When it appears in the house little kitten, all family members have an interesting task - to come up with a name for the pet. As you know, animals are our little brothers, which means that a new little younger brother (or sister) cannot do without a name. A nickname is as important for cats as a name is for a person; the fate of an animal can depend on the proper selection of a name.
At the owners' place purebred cats the possibilities in choosing a name are partially limited, because when buying an animal his passport is issued, which indicates his nickname, reflecting the name of the club or nursery, the names of the parents or other factors. It is problematic to call an animal at home with such a long name, so it is shortened to shorter derivative forms. The pet itself will not remember the original form of the name, and the owner will very quickly get tired of calling the animal in this way.
When choosing a nickname for a pet or darling, it is necessary to select a word consisting of two or three syllables, so that it is easier for the cat to remember it, and containing hissing sounds, in particular - sounds "s" and "k". Cats react very sensitively to them; it is no coincidence that all of them, regardless of nicknames, respond to “kitty-kitty.” In general, felines respond best to a name consisting of two or three syllables. Experts say that cats generally perceive only the first three sounds; they do not distinguish the rest and practically do not understand them. If these sounds include hissing consonants, the animal will quickly remember its name and learn to respond to it.
Meaning cat's name will depend entirely on the owner’s imagination.
How names are chosen for cats
Most often names for cats and cats are selected as follows:
There are frequent cases when owners call cats or cats in honor of political figures, sports, movie, pop or other stars famous people. For example, cats can be called Chernomyrdin, Obama, Barack, Messi. Cats are called Madonna, J.Lo, Monroe, Mata Hari and other similar names.
They often come up with very unusual names for cats and cats, in such cases the meaning of the nickname is clear only to the owners of the animal - Sorcha, Musha, Shusha, Mumunya, Nola, etc.
There are often cases when names for female cats are derived from the names of male cats. This happens when the owners believe that they have a male kitten and give it an appropriate nickname, but after a while it turns out that it is a female kitten. These include the options Pushok - Pushka, Simak - Simka, Bely - Belka and the like.
Cats and cats can call by human names: Vaska, Vanka, Marusya, Lizka, Alexandra, Valeria, Yana, Yulia, Alina, etc. Names can be both domestic and foreign: Angelica, Vanessa, Leila, Veronica, Arabella, Angelina, Vanessa, Virginia, Justina, Juliet, Ginger, Jessica, Isabella, Maryana, Mirabelle, etc.
Meet beautiful names for cats and cats, formed from purring cat sounds: Purr, Murzik, Murchena, Murka, Murzilka, Murlyasha, Murcheta, Muranya, Murkisya, Purrsya, Mura, Murashka, Meowka, Murlin Murlo, Mur-Murochka, Murmyshka, Myavochka, etc. d.
Human imagination is limitless, as a result of which representatives of the cat family can be awarded funny and funny nicknames. Such options are known as Belyash, Servelat, Dog, Zaliposha, Barbatsutsa, Bormotukha, Mitten, Pendosa, Clothespin, Star Dust, Washer, Saucepan, Meat Grinder, Chekushka, Coconut, Bazooka, Pipette, Accident, Sandal, Chunga-Changa and the like.
It happens that animals get nicknames in honor of gods or heroes from ancient Greek, ancient Egyptian and other mythologies. These are Hector, Hercules, Athena, Zeus, Hera, Gilgamesh, Valkyrie, Nefertiti, Nymph, Shulamith, Aphrodite.
When choosing a name for your pet or pet you can focus on the breed.
If you want to give your cat a nickname with meaning, then for this purpose Japanese words work well. So, if an animal was born in the spring, you can name it Haruko, which means “spring child” or Haru - “spring”. A cat born in autumn can be called Akiko - “ autumn child" cat white color can be called Yuki ("snow"), and the black color is Miyako (" night child"). You can also name the animal Takara (“treasure”), Aiko (“beloved”), Shinju (“pearl”), Masuru (“victory”), or choose another nice-sounding Japanese word with a good meaning.
Thus, the choice of a name for a cat depends entirely on the desire and imagination of the owner. You can trust other owners and take an existing beautiful or funny name, or you can independently come up with a unique name that only his animal will have.
For most of us, childhood is still associated with the heroes of these cartoons... Only the insidious censorship and the imagination of translators have greatly distorted their real names. Maybe it's for the better?..
