Okay, I think I'm better enough to answer now. You and the others here certainly are of great help. I've also been drawing and writing of my favorite things to help me feel better and I think it's working.
Fluffy: My human's mom named me cause she always wanted it as a cat's name. I personally think the name's for girl kitties.... <_<
Spazz: My human named me for the typical ferret behavior. I don't think she was disappointed.
Shoogy and Gliga: Our human's sister named us based on what we are. We don't mind, but we think she can be a bit more creative.
Fuz-Bal: My human's sister suggested the name Fuzz-Bucket, which my human turned to Fuzz-Ball, then misspelled it for a cuter name. I'm confused on how misspelling it would make it cuter, but I'll go along with it.
Boba: She named me after those sweet round things she loves so much. Though I myself never really tried it...
Terror: My human's mom named me, cuz I think she's scared of me. I think the name's misleading, but it's stuck now...
Monster: Same reason as Terror, but it doesn't bother me much.
Justin: My human's parents named me for reasons I have no idea of...
Fudge: After the chocolate syrup stuff. It was a spur-of-the-moment kind of name.
Rainbow: I wasn't a rainbow color at all, but she loved my coloration nonetheless and gave me the name. It makes me feel good, personally.
Morphius: My previous owner, who was my human's science teacher, named me after that Matrix movie. I never really understood, but I guess it's good to be named from the teacher's favorite movie. My human just decided to keep it although she's never seen the movie herself. But she does call me Morphy more often than my actual name.
Marble, Caramel, and Domino: Our human named all three of us for our coloration. We like the names as it almost always means 'treat time', so we always come when called.
The Buggies (Most are unnamed either cuz I couldn't tell them apart, or cuz I ran out of good, suiting ones; the ones listed here are those with the names or....'nicknames') :Tiger beetlesMigoto: She named me that cause of my beautiful patterns. I think it's suitable.
Jolt, Dart, Speedy, and Blur: She named us for our speed. Of which we are very proud of, so we are proud of those names.
Snail: Though mine's supposed to be ironic. It ticks me off.
MantidsAithne: My human's friend named me, and although my human doesn't actually know what it means, she thought it sounded pretty and exotic. So it stuck.
Twiggy: She basically named me for what I remind her of... <_<
Churro: She named me for the mexican baked good that she loves.
Samurai: She named me as an 'opposite' of ninja, which she frequently associates us mantids as.
Takeo: She named me for the japanese word of 'strong, valiant male'. I guess it's alright since it pretty much describes me.
Antlion: I don't have an actual name, but sometimes she does call me Sugar Bowl for my previous home, or Apep after her antlion OC. It's some egyptian demon thing... But, no, I don't have an official name
Assassin Bug: Don't have a name either, but her sister refers to me as 'The
Thing', emphasis included. My human playfully does the same thing sometimes. Either way, I take it as a compliment.
I just thought I'd post one on the off-chance that answering it would make you feel better in some way.
Surprisingly, it did make me feel better. Thanks.
