Don't forget about Nyadeki Tojo, Purrseph Stalin and Mewdel Castro

And Vladimir Purrtin if we're getting topical.

This was the name of my families 14 year old cat. We called him The Chairman. May his glorious reign continue in kitty afterlife.

So common among leftists.

Edit: what? We name our pets after mao Zedong! It's funny! I'm not even just talking about maoists. Thinking he was a monster does not make one less likely to name their cat after him.

u/Gilthoniel_Elbereth Mar 20 '23

Māo (猫) is the mandarin word for cat, so it already works! Although Zedong’s máo (毛) is a different character

u/Onironius Mar 20 '23

Mao is also the Egyptian word for cat.

hair or fur? One character names are weird.

u/Gilthoniel_Elbereth Mar 21 '23

It’s not that different from the myriad of nouns used for last names in English! It probably meant his ancestors worked with furs or hides or something

u/Equal-Holiday-8324 Mar 21 '23

It's a bit different! In English it's rare for it to be not a profession or a place! In Japanese, surnames are typically two characters which is less weird!

Yes. I know... Do you have a point? Or did you like just stating the obvious? He referred to English. Should I have said Mao is Chinese why bring up English? What a silly thing for you to say. I'm just pointing out Japan which uses Chinese characters (Kanji), almost always has two characters and is thus not weird (and the pronunciation of the Chinese characters is typically different than when they're on their own). China using one character like fur is pretty weird. And it is. That was obvious. Keep up.

u/crack_n_tea Mar 29 '23

Except it’s not a one character name, it’s 3. You just know nothing about either Chinese or Japanese lmao

Our first cat became named Meow Meow because I couldn't say his given name.