"DuckTales"
1. Shrine. The first Disney series for many... So, Billy, Willie and Dilly turn out to be Huey, Dewey and Lewey.
2. Zigzag McCquack, an air eagle in the form of a duck, was indeed McCquack, but in the original he was called Launchpad McQuack. And how could it be adequately translated? McCrack launch pad?
3. Ponochka (what a strange name!) initially seemed suspicious. And it’s true, she’s not Ponochka, but Webbigail “Webby” Vanderquack - Webbigail “Webby” Vanderquack. They say webby is something like “webby.”
4. Mrs. is hiding under the mask of the pretty Mrs. Klyuvdia. Bentina Beakley - Bentina Beakley (derived from beak - “beak”).
6. Let’s finish with the Gavs brothers, who are no strangers to hiding their true names. Overseas, this gang is known as The Beagle Boys - an obvious reference to the Beagle dog breed.
"Chip and Dale to the Rescue"
7. It seems that this was the second most important series of those times. Behind the euphonious and neutral “Rescuers” were hidden Rescue Rangers, that is, rangers, and this already sounds much more sinister!
8. Gadget, the sexiest mouse in the world, who left unhealed scars in the souls of many boys, was officially called Gadget Hackwrench. It’s hard to imagine how it would sound in Russian... The Hack-Key Thing?..
9. What about Rocky? Face it - he's not Rocky and never was. He is - drum roll - Monterey Jack! The reason is that Monterey Jack cheese was not popular in our stores. But everyone knew about Roquefort cheese.
10. Zipper is Zipper, Zipper.
11. Tolstopuz the cat, the main antagonist of the series, was luckier - he became Tolstopuz from Fat Cat, which, you see, is not very offensive.
"Miracles on bends"
12. Ball was lucky, but the Kit Windrunner known to us, a cheerful but responsible air hooligan, actually bore the name Kit Cloudkicker, that is, Kit... ahem... Cloudkicker?
13. Screwtape, the permanent flight engineer of the Dive and part-time mad inventor, was called in English a little insipidly and strangely - Wildcat, Wild Cat.
"Black Cloak"
14. First of all, Che-Pe himself got it. Darkwing Duck is his name in the original, however, the children who were the proud owners of an 8-bit game console and the game of the same name were aware of this. His trademark cry “From the screw!” has also undergone adaptation. Authentic Chae-Bae proclaimed: “Let’s get dangerous!” - which can be translated as “Let's make it dangerous!” or something like that.
Veiled eyes, pornographic forms and clothes that no honest girl in the real world would wear on the street: these painted chicks know how to please men. We're talking about cartoon heroines - from ingenues to femme fatales. Uncle Fyodor's short-sighted mother, the fighting Gadget, the ridiculous Marge Simpson and the fire-haired Jessica Rabbit: the editors of BigPicchi have compiled their own rating of the sexiest heroines of famous animated films.
18. Mother of Uncle Fyodor, the main character of the cartoons “Winter in”, “Holidays in Prostokvashino” and “. Mom's name is Rimma, she sings at the Blue Light, skis, wears square glasses, fitted suits and a dutik - in the forest. Her breasts, as Internet users correctly noted, change their size in the frame - from five, when mom goes to a resort in the summer, to zero - when she comes to Prostokvashino in winter.
17. Luann Platter - the heroine of the animated series “King of the Hill.” This saga about a family of Methodist Texans aired on American TV from 1997 to 2010. The heroine's name is derived from the name of one of the dishes in the Luby's cafeteria - Lu Ann Platter, or “Lu Ann's plate.”
16. Betty Boop is the main character of American short black and white cartoons of the 30s. Betty was based on singer and vaudeville actress Helen Kane. Betty is the first cartoon character main feature which was overt sexuality. However, in 1934, the so-called Hays Code came into force in the States - a set of rules about what cannot be shown in films, as a result of which Betty's skirts became longer and her neckline disappeared completely. Betty's image faded - and with it, the audience's interest faded.
15. Princess from the legendary cartoon (actually a rock opera) " Bremen Town Musicians" The capricious and headstrong Princess with a model appearance won not only the heart of the Troubadour, but also his entire gang. The cartoon was released in 1969 - the same year the legendary Woodstock rock festival took place in the West, from which the sexual revolution began. Long-haired hippies appeared on our screens under the guise of a Troubadour and a Princess: he in bell-bottoms, she in a mini.
