I love animals.
You'll see a little dog - There's one at the bakery - A complete bald spot. I'm ready to take the liver out of myself. I don't feel sorry, darling, eat! To Mayakovsky

One way or another, everyone, even those who are not interested in the details of secular news, pay attention to photos where media personalities are captured with their dogs. This involuntarily evokes the thought: are they not so far from us? And some are downright cute.

And the dog is not interested in social status. This is what makes her beautiful. What kind of dogs do people whose names everyone knows keep in their homes? And, most importantly, what are they called?

In our country, most dog lovers don’t think long about choosing a name for their pet. Sometimes on the street, for example, in some village, you can meet several Bobikov and Sharikov at once. The logic here is simple - it’s a dog, what’s there to think about? The ranking of the five most popular dog names in our country are: Buddy, Bobik, Sharik, Zhuchka and Polkan. In addition to these nicknames, the list could include Trezors, Kashtanki, Bulki, Naida, Zhulki, Knopki, Dzhulbarsy and Palma.

The nickname Dzhulbars is the name of the famous dog, who was a hero of the Second World War, and then became the hero of books and films.

A shepherd named Palma was abandoned by his owner at the airport. He flew away, and Palma remained waiting for him on the runway. She waited for him for many years, and only towards the end of her life the dog believed one woman who had accustomed the shepherd to herself for a long time.

Animal main characters often appear in various works. These can be funny adventures for children, classics, detective stories - regardless of the genre, the characters of cats, dogs, parrots and other little brothers organically complement any plot.

The name of a fictional character plays a key role - it determines his type and character. Therefore, the names of animals from books and cartoons are selected as carefully as names for people, and are often used in real life to emphasize the individuality of the pet. And nicknames in the artistic world are very different.

Cartoon characters

Many animal names from cartoons are associated with funny, kind characters: the hard-working, good-natured dog Sharik and the cunning cat Matroskin from the cartoon “Vacations in Prostokvashino”, the kindest Leopold from “The Adventures of Leopold the Cat”, a cute kitten named Woof.

After the release of the animated film “Garfield,” owners of ginger kittens universally used the nickname of the main character for their pets – a fat, lazy ginger cat.

The serial adventures of Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse made the sonorous cat nickname Tom popular, but if there is also a decorative mouse living in the house, then you don’t have to think about choosing a name for it.

Popular dog names from cartoons: Goofy from Goofy and His Friends, Bolt and Balto from the cartoons of the same name, Slink from Toy Story. The names of the main characters of the timeless cartoon “Bobik visiting Barbos” are in demand - the cheerful dogs Bobik and Barbos.

Many pet parrots are named after the legendary Kesha parrot - funny and adventurous. And some were called Zigzag for their masterly flights around the apartment - like the pilot character from DuckTales, although he was a duck. The same cartoon made popular the nicknames Ponca for cats and Billy, Willie and Dilly for dogs, hamsters and even fish. Thus, the nicknames of cartoon characters are not always used “for their intended purpose.”

It is unlikely that anyone would have a lion as a pet, but the colorful name Boniface from the cartoon of the same name is used to call both dogs and cats. Kitties are often nicknamed Bagheera, although the cartoon heroine is a panther. Small dogs and cats are given the affectionate name Bambi in honor of the cartoon deer. And for snow-white kittens, puppies, calves, they choose the name Umka - a small polar bear cub.

It is impossible to resist the temptation not to name a couple of hamsters Chip and Dale in honor of the famous cartoon characters about the adventures of the cheerful chipmunks. The turtles are given the names Leonardo and Donatello, just like the characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And the fish are often called after the character of “SpongeBob” Patrick or simply SpongeBob after the name of the cartoon.

Interesting nicknames from cartoons can sometimes be used for several animals at once. So, in “Grom the Cat and the Enchanted House” the main characters are the red cat Grom, the Chihuahua dog Charlie, the mouse Mini and the rabbit Jack. And in "The Secret Life of Pets" - the hamster Norman, the parrot Pea, the cat Chloe, the dogs Gidget, Maximilian, Duke and Leonard.

Movie characters

Nicknames from films are no less popular among pet owners. Thanks to the famous film “The Adventures of Pinocchio,” cats are called Basilio, turtles are called Tortillas, poodles are called Artemon, and cats with a cunning character are called Alice, despite the fact that this character is not a cat, but a fox.

The heroes of films are often cute cats. In 1958, the film “The Bell, the Book and the Candle” was released, where one of the first “movie stars” starred - a cat named Pywacket, who played the pet of the witch Jill. The cat from Harry Potter, Crookshanks, also became famous.

After the touching film “Babe: The Four-Legged Baby,” about a pig who miraculously escaped the fate of becoming Christmas dinner, some piglets began to be named after this hero. And some pet mice received the nickname Stuart - in honor of the main character of the film “Stuart Little”, a charming white mouse.

Book heroes

Animal names from books often inspire the choice of a suitable name for a pet: after reading, owners no longer have any doubts about what to name their pet.

In addition to Hippopotamus, common names of cats from books are: Cher, short for Winston Churchill (Pet Sematary, Stephen King) - a cat who returned to his owners after death, Clovis (The Sleepwalkers, Stephen King). On the pages of the Strugatsky brothers’ novel “A Billion Years Before the End of the World,” a cat appears with the unusual name Kalam (kalam is an instrument used for calligraphy in Arabic writing).

Dogs of Russian rulers

Love for dogs distinguished many Russian rulers. After all, a person standing at the pinnacle of power is usually immensely lonely. And only the dog always remains next to him - in triumph and sorrow.

Interesting Facts! Thus, the setter Milord, the dog of Emperor Alexander II, could not bear separation from his owner, stopped eating and died “of a broken heart.” The king did not forgive himself for this until the end of his life.

Alexander III's favorite husky, Kamchatka, died during the famous train accident, when the royal family miraculously survived. The Tsar bitterly noted that his “only selfless friend” was gone.

And Nicholas I completely fell in love with the dirty gray poodle of the Westbaden magician, bought him, renamed him from Munito to Hussar, pampered him in every possible way (Hussar could eat crackers from the emperor’s desk) and considered him smarter than many people from his circle.

Even in paintings, pets were often depicted next to their owners.
