This week’s topic is…
Ten Character Names I’d Use to Name a Dog, Cat, and/or other Pets
- My furbaby, Josephine, was named after one of my favorite characters, Jo March from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
OTHER NAMES I ADORE
2. Penelope/Poppet from The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
3. Kestrel from The Winner’s Curse trilogy
4. Wilhelmina (a.k.a. Mina) from Dracula by Bram Stoker
5. Gemma from A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
6. Stark in reference to the family in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series.
7. Cricket from Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
8. Ichabod from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving
9. Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
10. Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare

Love Atticus and Puck. Perfect pet names!
Both names just sing to me, LOL.
I love love love the name Josephine. In my Boy Meets World obsession days, I was determined that I was going to have a little girl, name her Josephine, and call her Feeney. LOL
Atticus would be a great pet name!
I never even though about calling her Feeny. I love it!
Love the names you picked out. All are unique!
Thank you!
Great list. I really like the idea of using the GoT family house names as pet names, some of them would work really well.

100% agree!
I named my family’s cat Puck, and I’ve seen this name quite a few times in lists, I didn’t even know this is such a well-loved name 😮
I think Cricket is also a very cool name for an animal, maybe a dog or a cat or a mouse!
Oh and I was watching Sleepy Hollow the tv-show and there he’s called Ichabod, is it a spelling error or is it spelled differently in the book?
Spelling error on my part *facepalm*
My mom used to dogsit a Cricket. She was so cute.
Love Wilhelmina! Sound very old school. Great Top Ten 😀 My Top Ten Tuesday!
Thank you!
Such a fab list 🙂 I love reading ideas for names!
Aww, Thanks!
Perfect, I have Widget on my list and you have Poppet. I adore both names so much for a pet. Great list!
Thanks! Yes, they are both awesome names.
I love Atticus as a pet name! Great idea!
Thank! I’ve always loved the name!
Atticus and Puck actually made my list this week too. I would totally name a pet parrot or parakeet Kestrel! 😀

Thanks for stopping by Leslie. I think Atticus is a great name for a dog 🙂
Cricket is a cute name for a pet. Especially something small and active.
That’s exactly what I picture for a Cricket, lol.
