Coneheads Inspired Dog Names

Introduction

Let’s be honest. We’re sporfed, no, even flarged that you are here. And if you don’t understand that, you may need to brush up on your Remulakian. But seriously, outside of the occasionally confusing language barriers, Coneheads was still a hilarious movie, despite the scathing reviews it received. It was the third in the line of Saturday Night Live-spawned feature films, and while it didn’t find the success of its predecessors such as The Blues Brothers and Wayne’s World, it still holds a special place in the hearts of many, with a feeling, characters, and a seriously weird language all its own. So when you finally select your Coneheads-themed name, there should be little doubt in the minds of others that you and your dog are just as weird — which is a good thing.

Dug

Put into use since the late 1950s, the Elizabethan collar has been a useful tool for vets and pet owners alike for decades now.

For anyone unacquainted, the Elizabethan Collar or pet cone, is a wide-cast plastic cone that is placed over a pet’s head and secured to their collar with the intent of preventing them from either licking an injury or recent surgery, or ensuring that they won’t be able to scratch their head and face, which may have issues that will be exacerbated by being scratched by a paw.

While it has been in use for quite a while now, the age of the Internet has almost entirely changed its identity from a simple tool to a boon of entertainment. In recent years, it has expanded from being referred to as the lampshade and radar dish to the “cone of shame”, largely coined thanks to the embarrassed expressions that many pets, especially dogs, tend to make once the cone is fully equipped.

The sentiment was cemented for animals worldwide in 2009 when Pixar came out with it’s animated feature Up, which featured a dog named Dug who was forced to wear the cone of shame by a group of his peers. Upon donning the cone, Dug is quoted as saying “I do not like the cone of shame.” The quote quickly became an Internet sensation, as tons of dog owners took photographs of their own shamed canines and uploaded the pictures online, completing them with Dug’s now-famous words.

While many owners did come forth saying how much they disliked forcing their dog to deal with the discomfort of wearing the cone, (as well as preventing their inability to do completely normal and natural things like scratching their ears with their back legs), other humans and dogs took the endeavor in stride (okay, it was mostly the humans but still). Many decided to decorate their dog’s cone with everything from stickers to decorative paper, turning their sad dogs into flowers, movie characters, and martinis.

Others took a different road completely, doing their best to make their dog as happy and comfortable with their inevitable new accessory as possible by filling the cone with stuffed animals and other toys, spawning one of the most adorable and hilarious memes in recent memory: the cone of happiness, which shows a post-op Retriever blissfully smiling through a sea of toys that their owner placed around their head.

Since the growing awareness of the cone of shame has been maximized by the accessibility of the Internet, numerous companies have come out with alternative products that are much less restricting and much more comfortable, again proving that despite the ridiculousness that circulates online, awareness, humor, and inspiration can come from some pretty odd places (much like the social commentary of the Coneheads movie itself).

Coneheads Inspired Dog Name Considerations

The best part about a Coneheads-themed dog name is that almost no matter what name you choose, it will certainly stand out, as very few proper names or terms are a recognizable part of the English language. You’ll likely be left explaining the reasoning and meaning behind it, which is all the more reason why you should find something that’s more than just a funny word or name. Start by considering your dog’s most obvious or idiosyncratic traits, then using that as a basis for choosing a name.

For instance, if your dog is particularly fond of napping, especially on the bed, then Guz (bed) and Slar (sleep) would be suitable. If they happen to always be in your personal space, whether you want them there or not, then Flairdep (an uninvited cone fondler) would be a perfect choice. If they happen to be a bit cowardly or easily scared, then Lorbsleb (retreat) would be a good pick the same way an easy-going or merciful dog would be well-suited with Mertex.

Of course, you can always select the names of characters as well if they happen to share some commonalities or you can dig into the quotes list and pick something apt that is referenced within context. Don’t feel limited by what’s in front of you here, as your creativity or research might take you out of this world. But as they say, as long as the cone fits…
