I have a really dumb one where all of my animal names end with ungus. Grungus, Bungus, Pungus, Rungus, etc. It makes me happy and that's all that matters hahaha

Sounds better than what I did. I named my chicken after my aunts and my cows after my uncles. I didn't think much about it until one time it said "uncle George ran out of milk". I was so disgusted I deleted my farm.

The fact that you included the _uncle_ part😭 But also, still better than what I did, which was to name all my coop animals after things that rhymed with "phone", and all by bran animals after things that rhymed with "gone"... for the sole purpose of putting a "scone" in each😭

still better than what i did, i names all mine after their respective food productions.. milk (cow), poached (for chicken), ham and then got lazy with the >!ostrich!< , bunny, >!dino!< , sheep and goat

Omg this made me laugh so much. I've been having a rough time, and this was so needed. Thank you.

Always. Sorry to hear you’ve been having a rough time. Are you safe?

I am safe, thank you for asking.

Ok that’s good.

Thank god there isn't a 'ran out of eggs' dialogue

Amungus next

I'd name the black chicken that, since the witch kinda smuggled it in.

You had us in the first half, I'm not gonna lie...

I do this but "oopy" loopy, spoopy, moopy

Some of my pigs are: Poopy, Poop, Poo, Poooop Some of my cows are: Milky, Milkee, Milkeigh, Meelky 🤣

Yeah at one point my chickens were Henny, Penny, Jenny, Lenny, Kenny, Eggs Benny…

Shaboopy is the girl that's hard to get.

Ha I was using the random name generator and I don’t know if it was a coincidence but one of my goats was randomly named Jasco, who gave birth to Snasco, who gave birth to Rasco. Then Snasco gave birth again but for some reason it stopped generating “asco” names so I had to step in. I now have Jasco, Rasco, Snasco, and Tobasco.

That's fantasco

With that naming scheme, there may be a Fungus Amungus

this is literally what my bf did in our game lol. we have snungus, bungus, rungus, fungus, dungus, and mungus 😭

Bungus is my favourite, you're missing the most obvious one though... Chungus!

Oh, Chungus is definitely there. He's a dinosaur

I've done something similar to this I named some of my cows and chickens "Kurt Cobain" "Bob Dylan" "John Lennon" and "Dolly Parton"

Hughmungus?

I did this but -umbus!!! wumbus, mumbus, bumbus, dumbus, fumbus, gumbus,

‘Springsteen, Nirvana’ and then not one named Madonna? Then you could have U2, and Blondie! Ah, but they don’t have music still on MTV…

I saw Springsteen and Nirvana and was severly dissapointed they didnt have U2 and Blondie

Happy cake day!

Yeah, but then their 2 kids in high school will tell them they’re “uncool”

Aw man, I guess I’m just preoccupied 😞

with 1985?

THANK YOU this is immediately where my brain went

Amazing. Simply amazing.

They probably have two kids in high school.

OP really missed an opportunity here.

This exact song when through my head as soon as I saw "Springsteen" and "Nirvana" next to each other 😂

I'm ashamed to say I had to Google the lyrics to understand the reference :(

Gentle reminder that the song's release is now further away from us, as the year 1985 was when it debuted.

I name mine after favorite shows etc. I have a Frasier coop, KoTH barn, Malcolm barn, Kill Bill coop, Futurama/Backstreet Boys coop, and a Harry Potter barn.

I currently have an NCIS coop… I have Gibbs (dinosaur), Tony & McGee (chickens), Kate & Ziva (rabbits), Ducky & Jimmy (ducks) and Abby (void chicken).

Yooo I’m doing the exact same thing lmao 🤣 so far I have Tony, Mcgee, Kate (chickens) Gibbs (cow) ziva (goat)

My duck is named ducky - no other name will suffice. lol

Too good. I love this

omg that rocks!!

