Your donkey can perform a decorative function or be an irreplaceable assistant in the household. Regardless of the purpose, it does not hurt to choose a suitable name for your pet.
Instructions
Step 1
The simplest solution is to look among human names. But even choosing the rarest and most exotic options, there is always a chance to meet your pet's bipedal namesake. Who may well consider it an insult. Of course, you can then explain for a long time that the donkey is the favorite of the whole family, has a wonderful character. And in general, this noble beast is the national symbol of Catalonia, Croatia and flaunts on the unofficial coat of arms of the US Democratic Party. You can still embarrass yourself and inflict an undeserved offense on someone else.
Step 2
The donkey can be named after these national symbols - Democrat, Catalan or Croatian.
Step 3
A tempting option is to name the donkey after its famous ancestors. Among the most famous are the donkey on which Jesus rode into Jerusalem, Valaam's donkey, the character of the fairy tale "The Musicians of Bremen", the wayward pet of Khoja Nasreddin. But, alas, history has not preserved their names. So, most likely, you will have to choose between Eeyore from the books about Winnie the Pooh and Sancho Panza's donkey named Gray.
Step 4
The original names can be found by referring to mythology. In many ancient cultures, the donkey is a sacred animal. The ancient Egyptians associated the god of chaos Set with the image of a donkey. In the guise of a donkey, the Babylonian god Ninib was represented. In ancient Greek mythology, Apollo rewards King Midas with donkey ears in revenge.
Step 5
Donkeys have also inspired representatives of creative professions. His images are in the paintings of William Blake, Francisco Goya, Giovanni Bellini, in Aesop's fables, etc. To name the long-eared after Goya or Aesop is very original.
Step 6
The nickname may well reflect the character and habits of the donkey, its external features, as well as the interests and habits of the owner. Sometimes it is possible to choose very non-trivial names based on puns. For example "Frog" (from the word "kick") or "Briquette" (because it kicks).
