Introduction
A Series Of Unfortunate Events is a delightfully gothic collection of books written by author Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler). The series was adapted into a movie, a video game and a series. It follows the life of three orphans as they try to escape their evil guardian who just wants to steal their fortune. It is darkly humorous and written in a very clever style. Although the books were aimed at children, it managed to gather a large adult fan base. Besides being utterly delightful, it also has the potential to help you find a wonderful name for your dog.
A Series Of Unfortunate Events Dog Names in Pop Culture
All throughout the series, we watch three amazing children suffer terrible and absurd situations. It is very entertaining, and we root for them all the way. But you cannot help but hope that the three of them will be adopted by loving parents who will give them the love and care that they so richly deserve. There are several prospective parents throughout the book, but the happy ending is as elusive as the author. You can’t help but lament at how cruel their world is, and for some reason, the books make you want to adopt three adorable orphans.
As a dog owner, this series reminds you of another sad fact. Right now, out in the world, there are millions of puppies who deserve a good home. Like the three Baudelaire orphans, they are extraordinary and just looking for loving parents. Watching the series makes you want to adopt all of them, which is why choosing a name from the series is so apt. The best example of this comes from Neil Patrick Harris. Harris portrays Count Olaf in the Netflix Original series. Out of all the portrayals, his is the most sinister. True, the video game Count is scary, but Harris’ portrayal is downright chilling at times. He balances this with dry humor and wit, but you cannot escape the fact this his portrayal is very frightening. He does it so masterfully that at times you forget that he is a normal human being under all that. If you doubt this, all you need to know is that he is a dog lover.
Fourteen months ago, Neil and his family adopted an adorable little rescue dog. Ever since then, little Gidget has been featured in various family social media posts. This means that all of Harris’ twenty-seven million Twitter followers are treated to pictures of the puppy on a regular basis. When celebrities adopt rescue dogs it sends a positive message to the whole world. It shows that these dogs should not be forgotten. They deserve a warm home far away from the Count Olafs of this world.
Gidget got a happy ending with Neil, his husband, and their two children. She was brought all the way from the streets of Thailand before being adopted by them. She is a positive example for all rescue dogs out there- maybe one day they will all be adopted by famous people.
A Series Of Unfortunate Events Dog Name Considerations
What makes A Series Of Unfortunate Events so successful? Is it the dark comedy or the clever quips? Everyone has their own favorite aspect of the series, and it appeals to an international audience. It is easy to understand without dumbing anything down. It manages to take dark and twisted events and turn them into a delightful journey. It is a sad fact that too many have the gift of turning a positive into a negative. Few people have the gift of turning a negative into a positive, and fewer still, can turn a negative into a comedy. It is never insensitive and does not take away the pain of grief. Instead, it helps the readers and the Baudelaire children work through their grief without side-stepping the issue. Such a unique series is a hotbed for whimsical names with strange meanings, that only fans of the show will understand. The names we put on this list are all linked to the series in one way or another. Some are more obvious, like Count Olaf’s disguises. While others are subtler, like references to the VFD. You are sure to find the worst name imaginable on this list. Doesn’t that sound perfect?
