Here's a list I made when I was recently trying to decide on a pet, and a name.
Possible pet names:
- Sprinkles
- Whiskers
- Steven
- Stephen
- Paprika (look into other spices)
- Dog (ironic hipster points - esp. if not a dog)
- Angela
- Sheldon (avoid if buying an armadillo - too hokey)
- Ribbons (save - poss. daughter's name?)
- Tyler
- George III (avoid - implies murder of two previous pets)
- Duck Henry
- Old Spice (call other companies - poss. ad revenue)
- Jesus
- Stefan
- George Foreman
- Melissa the Turtle (do not use if pet is not a turtle)
- Stevey
- Andréa
- Andre the Turtle
- "Helicopter" Moses
- Teegan
- Lisa Marie Claire
- Mutatey (if gotten free from cooling pond)
- Assface (esp. appropriate for a kitten)
- Steve
- Blowjob
- Patches
The ultimate winner? George Foreman the imaginary zebra.
Unfortunately, George Foreman was killed when he was hit by the Magic School Bus, so I've sworn off pets for now.