14. Francine Smith from American Dad. Typical American housewife. Her parents left her because they didn't want her because small child fly second class. Maybe that’s why the girl started her first romance at the age of 14 with an algebra teacher. Francine has a rich biography and has her own “sex garden” - each rose bush corresponds to one of her former lovers.
13. Lois Griffin from Family Guy, also an American housewife and, as they write on these Internets, a pretty little Jew. Lois loves children, her husband and household chores, which does not stop her from being sexy.
12. Vasilisa Mikulishna from the Soviet cartoon of the same name. The wife of a Chernigov boyar. As the play progresses, she cuts off her braids, changes into a Tatar dress and sets off to save her husband. In general, as is our custom, into a burning hut and a galloping horse.
11. Turanga Leela from the cult cartoon “Futurama”. In Sanskrit the name means "song of love." Leela has purple hair and a single eye, but she is an excellent kicker - somewhat similar to Mel C from the Spice Girls. Lila dreams of a prince, but she is not very lucky in love.
10. Ariel from the cartoon "The Little Mermaid". The same data as the rest of the Disney princesses. Features: Red hair, bikini and fishtail. Ariel is sixteen, and her story bears little resemblance to the one told in the tragic fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. Ariel's prototype, as Wikipedia writes, was actress Alyssa Milano, who was also only sixteen at the time of the film's creation.
9. The languid and high-cheeked daughter of an Indian chief is Pocahontas from the Disney cartoon of the same name. In the story, Pocahontas falls in love with a pale man. Interestingly, the story of the cartoon Indian woman is based on real events. The real Pocahontas received the name Rebecca at baptism (the Englishman John Rolfe did not want to marry a pagan), and she and her husband left for England, where she died at the age of twenty-two, presumably from smallpox. End of story.
8. Another girl from a Soviet cartoon is a mermaid from “In the Blue Sea, in White Foam,” a musical fantasy based on Armenian fairy tales. I remember the gorgeous singing and big mouth- back when it was not fashionable! Well, with a fish instead of a head, yes.
7. Marge Simpson from the TV series "". The wife of the unlucky Homer Simpson has a high blue hairstyle and a pistachio-colored dress without straps. Marge is another housewife on our list: she's a great cook, goes to church, and fears nothing more than never becoming a grandmother. But in one of the episodes Marge admits that she has intimate place There is a tattoo with my husband's name. This is cute.
6. Another hairy-eyed Disney beauty, Jasmine from the Aladdin cartoon, has all the right traits - seductive thin waist, high breasts, voluminous hair. The Sultan's daughter finds happiness with a Baghdad thief.
5. Fairy Tinker Bell from the Disney cartoon about Peter Pan - a boy who did not want to grow up (Tinker Bell herself has all the signs of puberty). The prototype of Tinker Bell was the “girl from magazine covers”, actress Margaret Kerry. Tinkerbell is very jealous of Peter and Wendy, and “Peter Pan” is the only full-length Disney cartoon where there is a motive of female jealousy.
4. April O'Neil - cartoon character about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, best friend turtles. She is very seductive, although she always wears the same yellow jumpsuit. Unlike many on the list, it really resembles a real girl - girl next door.
3. Gadget from the animated series “Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers.” Gadget is an anthropomorphic mouse-inventor, but by no means gray mouse. Chipmunks Chip and Dale are crazy about Gadget, but they can’t court her in a decent way - neither of them intends to give in. Interestingly, in the original the name of the mouse sounds like Gadget Hackwrench - “Gadget Spanner for hacking,” but when the cartoon was translated into Russian, the word “gadget” did not yet exist in our language.
2. Bunny girl Lola Bunny from the Warner Bros. cartoon universe, Bugs Bunny's friend. Lola is a real doll, but she can’t stand it when she is reminded of this, and says: “Don’t call me a doll!” (in Russian translation the phrase sounds like “don’t call me baby!”). Bugs often breaks the ban to specifically piss Lola off. Lola is a pizza delivery girl, would you like to accept Saturday pizza and beer from this girl's hands?
