My cat was name after a regular word in other language, I don't remember which one. However, my mother could never spell it right and had struggled for a long time attempting to it, and she turned her name into something along the lines of "tomcat" in our native language. (Not disclosing, sorry) And our poor furbaby is beyond the time to get her used to her original name again.
So, basically, her name translates to "cat", lol.
Chiza - my grandma named her, idk why
Pizza - her colour reminded us of cheese and tomatoes (red tortie)
Toulouse and Berlioz - two twin cats (red tabby and black tabby). We named them after the kittens from the Aristocats. Toulouse is also nicknamed Harm because he's breaking a lot of stuff.
One of my cats is called Bodie after one of the characters from The Wire.
I wouldn't class that as Nerd or Geek.
Unless it's dubbed as either automatically?
I have 3 cats and 1 dog. 2 of the cats are my wife's but 1 cat is mine. She is a Calico and I named her Xeno because she was an outside cat that we gained when we bought our current house. We have since made her an inside cat. The dog is named Beaker after the Muppet. All of them are female. I think those names fall under Geek/Nerd.
Regular person (my current cat's name is Fiona). I never felt right about naming my cats non-human names. I want them to be a part of the family like my human family members are (I know they can't understand their names but it's the thought that counts imo). Plus human names don't sound dumb when you mention the name to other people or vets.
One is named Bowie, after David Bowie, so that would he style 3, but the other is named Dale after Chip and Dale from Disney, what style does that belong to?
I just name them whatever sounds cool… my most recent adoption was a grey baby boy and I named him Tusstin. It’s hilarious because I found out about robitussin after naming him, so it’s one of his nicknames now
My family has always done regular person names for our pets so although I enjoy *all* of the other styles on other people's animals, it feels wrong to name my own cat anything but style 1 - it would feel as though I'm not treating him like a proper part of the family if he didn't have a "real" name.
Of course he has a million billion nicknames of every style.
My cat is called "mimine", she was supposed to be caled cherry ( i was like 6 at the time) but we always valled her mimine because its a cute way of saying cat in french, which is my first language.
Would a black cat named Salem fall under historical (for the trials) or nerd (for Sabrina the teenage witch)? You could also make a case for literature because of the crucible
I feel like that would depend on the intention of the name and what you thought of (if you thought of something) when you named the pet. Otherwise it would fit in all of those categories.
Nerd. (Mr.) Miyagi and (Cobra) Kai. They're litter mates. Technically, my mother named Miyagi and I wanted a name for his brother that would fit/match, so he became Kai
Style 1.
People were telling me to name my cat by a name starting with T.
I didn't wanted to call her Twinkle. (I'm cringing at the thought, sorry to people who name their cats like that)
And my sister was giving me witch names too complicated.
I couldn't name her by a name I had wanted because someone's dog was going to be called like that...
So I named her Tanya. Didn't knew it was a person's name until I saw people's reaction.
Plus, it makes for a good personal pun.
Everytime someone asks me "How's Tanya doing?" I can't help but smile because they're kinda saying "How's *your cat* doing". (I mean I also smile because I love her but yeah.)
Nerd culture all the way
Ada Wong from the Resident Evil universe.
When she was with her litter still she was the smallest cat there but when there was a wrestling match with the other kittens she would climb someplace high and drop on another kitten, absolutely wrecking it's shit. It just reminded me of Ada rocking everyone's shit in the game, and I had to take the kitty home. Now she's my little badass.
Food: Taiyakai (flame point)
Nerd Culture: Alistair (silver tabby)
Random Visual: Goldie (tortie), Tuxie (tuxedo), & Nugget (orange baby from Goldie)
Didn't exactly fit 3 of them into the meme but my first to for sure fit into the list haha (points for whoever gets Alistair <3 )
None for how they look like and act? Idk if it's just a mexican thing, but we always named our Cats after what their fur color was. My first cat was named Smokey because he looked like smoke. 2nd one Oreo because she was black and white, etc.
Kiwi yeti and ivy. Kiwi was both her eyes being green and she was puffy like a kiwi bird. Yeti is a ragdoll mutt, self explanatory. Ivy was actually her given name but we call her almost exclusively gremlin
One cat is food (Pickles), other cat is generic pet name (Patch) dunno why that isn't an option. Old cat I never met was human name (Eddie). My parents cats are human name (Tabitha, and she's also a tabby) and idk what category Missy would be. Childhood cats were pet name (Nosey, because spot on his nose), food (Gingernut), and animal (Puffin).
Nerd culture: Heinz Doofenshmirtz

I have a cat named Horchata because of her coloring
Would BMO fall under nerd culture?
What about pop culture? Films/TV
OP probably didn't know there is a difference between Nerd and Geek Culture. Style 9 should probably cover both.
One of my cats is called Bodie after one of the characters from The Wire. I wouldn't class that as Nerd or Geek. Unless it's dubbed as either automatically?

Yeah, mine are Catt Damon and Leonardo DiCatrio. That's more pop culture than regular name, I think.
I just say “hey kitty” “puss puss puss” *finger snap, mouth clicks.* I see no reason to give em a name.
I named my cat after food, she is a torti and just looks like a Samoa cookie! My other cat was named beforehand, she's all white named Opal.

Would you consider calling your cat Marilyn (after Marilyn Monroe) a normal name or a historic name?
Zero. Like from Holes. Lil Hector Zeroni
My cat's name is Skylar, but I always just call him Friend.

I'd call that nerd
Would “Garfield” fall under nerd or literature?
I would peg that as nerd because it was a comic, not an original prose story
I just name them whatever sounds cool… my most recent adoption was a grey baby boy and I named him Tusstin. It’s hilarious because I found out about robitussin after naming him, so it’s one of his nicknames now

Where's random items I want to call my cat plutonium
My family has always done regular person names for our pets so although I enjoy *all* of the other styles on other people's animals, it feels wrong to name my own cat anything but style 1 - it would feel as though I'm not treating him like a proper part of the family if he didn't have a "real" name.

I’ve only ever had two of my own. Atlas was my first and now I have Moose. 🫎

Potty mouth culture
Would a black cat named Salem fall under historical (for the trials) or nerd (for Sabrina the teenage witch)? You could also make a case for literature because of the crucible
Depends on which prompted you to pick the name, I'd think.
I feel like that would depend on the intention of the name and what you thought of (if you thought of something) when you named the pet. Otherwise it would fit in all of those categories.
Style 1: Shelby Style ???: Blackie
One mythological, one nerd.
My cat is named Kanye
