my pets' names have been a mix of pet names and human names. i once named a betta fish after louise from bob's burgers. most of my pets were betta fish, actually, which was really bad in hindsight because of the horrible conditions they were kept in

betta fish are supposed to be kept in larger aquariums but pet stores really like advertising those cup-sized aquariums to would-be betta owners
i do really like naming my plushies after fictional characters though! i have a flamingo plush named after harry from disco elysium, and a zebra named after bob from bob's burgers :)

I'm not sure how I feel about pets in general, they were kinda fun to have, but I always felt bad about having these animals in situations that didn't really seem ideal for them; even though I took Chomp out for walks in the garden, he still spent so much of his life in a tank.. I don't think Id want to do that again unless I had garden pond or something more open.
im in a similar boat. i don't think i'd be comfortable with getting a pet if i didn't know how to take care of it and if i couldn't really hold myself responsible for the care of it. i briefly wanted to get a pet rat at one time but from there i learned how terrible pet stores are for the actual health of most pets ;^;
