Animal Welfare Professionals

I am curious if anyone has any names they like to use for their animals? Are there some names that just seem to do well? Maybe they bring good luck (ie you have a long stay dog, change his name, and bam! he's adopted!) Are there any names that just really resonate with potential adopters? What are you favorite names to use?

P.S. we might use your answers for a future blog post for Chew on This :)

When I went to a social media class they said to name things after popular/new movies or things with popular/trending hashtags.  

For the longest time, any cat we named "Colonel Mustard" was reclaimed by their owner.

Other than that, I just keep a running list of names that I randomly think of on my phone using Google Keep. We use pun names (Catalie Portman, Cindy Clawford [she had bikini markings], Purrsephone, etc.), pop-culture names (Superheroes, TV and characters, video game characters), Food names (berries, breakfast foods like pancake and waffle, pasta names, candy names), names from books (my favorite is probably Tom Bombadil), and we've also used the names of famous people broken up over multiple animals (usually for kittens, ex: Wolfgang, Amadeus, and Mozart).
