Meaning & Story
After Dr. John Zoidberg, the lobster-like alien from Futurama.
Zoidberg is a name with serious geek cred — pulled from Futurama, where Dr. Zoidberg is the lovable, hapless alien doctor. The name is funny, unique, and full of personality. Zoidberg suits a quirky, lovable male pet with a knack for getting into harmless trouble and somehow always landing on his feet. He's probably the household's comic relief, the one whose mishaps become legend. Hapless, charming, and totally beloved.
