There’s little we enjoy more than curling up with our favorite furry friends while reading a great book, watching a fantastic movie or catching up on the season’s must-watch TV shows. So it’s little surprise that literature, television and film inspire some clever and unique pet names!
As we’ve done in the past with pop culture references, historical figures and more, we dug through the Vetstreet database, which includes more than 10.4 million dog names and 4.6 million cat names belonging to pets born between January 2013 and May 2016. Then we grabbed 186,258 dog and cat names that only appeared once in the database. Once we’d narrowed it down to the unique names, we picked out our favorites and divided them into categories, which leads us to the list of 10 names in the slideshow below, all of which are based on favorite titles and characters.
One note: The photos in the slideshow below are not of the actual pets with these names, although we did try to choose pictures of the same breed as the pet from our database, when applicable.
