I don't have a pet right now, for practical reasons. But I love animals, and names.

I'll never have a Doberman, but if I did, it would be named Vashta Nerada.

I'd love to have an Irish Setter, who would be named Arthur Pendragon, if I had enough space.

More likely, if I have a cat in the future, she will be named after a female mathematician, like Sofia Kovalevskaya or Amalie Emmy Noether.

I also think dead US Presidents make great names for pets, like Rutherford B. Hayes and Grover Cleveland.

And of course, there are a slew of racehorses, from the misspelled American Pharoah—whom I refuse to prounce other than Fair-oh-uh—to Potoooooooo.

So Hubski, do you have a pet with a great name? Or a great name in need of a pet?
