Thunder

Thunder takes its name from the powerful natural phenomenon — the Old English thunor, connected to the Norse god Thor and ultimately a Proto-Germanic root meaning to resound. Thunder has been a force of awe and power across human history: the sound of the sky itself making its presence known, impossible to ignore and impossible to forget. As a pet name, Thunder is for the companion who makes an impression, whose arrival is never unannounced.

Thunder is a name for a companion who does not go unnoticed — there is nothing quiet or understated about it. Pets named Thunder tend to match the energy of their name: powerful, present, and making their existence known in a way that fills whatever space they are in. The name works magnificently for a large, powerful companion, but there is also something delightful about a small pet named Thunder who turns out to have the personality to back it up entirely. Bold, resonant, and completely impossible to ignore — just like the real thing.