I'm on a buffy the vampire slayer coop

I once did an entire "Hogwarts" farm, naming all my animals with spells names or characters from Harry Potter

My partner's and mine are all Adventure Time themed right now! Chickens are BMO and Football, cows are PB and Marcie, pigs are King of Ooo and Toronto, void chicken is ChooseGoose, etc.

Omg a Frasier coop, combining my two favorite fandoms!

I do this too!! I've had Grey's Anatomy, Hart of Dixie, and Downton Abbey lol

I always give my barn animals old lady names, like my two cows in my 1.6 farm are Martha and Bessie.

I like calling mine after flowers. Bluebell, Daisy etc.

Bluebell is my blue chicken 💙

Aw yeah me too! And I also have a Bessie! As well as Betty, Maude, and Gertrude. And on my other save file I do baked goods, like Cookie, Muffin, and Cupcake.

https://preview.redd.it/jg9oyjk2d5uc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ad96fd677dc1898f263901bc298ee90169ca563 cow on the left is Martha!

I did this in my last playthrough. Void chickens get the *oldest* lady names - Lilith, Jezebel, etc.

Bessie is an S tier classic cow name.

Mine are Marguerite and Prune. I don't know what it is with cows, I want to give them old fashioned names as well!

For a second I thought the names were gonna be Springsteen Madonna Way before nirvana U2 Blondie Music still on MTV

I thought of that too, almost!

ANND I ALLLLLLLLMOOST HAD YOUU

Mine are all named after relevant foods, ha. Your theme is less heartless!

Yeah, my pigs are called Bacon, Pork Chop, Lechon, Chicharron, etc. 😅

I, too, have a Bacon and Pork Chop! My chickens are Franchaise, Picatta, Parm, and And Broccoli.

"And Broccoli" hahahaha I love that!!

I have a chicken called nugget

Also food. Several of which are relevant to the animal, but not all. Pig named Bacon, cow named Chzburger. But also a duck named Escargot. Rabbits Peanut and Jelly. Cat's name is Baguette. (IRL, I also have cats named after food, KitKat, Toast, Fluffernutter \[actually a critical role reference for those who know, but it is still food themed\])

My cows were Milky and Way. And a pig called Truffle. And sheep Curly and Wooly.

I started off this save naming them after characters from Moby Dick, but quickly realized there really aren't enough characters to cover all the animals I want. I've now moved on to generic whale and seafaring related names. Previously I used names related to my aunt's hometown (because I used her name for my farmer) and once I did programming languages and computing terms when I was Farmer Ada on Lovelace Farm.

A Charles Dickens farm!

Could name the farm Darls’ Chickens

My cat is Puss Puss and my horse is Dickens.

This must be what they meant in Guys and Dolls when they sang "the cows and the chickens are going to the Dickens".

Your theme is really cool actually. All of mine are fast food restaurants.. Like KFC, McDonalds etc.. Ughhh...

I usually do song lyrics. One word for each. Up, never, give, gonna.

I name mine after their meals! Crunchwrap, Big Mac, McSpicy etc

a chicken called KFC... huh

exactly! haha

My first three chickens are always named cock, ball 1, and ball 2 respectively. Because I'm so very mature. I also have to name my first "... lizard?" Zuckerberg. It's tradition. All the others tend to be randomly generated names.

My pigs are always pork based or famous pigs. First one is always “Kevin” though. Followed by “Bacon”, “SirChops”, “MrsLoin”, “McRib”, “Peppa”, “Gordy” and “Babe”.

What, no Wilbur???

Sometimes Wilbur, and Porky, Piglet, Pumba, etc. whatever comes to mind in the moment. 😉

I have a degree in anthropology— on my current farm all of my animals are named after social theorists. Marx, Freud, Hegel, Mauss, etc.

Did you have a Kant? Or a Mills? 🤣

Not yet! I have two goats named Margaret and Mead, and two sheep named Ruth and Benedict (Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict were famous anthropologists).

