Meaning & Story
Named after Wario, Nintendo's greedy anti-hero villain — a name that celebrates a pet's gloriously selfish, food-motivated, mischievous personality.
Wario is the delightfully self-aware choice for a pet who is, let's be honest, entirely motivated by food and personal gain. Nintendo's blustering, greedy anti-hero has been entertaining gamers since the 1990s with his shameless selfishness and total disregard for the rules — which, when applied to a dog, is actually very relatable. Pets named Wario are probably the ones stealing snacks, claiming all the best sleeping spots, and refusing to share toys. The name is funny, affectionate, and shows an owner who loves their pet's less angelic qualities just as much as the rest.
