you consider that relevant? Why does your mind go there first?

There's nothing weird about naming a pet after their coloration.
Besides it doesn't really matter since every single pet owner will just refer to their pet by an increasingly convoluted string of nicknames.
And the only time I call my cat by his actual name is when I'm making a vet appointment.
