What are some common (and uncommon) pet names that you can find in the Scandinavian and Nordic countries? I ask this because there are a lot of English-borrowed words in Scandinavian languages, and because I tend to find that Norse Gods and Goddesses are one of the most common pet names in English-speaking countries and I'm curious if it's the reverse in Scandinavian countries. I work at a vet clinic, and the amount of times I've seen a pet come in named "Loki", "Thor", "Odin", or "Frigga" is insane. And it's almost ALWAYS a tiny yapper dog named this like a Dachshund or a Terrier. Do Scandinavians name their pets "Jesus", "Lucifer", "Cain", or "Adam"/"Eve"?

There are also a lot of what I call "no-name" pet names in English-speaking countries, which are names that I find lazy, meaningless, or have a literal translation. An example of this is a dog named "Fido". Fido already means dog. Another example is "Baby", or "Sweetie", or "Jewel", or any other name variation that tries to say how sweet and nice and pretty a pet is. I've seen both dogs and cats being named this, and it's often done by middle-aged snobs. People will also name their pets after food such as "Cupcake", or "Cookie", or "Brownie". People will give their pets human English names too like "Maisie", or "Theodore", or "Jackie", or "Max", or "Bella". Another common name trait is quote-unquote foreign names (often random Japanese words, but almost any Asian language will do) like "Shintu", or "Astro", or "Nami", or "Niyama". Uncommon pet names consist of naming the pet after another animal such as "Tiger", or "Bear", or "Falcon", or "Phoenix". Another uncommon theme is naming pets after movie/video game characters.

So, what do Scandinavians name their pets? What is a typical name you would hear when someone refers to their cat or dog? What about unusual and unique pet names? Is there a theme that Scandinavians tend to gravitate to (like food-based names, or nature-based names)? I swear, if someone tells me that "Jesus" or "Lucifer" is one of the most common pet names in Scandinavia, I will lose my shit.
