If you got a new pet tomorrow, what would you name it, and where would the name come from?

A natural way to answer

I think I'd choose a name from a book I love. A name with a bit of meaning behind it feels more personal than just picking something random.

Key phrases to use

  • go with my gut — make a decision based on instinct rather than careful thinking“I couldn't decide, so I went with my gut.”
  • rolls off the tongue — is easy and pleasant to say“It's a name that just rolls off the tongue.”
  • lives up to — is as good as, or matches, what was expected or promised“The film lived up to the hype.”