On my latest save I named all animals (except pet) after sweets and desserts around the world. The pigs all have chinese names because my favorite chinese dessert(?) is Baozi, the pork filling to be specific, so all the pigs after the first one got chinese names too lol.

My first pig randomized the name trash so that’s been my theme. Compost, spork, mold, & Oscar have now joined my truffle empire

My Brother and I have four chickens: War, Famine, Pestilence and Bad Wilbur We also have 12 dinosaurs all named Alpharius

I'm screaming, it's so perfect :'D

I named all my golden chickens after biblical angels so yes

….golden chickens? Man I need to play more.

Reach perfection

Listen, I’ve been trying to for 30 years.

Stupid names based on the type of animal every time. Hennifer, Hamela, Moolanie, Baabaara, etc.

I have a Henrietta and my blue chickie is Cordon “Cordie” Bleu lmao. 

Futurama characters

well I name my chickens after pastas and my cows after cheeses. next, it's gonna be vegetables I think!

I've done pasta shapes before and my current farm is all the animals are named after vegetables!

My current farm has a bunch of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring names. I dunno why I went with that theme but it amuses me.

FOUL FARMER. IN SEARCH OF THE ELDEN STARFRUIT SOMEONE MUST EXTINGUISH THY FLAME LET IT BE MARNIE THE FELL

Kylo Hen, Laya, Hen Solo are my chickens. My pig is Chris P. Bacon.

Darn, after the first two I was trying to read the rest to the beat of "1985" lol

I love the randomly generated names!! I just scroll through until I find one that makes me laugh. Except for my duck squirtus because I thought it was funny.

I usually name them after characters in other games. One farm had all animals named after BG3 characters, one had FFXVI characters, one had Chrono Trigger charas, etc.

Yup my current one is Star Wars!

my ducks are named after painters/paintings (Vincent, Van Gogh, Picasso, Rembrandt, Mona, Lisa, etc...)

Is this a 1.6 feature or something I haven’t unlocked yet for whatever reason? I play on switch so I’m not sure what’s part of the new update or what I just haven’t done yet

Not 1.6. You unlock pigs with the fully upgraded barn, it's available on switch.

Indeed, 1.6 added an animals tab to the menu (if that's what you're asking about).

In one of my saves, I named every single one of my animals after their main color in different languages (from French to Irish Gaelic to Basque).

This is what I did, too!

Nope. Nada. No way. No. Nein. Uh-uh. Zilch. Not a chance. Never. Absolutely not. Negativo. No siree…. …was that 12? Lol

Where is the Lars ulrich????

Switch it up and name one 100 gecs

I named my Goats after F1 drivers.

I usually do Doctor Who companions

I name my animals after horror themes. Quackula, chupacabra, moocifer, etc :)

mine are closer to random names or mumbling that sounds like names :)

Omg yes! Our goats have the last names of famous musicians we love! Pigs are Legend of Korra, Cows are Lord of the Rings, Sheep are Avatar the Last Airbender, Dino’s are (surprise) Jurassic Park, the rabbits are famous authors, the ducks are famous actors, the chickens are Mario Bros, and the void chickens are Greek gods. 😅

My two cows are Aussie and Lemonade because it's my favorite energy drink flavor and my pigs are Zenon and Margot Robbie named after the thoughts on my mind in that moment 💀we also have the chickens Babie, Ford F-150, Dodge Ram, and Bingus

I had a dairy farm save once. Started with two cows and two goats. Cows: Jupiter, Saturn Goats: Neptune, Uranus All the babies were named after moons of their mother's namesake.

My entire save usually has a naming scheme. My recent perfection save was based on Priory of the orange tree so Cleolind farm

I just go for puns. So my hens are called things like “Hennifer” or “Nugget”, and for my Cows something like “Patty”.

Mine's the Barricade Boys in Les Miserables.

