A pet black rabbit named Frank from Donnie Darko.
"So, I actually have a pet rabbit. He's a black rabbit. Uh, he's awesome. He's litter box trained. It's actually super easy to do that; anyone that wants a rabbit, just, I mean, literally, you can train them in a litter box. Um, my rabbit is called Frank, and he is from Donnie Darko, from the movie Donnie Darko. You know, Frank the Rabbit. And, uh, maybe he's evil, maybe not. I mean, you decide."

My cat's named after a liar named Peter.
"I had a cat named Peter, and this is how he got his name: In college, these two girls came and knocked on the door and they were like, "Hey, is Peter home?" And I'm like, "Peter doesn't live here." They kept insisting that Peter lived there; that was the address that Peter gave them. Peter wouldn't lie to them. Whatever else... It was like this fiasco, but obviously, Peter didn't live there. Well, that week my cat had kittens, and I had to name one of them Peter because obviously Peter lived there. Peter wouldn't lie to them! That's the address he gave them!"

Four dogs with fabulous names
"So, I have four pets, um, four dogs. Um, one of them is called Judy, and she's named after my great-great-grandaunt who I actually met while she was still alive. Then there's Florey, and she's named after an elderly woman that my grandparents and my mother took in because she was lonely and had nowhere to live. Um, then the other one is called Bobby, and my mom named him, and then lastly, her name is Gucci, and she lives up to her name. She's very fancy."

Bubbles is a fun fish name!
"Hello, meet Bubbles. This is my pet, Bubbles, and he's named that because he loves to play in the bubbles. So, say hello, Bubbles! Say hello. Um, very creative name. The kids can claim that word, genius. Oh, what a cutie."

Only black cats, and they're all named Noir.
"So, I have two cats, and I only named one of them. Their name is Noir. And for those who don't know, it's a French word for black. Um, it originally came from an anime called Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple. Then I had five cats when I was younger; they were all named Noir. Noir the Second, Noir the Third, Noir the Fifth, Noir Noir. And now, about 10 years later, we got a new black cat. And of course, I had to name her Noir because she has the same little adventurous face that all the Noirs before came with."

My cat Petunia
"My pet's name is Petunia. She was a shelter cat. And, so, that was the name that she came with. And we decided to keep it and call her Petunia or Tunia or even Tuna sometimes. She can be a bit of a menace, but we love her."

Old person names
"I have a cat, and his name is Ed, which is short for Edgar. Um, I've had pets in the past. All of them have had regular names. I mean, sort of offbeat, like, I've had Mumford who was the guinea pig and another cat named Dexter. Um, but I do...I like, I like, sort of old man, old lady names for pets. I'm sorry if I offended you. I like your name if it's like an old person name."

from the Washington Huskies' coach
"My husky DJ got his name from the legendary Washington Huskies' football coach, Don James. I was a radio DJ for a long time, so people always ask, "Oh did you name your dog DJ because you're a radio DJ?" And I have to explain, no, I was just a really big Washington Husky football fan at the time, so, Don James it was. DJ."

Cooper the dog named after a Mini Cooper she never got.
"I have an adorable 11-pound Yorkie that I named Cooper because I was convinced my next car would be a Mini Cooper, and now I drive a Jeep. So, he's the only Mini Cooper I have."

A dog named Boss
"My last pet's name was Boss. It was a dog. He was very, very pretty, and I did not even name him. My dad named him. I never changed the name, so, Boss it was."
