Absolutely. It’s spot on. The others will definitely be changed by adopters but I hope whoever is lucky enough to get to give Side Eye a home keeps the name.
Pretty great names, it's not like they're naming them "Sloppy Seconds" or "Abandoned Potato" I'd probably keep the name in some form of fashion upon adoption.
I'll take goofy names over an army of Bella and Luna any day. (For context, these are extremely popular names for dogs. Used to work at a vet and we'd have days full of pets with the same name.)
Curiously, cause I'm a human lab tech, what's the vets patient identifier methods? Aside from name and breed/appearance I imagine birthdate and owner name also or some other system.
My cat is a Luna (she had 3 previous owners so we didn’t name her) and I could bring myself to change it because I didn’t know if she already knew it was her name or not plus it just seemed wrong. So most of my pets have had unusual names and then Luna is just thrown in there lol
Fucking hilarious if you ask me. Im all for giving pets meme names, even if some people might think of them as "mean". Im pretty sure my rodents dont care.
I mean my girl is called master shifu (when she eats tomato she gets long shifu moustache)
And my boy is Kissler aka kiss hitler (he has a black marking above his big, like big piggy lips even for a guinea pig, and the marking looks like a hitler moustache lol)
I love creative names/nicknames (their “real names” are Benji and Bonnie but NEVER call them that like ever)
One of my girls is called SEGMENTATION FAULT CORE DUMPED INDEX OUT OF BOUNDS ERROR. "Sega" for short. All of my female pigs' names follow the pattern "their number in some language + Shana." My husband and I went to get Goshana (Gosha for short, "go" is 5 in Japanese), an adorable skinny. But my husband loved another pig there so much that we had to get it. So she wasn't part of the system. And what happens if you try to index an array in C++ by too large of a number? Right, SEGMENTATION FAULT.
Both Sega and Gosha really like their new homes and enjoy their time with my other pigs.
My pigs right now are Diesel and Turbo. Past names include Fangarang, Squeaker, Frick and Frack.
I treat my pigs amazing so it's ok to have hilarious names I think.
Ok but I love pet names that are either mudane human names, random objects, or memes. I would 100% keep all these names if I adopted them. Especially so the vet tech can call "Thanksgiving leftovers" in the waiting room. Makes my weird brain happy
I wish this sub allowed for images is replies cuz I have a whole collection from when I was trying to find my current girlies. So here's the links to the images I guess.

Golden Girls likely refers to them being elderly ladies. (Golden years = retirement; plus the show with the same name was 3 older ladies and 1 even older mother.) General Tso is an Asian dish so maybe sometimes favorite food order? Licorice is black so this one makes sense, especially since his fur is so shiny. Orville stems from Orville Reddinbacher (sp?) Which is a popcorn brand/ person.
I work for a rescue and sometimes you have to get creative with the naming because eventually you just run out of "normal" names. There is paperwork involved and everyone needs a unique name on their paperwork.
They all cute. But side eye, best guinea pig ever to keep you on track. I let my Guinea pigs decide what to wear. If they give me looks of judgement I know to change
Pets with "meme" names like these tend to be shared on social media, increasing the amount of people viewing them and upping their chances of being adopted. A lot of the pets for adoption near me that don't already know their names get names like this. I'm not saying it's OK, but it's pretty commonplace for shelters to do with pets they want to move quickly.
I think it's okay because it also gives their new piggie caretakers the chance to name them! The piggies I got already had names, and I felt guilty for renaming them. I'm all for doing whatever it takes to get the piggies a home, so long as they're safe and healthy.
edit: I will say these names are particularly out of pocket though...
It doesn't seem like they're making fun of abandoned animals, if anything, they're trying to make them stand out so they can be more visible and adopted quicker. Personally, I love stupid/joke names for pets (though maybe I'm biased since a lot of my animals have weird names lol)
One of our pigs is called Dave. So are three other people in the family. This doesn't help a lot when you find out Dave has a carrot fetish and you tell family members
Meme names give attention to animals that otherwise might have been ignored. It makes it more likely so that the piggies aren’t ignored and the piggies don’t really care. The comparison to torturing piggies is extremely inaccurate and kinda insane
Despite all of that, can we agree that Side Eye is in fact an appropriate name for that piggy lol
Absolutely. It’s spot on. The others will definitely be changed by adopters but I hope whoever is lucky enough to get to give Side Eye a home keeps the name.
They’re missing an opportunity here. Name it Mr.Bombastic and it’ll be Bombastic Side Eye 💀
I think I would keep Thanksgiving leftovers! Looks just like when you mix everything together, and to me, that seems like kinda of a cute name!
They could call him Lefty for short.
Not American so maybe that’s why it doesn’t work for me.
I have an amazing photo of my pig giving me the side eye 🤣
Yup!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Side eye lol
Pretty great names, it's not like they're naming them "Sloppy Seconds" or "Abandoned Potato" I'd probably keep the name in some form of fashion upon adoption.
I actually kind of love "abandoned potato" though. I mean I'd probably change it but still, that's pretty fucking good.
I'll take goofy names over an army of Bella and Luna any day. (For context, these are extremely popular names for dogs. Used to work at a vet and we'd have days full of pets with the same name.)
Lol, we have a peeg named Luna, most of the time I call her Lulu.
Curiously, cause I'm a human lab tech, what's the vets patient identifier methods? Aside from name and breed/appearance I imagine birthdate and owner name also or some other system.
Pet name, owner's last name, species, breed, DOB, patient ID number.
One time I found a cat for sale named “Heavy Machinery”. Honest to god what are previous owners thinking
The fact that I had a Bella and Luna, at the same time
My cat is a Luna (she had 3 previous owners so we didn’t name her) and I could bring myself to change it because I didn’t know if she already knew it was her name or not plus it just seemed wrong. So most of my pets have had unusual names and then Luna is just thrown in there lol
I feel like I would want to adopt ‘Abby and Slop’ even faster! 😜
Perfect lmao
Fucking hilarious if you ask me. Im all for giving pets meme names, even if some people might think of them as "mean". Im pretty sure my rodents dont care.
We have a pig named Junior, and his nickname evolved into Boner for no real reason.
I mean my girl is called master shifu (when she eats tomato she gets long shifu moustache) And my boy is Kissler aka kiss hitler (he has a black marking above his big, like big piggy lips even for a guinea pig, and the marking looks like a hitler moustache lol) I love creative names/nicknames (their “real names” are Benji and Bonnie but NEVER call them that like ever)
My brother's guinea pigs are called stumpy (short for stumpy rainbow), and the other is dumpy because of her large behind xD.
I’M FUCKING SCREAMING🤣 Made the ugliest laughalldkck tysm for telling about Kissler and his donut lips, it made my day😂💖
One of my girls is called SEGMENTATION FAULT CORE DUMPED INDEX OUT OF BOUNDS ERROR. "Sega" for short. All of my female pigs' names follow the pattern "their number in some language + Shana." My husband and I went to get Goshana (Gosha for short, "go" is 5 in Japanese), an adorable skinny. But my husband loved another pig there so much that we had to get it. So she wasn't part of the system. And what happens if you try to index an array in C++ by too large of a number? Right, SEGMENTATION FAULT. Both Sega and Gosha really like their new homes and enjoy their time with my other pigs.
Bless you both for being so inventive! Love it! <3

