I just noticed-

Who names their dog "dog.." 😭

(Kutta means dog in Hindi for non Hindi speakers)

Lmfaoo
I just noticed as well

BH45602026-01-07 15:07

Where's the location? I want to see it by myself

veronica_bloomiris2026-01-07 15:19

Sumeru, port ormos. Since unfortunately I can't include an img in my reply in this sub, search "Salm Location in Sumeru" on google, it'll give the location

BH45602026-01-07 15:38

Thanks! I also once saw an advanced age man named Bhai

ashu07062026-01-07 20:09

I saw that and immediately thought of SALMAN KHAN😭😭

CHONPSCa2026-01-07 15:17

The cat named neko in inazuma: finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary

Cocoatrice2026-01-07 18:01

Actually Neko is not called cat, she is called sleeping child and is reference to some novel or something like that. The name is homophone for a cat, but doesn't mean cat. It's more like calling dog "dawg". Phonetically it's nearly identical, but it's just different word.

EDIT: Also using different language to call character something they are is quite popular. A dragon named Draco is perfect example of that.

CHONPSCa2026-01-07 18:07

The amount of references in genshin is crazy

michaelman902026-01-07 18:18

Video games in general. People who like to write also tend to like to read so they have a lot of material to reference. Same with people who make vs play video games.

Also references aside naming a cat something like (I presume) 寝子 is also a pun which may entertain people unfamiliar with the reference.

Cocoatrice2026-01-07 23:53

I mean, live action games tend to have more references than premium one time buy games, because they are simply larger. But a lot of games have references, tbh. Even single player AAA games.

Mendely_2026-01-07 19:54

It's like calling a cat Kat

AsthislainX2026-01-07 23:23

Maomao the cat

Pinky_Boy2026-01-07 19:57

don't forget yae miko

miko is her name, not her occupation. so technically you can call miko the miko

that always throws me off a bit

what42702026-01-07 20:46

It’s giving Nicole from Gumball. Her first name is Doctor because that’s the profession her parents want her to be.

Her current full name is Doctor Nicole Watterson

Isafox_drawing382026-01-07 21:59

Oh I didn’t know that! Must have been a stressful childhood for her…

what42702026-01-07 22:03

It does. Her parents are incredibly strict that they expect her to have straight As and even scold her for having an F on her GENDER. She eventually cut them off when the parents disapprove of Richard.

meowmeowwarrior2026-01-08 01:22

Lmao I didn't realise you could get an F on gender

what42702026-01-08 01:26

I don’t even know how they would react if Nicole was born a boy. Like, M on gender, is that a fail or not?? No one will know.

Cocoatrice2026-01-07 23:55

Yep. Tbh, Venti is also similar. Ventus means wind in Latin.

Nomad_Hermit2026-01-09 15:02

Vento in Portuguese. We call him Ventoinha (very small fans, like PC coolers, are called ventoinhas)

minkymy2026-01-08 02:16

I could've sworn that "Neko" written "Sleeping child" is a theoretical etymology for the origin of "Neko" as the word for "cat", and the reference is tied to a part of her quest chain and not her name specifically

ZhangRenWing2026-01-07 18:19

The jade betting merchant in Liyue is literally called Shitou or “stone”

KindredTrash4832026-01-07 21:58

Have you ever met Iron Ingot? That one's actually in English

RandomAussie1232026-01-08 09:55

Is he a big guy with a shovel?

RozalynFox2026-01-07 15:24

Ive met a cat named Cat. Some friends got ducks and their kid wanted to name one Ducky. It happens

Aromatic_Inspector892026-01-07 17:05

I personally find switching animal names fun. I had a "Lizard" the horse, "Oyster" the rabbit, and "Panda" the dog

_uwu_moe2026-01-07 17:42

Most of my childhood plushies have thoughtful names. Except for the oldest few just named something like bear and dog

Mikauren2026-01-07 18:01

My brother named his fish... FIsh. lmao

CuriousPenguin132026-01-08 06:52

my friend named his fish Fishfuck

fanonluke2026-01-07 20:03

A former roommate of mine had a male cat called Queen (as in female cat - which is much more obvious in my native language, since the word we use is much more exclusive to female cats lol).

RedVelvetJoy2026-01-07 22:16

I named one of my cats "Kucing" which is "cat" in my native language. She responds to that name, so I guess she approved.

Ok-Barracuda-40392026-01-08 01:44

Same, lol. I called my cats "Adik" sometimes, but they're very nonchalant so I would never know if they like it or not XD

Express-Bag-39352026-01-07 22:59

I have a cat named Kitty. But my mom calls her Mellow, so we went with her full name being Mellow Kitty.

OkExtension72892026-01-08 12:41

My son named his hen 'Daddy' because he loves dad so much. Daddy was kinda rebellious one and escaped often from the cage which led into hilarious discussions.

Everything happens.

CresDruma2026-01-07 15:45

To answer your question: At least one character in Good Omens

xtralongchilicheese2026-01-07 15:58

Another dog near Vimara Village has the name "Sag" which also means dog in Farsi.

herrscheroftheice2026-01-07 16:12

where the donkey named khar?

xtralongchilicheese2026-01-07 16:16

That is the nickname my dad gives me whenever I spend too much time on the PC x)

GHOST55232026-01-07 23:01

does he call you khar or korekhar?

isekai-chad2026-01-07 22:13

or Olagh.

