Cool names for pets. Nicknames of animals from books and cartoons. Famous dog names

Nicknames for cats and cats are very different, it all depends solely on the fantasies of the owner (hostess) of the fluffy lump. It happens that a cat-boy or kitty gets into the house when they already have some name. In this case, such a problem as choosing a name for a cat (cat) disappears by itself. But more often it happens the other way around: a small kitten bought at a pet store, taken from friends or picked up on the street gets into the house.

The baby is about one to three months old, and it's time to give this nice boy (girl) a suitable nickname. How to choose a name for a pet? The English poet Thomas Eliot devoted a whole poem to this serious issue, which says that “choosing a name for a cat is not an easy task.” The task is really difficult. But you can easily come up with a good nickname if you follow a certain rule.

Nicknames for cats, boys and cats: how to choose

Before choosing a name for a cat (kitty) need to get to know the new family member better. And soon everything will be clear. Nicknames for fluffy ones can be anything, the most important thing is that a sonorous name is suitable for a pet. Attention: in Orthodoxy it is believed that the name for a cat should not be human, because it is impossible to call animals the names of saints. Therefore, it is better for believing owners to refrain from the popular nicknames "Vaska", "Mashka", "Timoshka" or "Petrusha".

Mexican series fans often choose nicknames for cats (cats), consonant with the names of their favorite characters. But this is not the best option, since the fashion for certain series quickly passes, and they forget about their favorite characters, and the animal will have to live with this nickname all his life. For example, now few people will remember such popular movie characters as Marianna or Luis Alberto, but cat-boys (and kitties) with such names still run through the streets.

Lovers of computers and modern technologies often show extraordinary ingenuity when choosing a name for a cat. Fluffy "Hackers", "Drivers", "Gadgets" run through the streets. By the way, in the light of the latest fashion trends, a nimble and nimble fidget cat can be called "Spinner", in honor of the popular toy.

But these are all special cases. Most cat owners still stick to more traditional options. Before naming a cat or kitty, you need to make a good description of the animal according to the following plan:

You can name a cat or kitty, guided by one of these parameters. There are several aspects to consider. For example, if a black pet is cunning in nature and loves to beg, the most appropriate nickname is “Gypsy”. Suitable nicknames for cats with characteristic behavior are “Purr”, “Sonya”. Nicknames for cats that differ in certain taste preferences - "Fisherman", "Sweetheart", for cats - "Sweetie", "Sausage".

How to name a boy cat

You can name a cat-boy in different ways. Nicknames for cats should be sonorous, but at the same time, they must be suitable for a particular animal. Although there may be exceptions. For example, if the owner has a sense of humor, he can call his pet Maine Coon "Baby" or "Gnome". And a small, white or fluffy cat can be jokingly called "Bagheera" or "Tiger". Such funny nicknames are sure to attract attention. In order to correctly name a cat-boy, you can adopt the following interesting options:

Coming up with a cat name, it is necessary to take into account approximately the same recommendations as when choosing a nickname for a cat. It all depends on how the fluffy pet will manifest itself in the very first days of her stay at home: on the character, manner of communication, and behavior of the pet. Here are some interesting options:

Non-standard solutions

Both cats and cats are equally suitable names of favorite heroes of fairy tales and cartoons. So, for example, lovers of Tolkien can call a kitten "Frodo", fans of Eduard Uspensky can call a cat "Cheburashka". By the way, the name "Cheburashka" is also suitable for a cat. This is a great option if the animal has prominent ears, or if the animal likes to fall (“cheburah”).

Great Options"Fixik", "Luntik" (and a solid cat with a bad temper can be called "Shnyuk", in honor of the spider from the cartoon about Luntik), "Caramelka" (from the cartoon "Three Cats"), and, of course, Tom (or Jerry) . The brave cat who loves to fight mice, rats and insects can be called Ricky, after the brave mongoose Riki-Tikki-Tavi from Rudyard Kipling's fairy tale. A miniature cat can be called "Thumbelina" or "Cinderella".

It is not enough to choose the right nickname for a pet, it is also important to make sure that the cat accepts this nickname as his name. In order for the animal to get used to its name, you need to call the cat by name as often as possible while communicating with him. The name should be repeated several times, while it is advisable to gently stroke the animal and say something pleasant to it. Even if the cat does not understand the meaning of affectionate words, she will perfectly catch the intonation and begin to perceive her name positively. For example, you can stroke an animal and say: “Musya is good, Musya wants to eat. Musya will have sausage. Come here, Musya. Eat, Musya.

Attention: while the animal is just starting to get used to its name, the name should be used in only one version (full or abbreviated). For example, if the owner decided to call Cleopatra Klepa, during the period of getting used to the name, you need to call the animal only this way and not otherwise, for example: “Klepa is good.” When the owner calls the animal from a walk or invites to eat, it is advisable to refrain from the universal address "kit-kit-kit" and call the animal only by name, for example: "Push, eat" or "Snowball, home."

Calling the animal by name, you need to talk affectionately. If you need to scold your pet for something, it is not necessary to call by name, you can simply say: “Ai-yay-yay, how bad it is.” It is necessary that the name of the cat or kitty be associated exclusively with positive emotions, then the little kitten will quickly get used to his nickname and will proudly wear it all his life.

In order to choose the right nickname for a cat or a cat, you need to not only carefully observe the animal, but also love pet. This is perhaps the most important thing.

