Naming It

Naming a pet is a big decision and hard, because it’s such a commitment.  If you’re going to be calling to the pet a thousand times a day, you want the name to be something that rolls off the tongue and is cool, or maybe one that other people will think is cool when they hear it and therefore think you are cool.  Except for when the pet is a gerbil or a fish or a hermit clam or something.  Then you can name him something lame because you’ll probably only call to him to say things like, “Oh, shit, Boinky, we forgot to leave food for you last month when we went on vacation!”