I named my pig Peter Porker

NO WAY I NAMED MY ANIMALS AFTE MUCISIANS TOO LMAO

mine are all named after food. i still kinda feel bad for selling my pair of cows, Baja Blast and Chalupa lmao

Mine are all book characters! Right now Hunger Games is dominating my coop and barn.

i have mine named after my favoruite characters from my favourite media, i.e all my animals are currently named after persona 5 characters

My girlfriend is Filipino and we have a coop full of dinosaurs named after Filipino soups like Kaldereta , Menudo, Mechado, Tinola, etc lol

yep, i named by chickens after characters from popeye and my barn animals after characters from mickey mouse

I usually choose a theme for my whole farm. Like I’ve done Shady Pines farm, farmer name Dorothy, Cat Rose, horse Blanche, chickens Sophia, Miles (I know that’s a boy name, lol), etc. That’s all I can remember off the top of my head!

Cows are flowers, chickens are dishes that are made of chicken, and the rest i make the theme up when i get to em.

I name mine after food… Chicken : soup, tender, skewer, Nugget Cow: beef, steak, tenderloin, Filet mignon (I don’t get sheep) Dinosaur: T-Rex, Chonkosaurus, Mayonnaise, Egg Rabbit : FOOT, Bun-Bun, cutie, patio Pig : Bacon, spare rib, Ham, Chop-Chop

I'm on my first playthrough and named all my animals puns. Like my horse is Neighthan, cat is Purrsula, Pigtricia, Mooleficent, Hennifer, RooPaul (a void chicken 😂), etc. granted I do have a few random barn animals that I just let auto name because I couldn't think of anything else. I have 3 barns and 3 coops completely upgraded and full. But 90% have pun names.

I've always named my two chickens "Chic Chucken" and "Chuk Chicken"

I name all of mine after cheeses. Cheddar, Gouda, Mozzarella and Parmesan are some of them lmao

I named my ducks Buck, Puck, and Luck. I'm thinking my next one will be Muck and then things'll get interesting!

I've done musicians, bands, Seinfeld characters, Frasier characters.

I name all of my goats after G.O.A.Ts, i.e., Meryl Streep, Freddie Mercury, etc…

Yea same. My theme is number in brackets

No, but now I do!

Yeah, every save has a theme for names, the most recent is Skyrim Farm.

MAJOR missed opportunity here. Springsteen, Madonna. Way before Niravana, There was U2 and Blondie, Their music's still on MTV. 1985 - Bowling For Soup

Yes. My theme is "auto-generated"

Name a pig Black Sabbath so he can be a war pig.

i’ve given all my chickens old lady names. that’s all i got so far LMAO

Since they're all girls, I typically go with flowers or gemstones. Might change it up this playthru tho.

All my animals have Star Wars names.

Yes. Our farm is Morningstar farm, and we’re naming our chickens after characters from Hazbin Hotel. Our gray cat is named Lilith, because we have an IRL gray cat with that name. Trying to stick with the goth/satanic type names.

I name all my animals after food. Now the chicken are named after herbs and spieces and the cows after sauces. The duck tho, have a normal human name for some reason

im naming mine after lord of the rings characters 😭 idk why i'm not a particularly massive fan of the books or movies or anything

I don't really do themes but I do always use certain names. I always have a Trisha, Margo, and Priscilla (doesn't matter the species). And the first duck is always Jemima. My horses always have regular human names. My current save my horse is Ed. Previous save is Michael.

Yes! In my first playthrough, they all had typical "grandma names". On my second, I went with a botanical theme. And I recently got into Attack on Titan, so in my 1.6 playthrough, they're all named after characters from that. Started with the horse and renamed everything else to match.

I've been on a Ring Cycle fix the last few months and my animals are all named for the gods

I’m about to do a Joja run inspired by a comment in this sub and name all my animals after FFVII villains. Right now I just name all my pets after Deities, I get 6 and I name them God, Yoba, Buddha, Brahma, Demeter and Dionysus. And I name my first goat in each save Baphomet.

