    my dog is named Sophie (after Sophie Hatter in Howl's Moving Castle).

    I love that book so much! The movie is pretty good too.

    I love both the book and the movie, but I cannot pretend that they are in any way related. Two totally different stories, just with characters having the same names.

    It's Miyazaki's way. He gets inspiration from something and they start out fairly similar but he usually takes it in his own direction. I adore them both and appreciate them as being different works of creativity.

    I adore Howl's green slime fit in both versions.

    When I saw this thread at first I thought it mean pet names as in like, sweetheart nicknames. I was going to say my ex used to call me Yeta after a character in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. But I'm not a pet. My pet's names aren't anything particularly geeky: a cat named Clambster (as invented by my niece, a combo of Clam, Lamb, and Lobster) and a cat named Friend (because he's Clam's friend, and it just stuck).

    one that's semi-nerdy is my cat named Java, when she got fat and pregnant we called her Java the hut. She nearly doubled in size!

    Not geeky per se - but I do have a beta fish named Sid Fishous. He's pretty BA.

    This is RADAR ..... the name's not geeky, but I wanted to show her off ...... since a kitten, she's only had 1 eye ...... but that doesn't stop her from terrorizing the household :heart:

    When my wife and i bought our house, she wanted a cat so I ended up bringing home not 1 but 2 - 7 week old kittens. She named one George just because she liked the name and always wanted a George. I instantly named the other one Lucas... just because. LOL!

    I have dogs named Arwen (from LOTR) and Tessa (Highlander TV show), Cats Willow (Buffy) and Loghain (Dragon Age:Origins) (and three others with less geeky names) and fish Mr. Grey (from Stephen King's Dreamcatcher) and Rory Gilmore (also from Dragon Age)



    I should probably have a disclaimer that I have too many pets.
