How do you name your pets?

Took a while to settle on our cat’s name.

First of all I tried Linux commands (sudo was the one that stuck for a while, given how the cat dominated the dog.)

That fell out of favour though, and then we had kids and needed a proper name for her.

And then they printed a Magic Card called Generous Stray:

…scryfall.io/…/3289db66-231f-4370-aca6-644d75bee2…

Reminded me so much of my cat, it had to be done. Therefore:

Genny.

Kids can say it - yes. Sounds normal - yes. Cat doesn’t respond to it - of course. Really weird story - well, I think so.

My wife just called the dog Bella by the way, perhaps she should name the next cat.

I knew someone who called them all Dave. Kept things simple, I suppose.
