Cuntasaur just seemed fitting.

It was the name the rescue groups gave them. I only rescue animals, and it is my tradition to keep the names they got.

I named my cat Vivian because Vivi was adorable in FF9, and I figured it would be a cute nickname. She sort of reminds me of a black mage with her dark fur and bright eyes.

I named my bunny Echo because when he wants something, he's loud as shit, and it echoes throughout the house.

-saur
combining form
suffix: -saur
forming names of reptiles, especially extinct ones.
"ichthyosaur"

Just because your hubris continues to disgust me.

>So anon, what made you give your pet that name?
Why don't you come on home with me and I will show you?
>>
>>2151594
Is this bait? Dinosaurs were given the -Saur suffix when people thought they were cold blooded and dragged their tails. Don't be this retarded. Furthermore the difference between Reptiles then and Reptiles now is similar to the difference between Republicans now and Republicans in 1950. The comparison being that what qualifies you to be labeled as such is different for the time period.
>>
>>2151629
he's right, you're wrong.

dinosaurs are still considered reptiles, though some paleontologists will cut them off where they evolved warm blood while others just include all dinosaurs and birds as reptiles.

not all dinosaurs were warm blooded. That's something they evolved part way in, unless you want to pretend they suddenly evolved warm blood the same day they sprouted a perforate acetabulum and synsacrum.

which would be a very silly thing to think.
>>
>>2151629
>Although the word dinosaur literally means "terrible lizard", the name is somewhat an etymological misnomer and misleading, being that even though dinosaurs represent a separate group of reptiles, they are not lizards, nor are they descended from the lizard group of reptiles. Instead, dinosaurs, like many extinct forms of reptile sub-groups, did not exhibit characteristics which were traditionally regarded as reptilian, such as a sprawling limb posture or ectothermy (colloquially referred to as "cold-bloodedness").

I can't tell you that, or my wife would kill me. Ain't that right, girl?

My grandma hates gypsies and in Ireland an ethnic slur for gypsies is to call them tinkers.
Some Tinkers were camping near by my grandmas house and she would go on and on about the Tinkers.
I was five at the time and thought Tinker would be a nice name for a cat.
Shes 17 now and lost a back leg, I think she lives up to the name.

>>2150224
Leona, because her coat around her neck was like a female lion

Eos and Helios after the Ludibrium towers in Maplestory. Lovely names for my pair of birds.

We also call him Carolus, Carolus Magnus, Karl Grosse, and Fat Carl from time to time.

It was raining and this kitten was all alone in my grandmothers backyard, which was super rural. I was like 7 at the time so I didn't know better, i picked her up and rocked her back and forth singing "Sunshine, you are my sunshine" a lot.

So when we took her home, it was decided. That cat was named Sunshine.

I named him Tora because I miss that tiger/rabbit.

>Noob
Mom's boyfriend at the time thought of the name (he played WoW all the time). I was fortunate enough to know what it meant since I played Runescape for some time. Thought it was hilarious. Noob doesn't mind the name. But if he wasn't such a Noob I would probably call him some Latin phrase or term for black, dark, or mysterious if it fit well. He's more of a 'Bagheera' to be quite honest.

Bean, because the pads of his fuzzy toes looked like coffee beans.

'Bones Jones' because she liked to climb under my bed and came out covered in dust. Dusty old bones full of green dust.

'Gizmo' because he was a scruffy, bald little gremlin.
'Eggs Benedict' and 'Vasiliy' because I just didn't give a shit.
'Smoked Salmon' because I intend to breed her to Eggy Ben to restart my old silky line.

Salmon and Ben's pups will likely follow a 'breakfast foods' theme.

I heard once that when they were deciding what "hamsters" should be called, one of the top contenders was the german word for dog food. I thought that was funny, so I always name my hamsters after food, like Pancake and Apricot.
>>
Well, Serkan is the lich master in a game I use to play and there is this meme "Serkan is my girl" so I decided to name my cats Serkan since they are my girls.