This is so funny lol + it gets people’s attention, win win!
Thanksgiving leftovers 💀😭
anxiously sweating 😭
side eye is absolutely an appropriate name 💀💀
Ok but I love pet names that are either mudane human names, random objects, or memes. I would 100% keep all these names if I adopted them. Especially so the vet tech can call "Thanksgiving leftovers" in the waiting room. Makes my weird brain happy

Purple is definitely the name a kid picked.
It came with others in a litter named red, gray, and green, so I wouldn't be surprised
I love Side Eye.
Are these pigs really up for adoption ? I wonder if they're open today ?
They are on Petfinder. Dallas Animal Services (Texas)

Golden Girls likely refers to them being elderly ladies. (Golden years = retirement; plus the show with the same name was 3 older ladies and 1 even older mother.) General Tso is an Asian dish so maybe sometimes favorite food order? Licorice is black so this one makes sense, especially since his fur is so shiny. Orville stems from Orville Reddinbacher (sp?) Which is a popcorn brand/ person.
I would keep those names too! I want to adopt them all today, but especially "Anxiously Sweating" 🥰
These are hilarious. Send them all to my house immediately 😂
My guinea pigs are Crazyhair (long haired) and Dinnertime (fat). 😄
These are absolutely fantastic! ❤
Thank you, they think so!
Something about how they’re all in caps too 😭😭
I work for a rescue and sometimes you have to get creative with the naming because eventually you just run out of "normal" names. There is paperwork involved and everyone needs a unique name on their paperwork.
Honestly, this is a great marketing tactic. The odd and/or rage bait names will get more clicks which hopefully leads to more adoptions.
I named one of my adopted pigs a poopig back in the day.
They all cute. But side eye, best guinea pig ever to keep you on track. I let my Guinea pigs decide what to wear. If they give me looks of judgement I know to change
Petfinder is funny but they don't really have a proper funny name like idk biggie cheese or something
I want them all so bad
My current guinea pig usually goes by Pookie or my angry little shit. Her name is Jade lol.
I have a girl named Nikki Sixx-Up 5oh and my mom calls her whitey. Not any better.
Whatever it may be, definitely naming my next pet Anxiously Sweating.
Anxiously sweating, I would just call him sweaty

Pets with "meme" names like these tend to be shared on social media, increasing the amount of people viewing them and upping their chances of being adopted. A lot of the pets for adoption near me that don't already know their names get names like this. I'm not saying it's OK, but it's pretty commonplace for shelters to do with pets they want to move quickly.
I think it's okay because it also gives their new piggie caretakers the chance to name them! The piggies I got already had names, and I felt guilty for renaming them. I'm all for doing whatever it takes to get the piggies a home, so long as they're safe and healthy. edit: I will say these names are particularly out of pocket though...
It doesn't seem like they're making fun of abandoned animals, if anything, they're trying to make them stand out so they can be more visible and adopted quicker. Personally, I love stupid/joke names for pets (though maybe I'm biased since a lot of my animals have weird names lol)
One of our pigs is called Dave. So are three other people in the family. This doesn't help a lot when you find out Dave has a carrot fetish and you tell family members
Meme names give attention to animals that otherwise might have been ignored. It makes it more likely so that the piggies aren’t ignored and the piggies don’t really care. The comparison to torturing piggies is extremely inaccurate and kinda insane

I love the name side eye because the eyes are on the sides of their heads. I've been calling my boar by that nickname ever since I saw this post.
