Every kind hearted human in need of a fourlegged companion should get themselves a pet, and the includes the nerds of this world! A pet's name is more than just something you shout at them to make them listen to you. No. It's something epic. Something emotional. Something that bonds the pet with their human. That's why when a nerd gets a dog or cat, then you better believe that pet is now going to get the name of their favorite character from their nerdiest fandom. We've got comic book characters, superheros, anime characters, Star Wars—you name it! Nerdy pet names rule. TikTokers are sharing their nerdiest adorkable pet names and it's epic.
