Can we start a twitter thread with all the named pets of the past? Because the immediacy of humanity you get from knowing how someone named their favourite cat/dog/bird will never not charm me. https://twitter.com/barrytorch14/status/1293314562700320771">https://twitter.com/barrytorc...
See! Don’t you already feel that gravity guy is much more human? And that you want the stories of Diamond and Isaac’s adventures in the meadows around Cambridge...

I LOVE Hodge.
We should all put in more of an effort to ensure our pets get a statue.

I am entirely here for anyone providing their pets with excellently nerdy names. And some thoughtful collective names for a pair or a trio: even more bonus points.

Well done, Joost.

I& #39;ve long since promised myself that if I ever get to live with a white cat, I& #39;d name them Pangur Bán.

Such a gorgeously and deeply human poem. (AND: beautiful picture book https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😽" title="Küssendes Katzengesicht mit geschlossenen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Küssendes Katzengesicht mit geschlossenen Augen">)

ok, Bungey can do one better than have his name recorded for posterity: have is gorgeous good boy face recorded for posterity.

Tippoo does sound like the best of dogs. What a thoughtful soul.

Romeo & Juliet must have felt very safe in his presence.

If you need me tomorrow, I& #39;ll be lost reading this book.
Especially taken by the #earlymodern giant tomcats.

One of my professors from my BA in Leuven wrote a BOOK about #EarlyModern cats, and never once mentioned them in his lectures.

Admittedly, would have been funnier had the Austrian Habsburg called his dog & #39;Spain& #39;.

I& #39;ve long felt it& #39;s https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up"> to name your dog after someone who really gets on your nerves so you& #39;re allowed to shout their name loudly and angrily in public.

somehow, I never realised there was a name for this fierce feline. Probably because I was too mesmerised with the look-into-our-soul across the ages...

I hate that our world turns everything into a competition.
But if I were to turn this into a competition, this pet name would be very close to winning.

"Pope Joan, formerly known as Prester John" now holds a very special place in my heart.

Trying to pronounce this in a French accent.

But mainly slightly confused that Brount didn& #39;t have more of a starring role in A Place of Greater Safety. (especially since Marlinspike is so key (he is, ok, he is.). Is Mantel a cat person?) https://twitter.com/lrbobrien/status/1293971035767832576?s=20">https://twitter.com/lrbobrien...
I refuse to believe this isn& #39;t an acronym for some elaborate three-barrel name. Theodore-Oswald-Pierre, for instance.

The joy I get from the thought of her yelling & #39;TERRIBLE& #39; across the park to try to get her dog to come back. It would be so cathartic.

Are you even a a king if you don& #39;t have elaborate mottos based around your pets& #39; names?

TITLED PETS! YES! (partly because then members of a household can talk about & #39;The Reverend& #39; jumping on the fridge and turning over the fruit bowl and howling all night and be overheard by unsuspecting and bemused bystanders...)

George Washington& #39;s pet-naming skills are sorely overlooking in Hamilton the musical. "Madame Moose" would have made for an excellent tango.