When choosing a nickname for your pet, a person is guided by many factors. The primary role is played by the norms and rules of the language, then - the cultural background (literature, cinema, politics, knowledge of foreign languages, etc.), traditions (both general cultural and traditions of the microsociety, for example, families), personal experience of giving a name (for example, knowledge of the names of animals belonging to friends and acquaintances). Personal creativity and human fantasy also play a role: someone is able to come up with a new beautiful sound combination that can serve as a great name for his pet, and someone without any hesitation will choose the first name that comes to hand. Very important are the associations of the appearance of the animal with the semantics of the common lexicon of the native language or languages ​​that the namer knows to one degree or another, and even associations with the phonetic appearance of the word chosen for the name. The same factors influence the perception of any name, of course, to a slightly different extent. Here, official rules, for example, can only affect some people who are well acquainted with these rules. The traditions of a particular family also affect to a lesser extent, but knowing the names of animals of acquaintances affects more. The influence of the phonetic appearance of the word (more precisely, the sounds that make up the nickname) is also more pronounced.

Animal names give insight into the life of society. What are the causes of nicknames? What influences the choice of nicknames? There are a number of following reasons:

  • 1) Many owners prefer to use traditional, often outdated proper names (Kesha, Masha, Milka, Tuzik, Bobik, Murka, Vaska, Barsik, Zhuchka, Druzhok, Polkan, Dick, Naida, Grisha, Abrek, Marquis, Kid, Demon, Kazbek, Tikhon, Nick, Mike, Tim, Alma, Betty, Bonya, Asya, Jay).

  • 6) Nickname by time of birth (March, April, Mike, August)
  • 7) The size of the animal; often in this case, the nickname has a “portable” meaning: Ball (like a ball), Pyshechka, Fluff (fluffy), Baby (small), Lace.
  • 8) Religious holidays, musical preferences, significant events also influence the choice of nickname. For example, a cat born at the turn of the millennium was named the Millennium, a calf born on December 31 was named New Year, March 8 - March.
  • 9) The breed and purity of the blood of the animal. So, breeders give their thoroughbred pets long, status names: Timaracoon Hellen Wheels, Flip Flops Demie Lune.

When naming pets, for example, the Chinese are also guided by the above rules, but from the point of view of their culture and linguistic picture of the world, of course. Below are presented and grouped modern animal names, selected from those presented in Chinese forums that are dedicated to pets. For example:

  • 1) Some nicknames reflect the traditional cultural values ​​of the Chinese, such as love, respect, wealth and prosperity, respect for old age or antiquity,: °® - love, u - precious, Y‹K - jasper, semiprecious stone, u - Treasure, ‰? - prosperous Chr- dear, Yo - Relic.
  • 2) Nicknames reflecting the connection of the Chinese with traditional objects and phenomena of the world around them: ¶¬G - winter plum, Cs- bamboo, Zp- autumn, С©- snow, Ah- orchid, Ај·Т- orchid scent ГЧЦй- bright pearls, Uk - rain, FV- moon, FWHM- jade brightness, FJ- cloud, high D - Sticky rice, “_“_ - Droplet, ђЇђЇ - Asterisk.
  • 3) Some Chinese, when choosing a nickname for an animal, also follow the Western tradition, guided by the distinctive external features of the animal: GAAC- beautiful, Џ¬”' - Handsome, “¤“¤ - Polka dots, Џ¬gfЋq - Fat man, PLЏL - Stinky, –A–A - Bubble, ьKЋq - Mole, –С–С - Woolen, ‰В?'Ѕ - Cutie, Џ¬ЊХ - Tiger cub, '`‰© - Yolk, ?? - Flaming, Џ¬Џ¬ - Baby, ?? - Donut, ‰Ф‹ ... - Bouquet, Y” - Wu Mei (Tricky).
  • 4) Similar to the Western tradition, the Chinese nicknames of animals reflect the characteristics of the character of the animal: ?? - Noisy, ‰Ођы - Rocket, €А€А - Calm, ЌNЌN - Peaceful, ЉЉ? - Cunning, Ќ“Ќ“ - Cool, ?? - Graceful, €L€L - Gentle, 'љ'љ - Dindin, No.KNoK - Hoot.
  • 5) Some nicknames are the result of cultural influence, impressions from watching films or reading books, predominantly Western or, as is more common, American origin: ?є? - Andy Lau, ЌЋ-С? - Clinton, ђb™X - Cher, ™you-? - Harry, "g" B - Potter, ЊtsЋe - Princess, DЉp - Mickey, D? - Minnie, ?? - Baby, huh? - Elf, “‚?V? - Donald Duck, ‰B? - Cola, ?? - Gaga, "z" B - Pitt, ‹њ-? - Henry, ќfќf - Lara, ?ish - Hamburg,”ћыh - Maggie, ”ћЉ - McDull

  • 7) Some nicknames are given due to popularity or simple sympathy for one or another nickname: ЋO?Y - Saburo, ”g? - Boca, Ќ¶? - Zuo Yun, ‰E w - Yu Bao, ?‘ґ - Khaki, “w” d - Nubi, ™Sch™Sch - Tao dao, ?? - Gulu, ?H ?H - Lulu, aTaT - Momo.

In contrast to the Western tradition, there are no names among Chinese names for pets that reflect the time of the animal's birth or religious holidays; also, it is not customary for the Chinese to give animals human names, since in the course of historical and cultural development, the Chinese have developed a consumer attitude towards animals. From the point of view of the Chinese, the animal is perceived as an inanimate object, therefore, does not need a name. Only recently, due to the active influence of the West, the Chinese began to have animals as pets, and, accordingly, give them nicknames.
