I'm needing a proper survivor/strong as fuck name.

(The dog was a puppy, and didn't leave any puncture wounds. Just some pneumo thorocia, a lot of internal bruising, and a possible broken or bruised rib. She is currently planted firmly next to my leg on the couch with a hospital tent waiting for her when I go to sleep.)

Her name is furiousa!

Oh this has real promise! I'm a fan of the genre and have had it for years from a humble bundle. I'm going to put energy into actually making progress right now!

Edit: update I didn't have it, but if anyone has a spare key, I have soooooo many unused ones to trade if anyone wants. I've been buying them since the first super meat boy one.

In a fucked up way, it kinda fits.

Revenant.

She's gonna grow up and teach that pup a thing or two if she ever gets outside again.

(you can call her Rev for short)

This may sound a bit shallow but between elden ring and doom. I don't think I could cause myself flashbacks everytime I say "wud up little (thing I secretly hate)."

Still love the energy, and you get an updoot regardless!

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fair enough. How about Randy?

Fuck, this one is good!

Edit: also I could mispronounce it to sound like "lucky" while in the presence of her benefactor.

Ok, this one deserves to be in the finale

I love the literal interpretation! Neighbor footed the ~$300 vet bill and she just told me she thinks it should be "lucky". I'm thinking calling this little shit that only in the neighbors presence. She will be an indoor only cat cause it's a fairly rural area with tons of wildlife that will make her disappear in an instant.

Please, OP, see these names, and mark them, for they are good, and right.

Freyja carries weight, as she is currently consuming my love, while simultaneously destroying my sleep schedule.

Surprised I didn’t read Xena

Fuck me, Lisa lawless has a strange place in my heart!

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

How about something having to do with the number 8?

..a nod at cats having 9 lives and you helped with her 1st save ❤️

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 3 weeks ago

I dig it. Like with "ocho cinco", but with more thought put into it.

[–] Vendemus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

This has some fun potential: 8/ate, since she almost got ate. 8, one of the cylons from Battle Star Gallactica, she could have a nickname of Boomer, Athena or Sharon.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 16 points 3 weeks ago

Why am I drawn to this so much? Like if she ever got a haircut for medical reasons, it's perfect. Also being a 6'6 ~270lbs super ally, I love subverting cultural normative expectations.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Ok my first suggestion got shot down. Here's my next best (serious) suggestion.

Weaver.

edit: yes I went with that on purpose instead of Ripley because I have too many friends that named their animals Ripley.

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If we're going with an Aliens vibe, why not choose Newt? Small, disheveled, survivor type...?

Another excellent suggestion.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 3 weeks ago

Glad I checked the thread a few minutes after my last comment. I think it's up between newt&randy.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm confused and just asking. Is this an aliens reference when Ripley took over a loader to fuck up the queen alien in number two?

Sorry I'm on mobile (boost) and can't see a good resolution image.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, Ripley being the ultimate survivor (until she wasn't, spoiler alert), but I know so many people that named their pet Ripley I felt Weaver was a better choice.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago

No worries homie! She will definitely be not named Ripley. Although "black goo" ain't out the question with how she is acting like Velcro with my ear.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

My wife suggests "Kittenkind".

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Her name on paper is "Angel Furryosa Kittenkind "

White Blaze (Byakuen), the white tiger from Ronin Warriors (might be a little before your time)

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol, you see the size of my ear‽ I was watching DBZ before freeza on network TV before non-wwe/wwf wrestling.

I'm going to be boring and just say "Survivor".

Not just because she is one, because obviously she is, but because around the time of her ordeal(?), 7-9-ish hours ago, Parg's "Survivor" was making it through Eurovision's 2nd semifinal.

I'm just shooting out something while drunk. But I heard a song by the lead singer of "the gaslight anthem" called "color me black" recently and because of my nature to go against anything, it's speaking to me.

Any feedback is appreciated and welcome based on that, or any other suggestion.