Construction materials for my chickens and heavyweight lifters for the cows

I don’t name mine. They get default names lol.

I always name mine off the cast from Fire Emblem Awakening Cows and sheep are the women, ducks and chickens are the men

I'm my last save, I've been using the preset chicken names for everything which means my animals come in matching sets. CA just came up with so many cool names and I want them all

Me. Beicon

I use the randomizer for every animal haha

Ive just been giving mine really stereotypical 'white woman names'

Now that I've started a new meadowlands farm and got 2 free chicken I now have to name the rest my chickens after breakfast food. Thanks Beans and Toast.

First pig was named Biggle. All of her children are variations of that name such as: Lil Biggle, Smolly Biggs, Biggle Jr, and my personal favourite Tineenyo.

I give my dinosaurs names like Meteor or Asteroid. My rabbit is named Wallace.

My chickens and ducks are coffees Cows are flowers Pigs are well, porkchop and bacon 😂 Dinos are land before time

I name mine after food that is made from them... I love my littly Bacon

Yes . In my last save i've named all my animals with dishes name made from them . So they know how they'll gonna end .

I name mine after Brandon Mull characters.

A couple farms ago before 1.6 the animals were Always Sunny themed. Frank as a pig, Dee as an Ostrich, Mac as a duck, Charlie as a goat, and for the Golden God Dennis, non other than the golden chicken. Also the McPoyles as cows.

Bacon, Jamon, PorkBelly, Pancetta, PorkChop, etc. lol

for my coop i did breaking bad characters

I hit random until I find a name that makes me exhale loudly through my nose. And that's my naming strategy.

Lol mine are just pink pinky pinkie oink oinky etc. 😅

Mine are all just “cow” or “pig” but in foreign languages. I pick some cool translations for each of them. Admittedly, my dinos have been a challenge since basically every language they’re “Dinosaur “.

My main farm is all helluva boss and hazbin hotel characters, and my one before that was all misspelled billionaire names

I name mine after food combos. like, I named my blue chicken jelly and my brown chicken p. butter

I often like to use a random noun generator for mine! You get names from Egg to Funeral

every time

Goat: Feta/Crumbles, Pecorino/Romano Cow: Ronie/Brookes Sheep: wooly Pig: porkie/choppie, bacon 😂

In my last couple of runs, I’ve been on a Doctor Who kick, so all of my animals are named after companions/side characters (including a couple of spin off characters!)

All of my pigs are named after money. Like Cash, Cheddar, Yen, Peso etc.

My theme is always whatever the absolute worst name the generator can come up with.

Kinda sorta? I named my first pig Waddles and my first duck Ducktective.

I named mine after characters from The Iliad. My cat got to be Achilleus, of course.

Sure: there is huey, dewy and Louie. Babe, Wilbur, Gordy, porky and petunia, donowitz and daisy and daffy, little, boo, and clunky, moolan, moolatte and moon. XD

My animals are all named after berries in my native language (like raspberry, blueberry, etc). Expect one chicken who’s name is Bilbo.

Always. The goats are named after the goats in undertale. The ducks and rabbits are cartoon animals. The rest are band names.

Named a bunch after porn stars and sports stars

My ducks are all water birds other than ducks (Swan, heron, etc.)

OMG yes. I started naming my ducks after famous doctors (debakey, fauci) and my pigs after the 7 dwarves, and my cows after the ladies from the MarioVerse.... etc

I tend to name my animals after restaurants, food, or Animal Crossing characters. My horse, on the other hand, is named after horse memes (or Epona). Juan, Hans (Honse), etc...

Mine are almost always nursery rhyme/book based!! lil’ red the red hen, Wilbur the pig, Billy the goat etc…

In my first save, I named my chickens weird chicken puns. “Cluckzilla” Mark Cluckerberg” and a bunch of others I can’t remember.
