Remember!

Consider your pet's personality: Is your pup a playful goofball like Dug from Up, or a regal leader like Simba? Choose a name that reflects their unique character.
Think about length and ease of use: Long names can be cumbersome, especially for training. Opt for something clear and easy to pronounce.
Embrace the fandom (or keep it subtle): If you're a die-hard Trekkie, boldly go with a name like Spock. Want a more subtle nod? Choose Leia or Rey for a Star Wars fan.
Ultimately, the best pop-culture-inspired pet name is the one that brings you joy! So get creative, have fun, and let your fandom flag fly (or purr).
