Finding the right wacky pet name is a quest, sometimes complete with space wizards and goblins and vortexes (not to mention the ancient heroes, such as 2024’s Wackiest Exotic Pet Name, Thor Odinbun God of Bunder). Bravely endeavoring upon that mighty journey is one wacky little nugget. Meet Nuggetron McFife.
“Well, Nugget is a Chihuahua, which qualifies him as a nugget,” says doggy dad and Nationwide pet insurance member William T., “and the ‘-tron’ part makes him sound fierce (which he thinks he is).” To further cement Nugget's shredding fierceness, William also included a nod to one of his favorite bands—British power metal group Gloryhammer—by adding the last name of its lead singer, Angus McFife.
On his quest, Nuggetron McFife meets many chilling opponents, then bests them on the field of battle. “He goes absolutely bananas over snowballs,” William says. Brave as he is, no wacky journey can be completed without a well-stocked inventory of armor and elixirs. For Nuggetron McFife, William opted for the most valuable talisman a chihua-warrior can carry: Nationwide pet insurance. “It was offered through work,” he says. “Plus, I care for my nugget-boy.”
