really think "Francisco Goya" is a good name for an animal. What will be very clear, though, is that you live your life quietly begging the world to bring that name up so you can talk at length about your vast knowledge of Spanish painters and, by extension, bore the shit out of everyone within earshot. In short, what I'm saying is don't use your pet's name to give people another reason to hate you. Just wear an Ed Hardy shirt if being disliked is so important to you.

It works every time.

You should also not use your pet's name to give people another reason to think you're a degenerate binge drinker. So skip the alcohol themed names as well. You know what kind of pets are named "Jack Daniels"? The kind that end up in rescue shelters because their owner was found sleeping it off in a ditch 600 miles from home with alcohol induced amnesia. If you're even entertaining the thought of naming your pet after booze, it's probably a good sign that you're not ready for the responsibility of owning a pet (and that you have a severe drinking problem). Oh, and it should go without saying that if you name your pet "Bentley" or "Porsche" or any other luxury brand name, people immediately assume you have shitty credit and a home in foreclosure. Just a heads up.
