Do you have any pet that has a name inspired by your readings?
If not, what would you pick if you DID?
Do any of your friends have book-based names for their pets? (Or their children?)
When Dad was first looking to adopt the current kitty, the shelter had tagged him “Sigmund.” I liked the proper sound to the name, and thought we should add to it: Sigmund Dewey.
Dewey of course inspired by Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World.
But Sigmund or Sig never stuck…the cat responded more to a Z sound, “Zig” so quickly wound up Zig or Ziggy (or Ziggster or Zigmeister or any of a number of in-the-moment names).
I’ve also had it in my head for a number of years that I’ll eventually adopt a pair of cats, naming them Kal and Kara, after Superman and Supergirl from DC Comics.
Not sure that I’m aware of family/friends with pets or children having book-based names.

Cat’s don’t always responds the way you want them to. Well, they’re cats.
Our cat has a bookish name, not that he responds to it or any other verbal command. The only thing he really responds too is the sound of food 🙂
OMG. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your cat. He is just adorable and has a great name!

Funny coincidence. I named my dog after Supergirl, too.
Kal and Kara would be cool names 🙂
