Butters

Butters is a warm, slightly silly name derived simply from the English word butter — the rich, golden spread made from churned cream. As a pet name it suggests everything soft, golden, and delicious: warmth, richness, and a certain irresistible quality that is hard to define but immediately felt. The name gained cultural familiarity through the gentle, sweet-natured character Butters on the animated series South Park, who despite constant misfortune maintains an unshakeable sunny disposition.

Butters is one of those names that is so soft and golden it practically glows. There is no toughness required here — this is a name for the companion who is pure comfort, the pet who always smells a little warm and seems permanently content. Companions named Butters tend to be the gentle, easygoing types who go along with everything cheerfully and hold absolutely no grudges. The name suits a golden, cream, or pale-colored companion perfectly, though truly any pet with that distinctive quality of being simply, unconditionally wonderful can wear it with pride.