Immediate-West-57072026-01-07 19:14

There also the blacksmith named ahangar which means blacksmith in farsi

TeaTimeLion1232026-01-07 19:36

There’s also a cat in Port Ormos called “Sisi” most likely named after a popular Arabic nursery rhyme about a cat (bisi) called Sisi

GHOST55232026-01-07 23:00

do you know what pedarsag means?

Shahadem2026-01-07 16:15

Salm: [Speaks Psychlo, Translated to Doggo] "Do you under... understand? Understand me?"

JalebiFafdaSupremacy2026-01-07 16:21

There's also a girl inside the city named Kumari. I think in the bazaar.

Ieatchildrenbiscuit2026-01-07 16:32

I call my cat « the cat »
Yeah really

veronica_bloomiris2026-01-07 16:47

Tbh, makes sense, my fish's name is "YuYu" (fish fish) 🤣🤣

qingskies2026-01-07 17:25

My friend has a cat named "Big Dog" (da gou)

CHONPSCa2026-01-07 18:14

Exaggeratedly zoom a camera on your cat's face while introducing it

hars5682026-01-07 16:40

When i first saw myself, i laughed a lot

ion4772026-01-07 16:57

We used to have a dog named Perro. 🤭

imbusthul2026-01-07 17:01

I mean we already have Samudra Sea, Festival Utsava to name a few.....

bejt682026-01-07 17:06

I had a teacher who named his dog dog (pronounced dee oh gee)

jonnevituwu2026-01-07 17:29

not his actual name but I would usually talk to my cat as "cat" and would rarely use his name lol

bro would scream for no reason and I was like "what is it, cat?"

micdia262026-01-07 17:31

Bimarstan is also there. Bimar means sick in Hindi. I saw shah rukh in sumeru reputation area as well.

Desperate_Yellow_4982026-01-07 17:50

I think the chief of the Corps of Thirty was called Rukh Shah...I think it's intentional, cuz it sounds like Raksha, meaning protection

micdia262026-01-08 00:32

Shah rukh is the biggest bollywood star.

isekai-chad2026-01-07 22:14

Hospital in Farsi is just Bimarestan.

InukoJon2026-01-07 17:37

Do you understammmmmdu!?

Nero_20012026-01-07 17:37

I befriended a stray cat that I named Kater which is just the German word for a male cat.

zatenael2026-01-07 17:38

never forget that Genshin is the game where you can eat your Bread bread while drinking Tea tea in your Palace of Palacepalace and hang out with your cat, Cat

FlameDragoon9332026-01-07 19:38

to be fair, this is common in real life too. Locals call thing in their language, foreigners mistook it for a name, and call the thing the 'thing thing'.

I got a friend im her 30s who named her snake snakey. She's usually super creative so I don't know what drove her.

Maniacal-Blueberry2026-01-07 17:56

When I was a kid, my dad named our dog "dog" and our cat "cat". Real creative there lmao. I wanted to name our dog "cat" and our cat "dog" but they said no :(.

NeonUnicorn972026-01-07 17:58

There are also so many balkan names and words. There's a girl named "Rijeka" which means "river" in croatia. Jahoda is strawberry in some slavic languages, tho in croatian it's jagoda, so close enough. And there's Ognjen, which is sraight up Yugoslavian name.

Cocoatrice2026-01-07 18:04

Kutta? Is it Kuutar's brother?

veronica_bloomiris2026-01-07 18:09

It's kuutar's soon to be friend/companion 😌

The-Iraqi-Guy2026-01-07 18:06

It's even funnier, Kutta is very close to the Arabic word for "cat" which is "Ketta"

neryben2026-01-07 18:12

When I was in elementary school, among the textbooks characters there were a dog called "Perrín" and a cat named "Gatín" (little dog and little cat, in Spanish).

Fabricati_Diem_Pvn2026-01-07 18:17

I've named my cat Descartes, pronounced "de-Kat", which in my native language means "the cat". So I guess that's me.

have_a_nice_day552026-01-07 18:36

Some times I call my cat mao or just xiao mao

veronica_bloomiris2026-01-07 18:40

OMGG, sameee, but it's actually my rabbit's name 🤣 (Xiao Mao)

BluHor1zon2026-01-07 19:44

It happens.

My family pet cat is called Neko (Cat in Japanese), my entire family just rolled with it because we couldn't think of a better name when we found her. We stuck to it ever since lol.

Time_Guide_50402026-01-07 19:44

i have a pet turtle that i named him by removing the the last letter in the word turtle in my language like for English is like turt

overFuckMaker2026-01-07 19:50

it also sounds like cat in arabic, that would’ve been funny

TemporaryPool61502026-01-07 19:55

Kutta means dog in bengal too 😭

TemporaryPool61502026-01-07 19:57

Also, unlike neko or other animal's local names... "Kutta" is used as a curse word 😭

Detective_Mint862026-01-07 20:22

There's a chef called "Ashpazi" is Sumeru which literally translates to "Cooking"

Relevant if game was made in a Hindi region.

Not when made anywhere else.

There are a plethora of “this world means X in another language” and has been since time immemorial

I have a cat named Cat. When I got her the previous people said they called her Rosie but I found out if you just call her Cat she will listen to what you say a lot. "Cat you're being annoying can you leave my room?" My cat will get off the bed and walk out it's really weird that she does but I'm very happy about it.
