Introduction
Over the years, television shows have grown steadily in popularity, partly because of the age of online streaming services. A relatively new show that has gained favorable reviews and acclaim is the urban fantasy comedy-drama series entitled Lucifer. Premiering on January 25th, 2016 on the Fox Network, the show is based on the comic book series called The Sandman. The show’s titular role is based on the DC comics character named Lucifer Morningstar, which was created by author Neil Gaiman. The plot of the show revolves around the devil named Lucifer, who rules the kingdom of Hell. No longer happy with his life in Hell, he decides to give up his reign and lives in Los Angeles to run his own nightclub.
Lucifer Dog Names in Pop Culture
The show Lucifer is a reimagining of the story of the fallen angel turned ruler of hell. In the show, Lucifer abandons his original life in hell and decides to live as a civilian. He ends up owning a night club and eventually works as a consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department, using his special “powers” to catch criminals. A well-known canine in pop culture with a name from the show is Lucifer, a dog who lives in Kansas.
Even though the name “Lucifer” has a negative connotation attached to it, largely because of how he is depicted in religious texts and other works, the real-life dog named Lucifer is anything but a devil. In fact, on one fateful Wednesday, he became the guardian angel of his owner. Lucifer is owned by a man named Larry Moore, from Wichita, Kansas, where he lives with a dog sibling named Angel. Nicknamed Lucy, the 15-year-old dog gained national prominence after he was featured in the news for saving his owner’s life.
Moore’s home in Kansas caught fire during the wee hours of Wednesday. According to news outlets, Moore shares that he was sleeping on his couch when his dog Lucy wore him up at about 2:15 AM. He shares that Lucy kept jumping on his lap over and over again until he finally woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and realized that a significantly-sized fire has already started in his home. Thanks to Lucy’s survival instinct and intelligence, Moore was able to safely leave the burning home with his two dogs. However, he decided to return to his house at least twice to try and save some of his things. Hence, Moore needed to undergo treatment for smoke inhalation, according to Jermy Unruh, the chief of the Fire Battalion. It was ruled out that the fire was caused by “multiple improper extension cords”.
Lucifer’s role in saving his owner became the focal point of the news and the dog was praised for the heroic act. Clarissa Swenson, Moore’s long-time neighbor, described Lucifer as an “old mutt” that has been with Moore and his late wife for several years. Swenson believes that Moore is extremely lucky to have Lucy to wake him up from his deep slumber. Because the smoke detectors were not working, Moore was indeed fortunate that he had Lucy in his home. He believes that Lucifer was his angel and that he wouldn’t be alive it were not for his beloved pooch.Lucifer Dog Name Considerations
Even though it is a fairly new show, Lucifer has garnered some positive acclaim from both critics and audiences. While it was initially canceled after three seasons by Fox, much to the dismay of fans, popular online streaming service Netflix decided to pick it up and air a fourth season. This move helped introduce the show to a much bigger audience. At present, Lucifer has a significant following from both TV viewers and Netflix subscribers.
If you would like your dog to have a name based on Lucifer, you can draw inspiration from the many references in the show. In four seasons, the series has introduced plenty of characters, both minor and major, who left some sort of impact on the show and affected its storyline. Some of the primary characters include Lucifer Morningstar, Chloe Decker, Dan Espinoza and Mazikeen, all of which would make good names for your pooch. One other option would be to name your pooch after the actors or actresses who play the show’s characters. Tom Ellis, the actor who plays Lucifer, has been universally praised for his portrayal of the titular character. If you have a female pooch, you can name her after Lauren German, the actress who plays the role of Chloe Decker.
