ARCHIE + IMOGENE
Fans of Amazon Prime’s Emmy winning original series, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, will recognize Archie and Imogene Cleary!
ASH + VERVAIN
According to Teen Wolf, Druids use Mountain Ash to block and exhibit control over werewolves. While in the Vampire Diaries, vervain is a potent herb and a vampire’s most well-known weakness.
CHEVY + SAL
The Chevalier Tialys and the Lady Salmakia are Gallivespian spies in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series. Shortening these down to Chevy and Sal make a great combo for a duo of pups.
CRIMSON + CLOVER
“Crimson and Clover” is a 1968 song by American rock band Tommy James and the Shondells, and is known for being change in direction of the group’s sound and composition. “I’m amazed at how long this music has remained relevant,” Says James. “I consider myself to be incredibly blessed.”
CUTHBERT + BLYTHE
Who among us doesn’t want to bring Anne Shirley Cuthbert and Gilbert Blythe together?
LILITH + CROWLEY
The perfect names for two vexatious little devils.
FLINT + BONES
The classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel Treasure Island is a pirate adventure centering around Captain Flint and his notorious crew.
HILTS + MCQUEEN
Looking for something with a little attitude? Consider this last name mashup between Steve McQueen and his character Virgil Hilts in the 1963 war film, The Great Escape—a firsthand account of the mass escape by British prisoners of war from a German POW camp.
INGALLS + WILDER
Little House on the Prairie fans will recognize the surnames of our beloved Laura Ingalls Wilder.
HUMPHREY + BOGART
Classic Hollywood actor, cultural icon and a first and last name that are solid on their own and are perfect for any pet duo!
MALACHI + ISAAC
Based on Stephen King’s short story, Children of the Corn (1977), about a cult of wicked children who kill their parents and rule over their small town—Malachi and Isaac, the antagonists, have names worthy of two bonded pets.
ME + JULIO
A niche choice for Paul Simon fans, Me and Julio Down by the School Yard is about two boys who have somehow broken the law. A perfect pair of names to bestow on a trouble-making pet duo.
MICKEY + SYLVIA
Come here, lover boy! Need more convincing than that? Mickey Baker and Sylvia Robinson are best known for their R&B single, “Love is Strange.” Mickey and Sylvia are a perfect bonded pet partnership.
PILGRIM + TROUT
Another niche choice, this time for fans of Kurt Vonnegut. Most famous for his darkly satirical, best-selling novel Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) that drew inspiration from his internment in Dresden and survival of the Allied bombing of the city.
RED + ANENOME
While Aphrodite was crying, Adonis shed blood on the anemones that came from her tears and stained them red.
SCALES + ARPEGGIO
Do mi do mi do so mi do every truly cultured music student knows that you couldn’t be more faithful to your daily practicing than by naming a bonded pair of reptiles after your scales and arpeggio’s.
STOIC + FURY
You may recognize this pair from the How to Train Your Dragon series as Stoick the Vast and the Night Fury Toothless.
