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

Such a gorgeously and deeply human poem. (AND: beautiful picture book 😽)

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.

We also absolutely should all write poems for our beloved pets.

If you need me tomorrow, I'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.

I demand my tuition fee back. https://twitter.com/RareBookLibAntw/status/1293645178671071234?s=20

Admittedly, would have been funnier had the Austrian Habsburg called his dog 'Spain'.

I've long felt it's 👍 to name your dog after someone who really gets on your nerves so you're allowed to shout their name loudly and angrily in public.

TRIXIE! 😻

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'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
I refuse to believe this isn't an acronym for some elaborate three-barrel name. Theodore-Oswald-Pierre, for instance.

The joy I get from the thought of her yelling 'TERRIBLE' 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't have elaborate mottos based around your pets' names?

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

Trust Josephine Baker to both have the best pets and the best names for those best pets.

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