1. Femme fatale Jessica Rabbit is a character in the Roger Rabbit universe, where cartoon characters and people coexist with each other. Most famous film with the participation of Jessica - “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” (in Russia the film is not recommended for persons under 18 years of age). The animators based the gorgeous Jessica on Hollywood actresses Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Lauren Bacall and Veronica Lake. There is also an opinion that Jessica Rabbit is Lewis Carroll's grown-up Alice. Jessica's dress - with an open back and a slit up to her butt - was "borrowed" from a 50s model nicknamed Spina, and actress Kathleen Turner voiced Roger Rabbit's wife. Jessica Rabbit is outrageous, full of sex and achieves success using her sex appeal, but at the same time she is simply a loyal, brave, kind and overall extremely nice girl.
Illustration.
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 highlight your pet's individuality. 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.
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.” As pet It is unlikely that anyone will own a lion, 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 tender name Bambi in honor of the cartoon deer. And for snow-white kittens, puppies, calves, they choose the name Umka - a little 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 “Thunder the Cat and the Enchanted House” the main characters– cat Grom, red color, chihuahua dog Charlie, Mini the mouse and Jack the rabbit. And in The Secret Life of Pets - the hamster Norman, the parrot Pea, the cat Chloe, the dogs Gidget, Maximilian, Duke and Leonard.
Dogs often receive “star” names in honor of on-screen characters: Beethoven – a huge Serbernard from the film of the same name, “the most mischievous and naughty dog on Earth” Marley from “Marley and Me”, the smart and devoted Jack Russell terrier Milo from “The Mask”, Sharik from “Four Tank Men and a Dog.” Owners of German shepherds do not hesitate to call their pets like the hero of the series “Commissioner Rex” - smart German Shepherd, serving in the police department and helping to catch dangerous criminals. Domestic analogue Rexa is the movie character Mukhtar: a shepherd dog, selfless, ready to sacrifice his life for the sake of his owner. And, of course, “the most faithful and devoted dog in the world” is the famous Hachiko of the Akita Inu breed from “Hachiko”.
Book heroes
Animal names from books often inspire your choice a suitable name for a pet: after reading, owners no longer have any doubts about what to name their pet.
Mikhail Bulgakov made popular the nicknames Behemoth for large black cats (“Master and Margarita”) and Sharik for dogs of the mongrel breed (“Mongrel”). Heart of a Dog"). Small dogs are called Totoshka in honor of the hero of Alexander Volkov’s book “The Wizard of the Emerald City.” Despite the sad fate of the dog Mumu from the story of Ivan Turgenev, some owners give their pets this name. Dog names from books are also often used: Bim (“White Bim, black ear"G. Troepolsky), Moska ("Elephant and Moska" by I. Krylov), Pilot ("Jane Eyre", Charlotte Bronte). We can’t forget about the red dog – a cross between a dachshund and a mongrel – named Kashtanka. The heroine of A.P. Chekhov's story, having lost her owners, ends up in the circus, but does not have time to make a career, as she accidentally finds her owners.
Fairy tale characters
In real life, animal names from fairy tales are often used. Smart, sedate cats are given the simple name Murr by their owners, fans of the work of E. T. A. Hoffmann, which he came up with for a character in the fairy tale “Biographies of the Cat Murr.” Main character works can write, read, speak, knows foreign languages, it is he who is the author of his own biography. The prototype of the image was the storyteller’s own cat, whom he considered “profound and wise.”
Another famous “fairytale” cat is the insidious Bayun from Russian fairy tales. The name Bayun is translated from ancient Slavic as talker, storyteller, soporific, and comes from the verb “bayat”, that is, to tell. The nickname is quite consistent with the character of the cannibal monster, who, telling tales in a charming voice, lured people, put them to sleep and killed them. However, many owners call their cats this because of their melodic, soothing purring.
Domestic chickens are sometimes called Ryaba - in honor of the famous Ryaba Hen from the fairy tale of the same name, who can lay golden eggs. Other famous fairy tale made popular about Turnip dog name The bug, the same one that helped pull out the turnip.
Nicknames from books and cartoons, movies and fairy tales are a great option for choosing a name for your pet. In the works you can find a lot of interesting ideas for sonorous names that suit the animal’s temperament, characteristics, appearance or fate. In addition, the search process - watching a touching film or reading a fascinating book - will give pleasant emotions to the owners.
