Introduction
The Originals is a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries and a super popular TV show that gathered quite a large following. The show follows the story of Klaus Mikaelson, a former antagonist of The Vampire Diaries, a vampire-werewolf hybrid in New Orleans. His brother Elijah and sister Rebekah are by his side, as they are trying to rise in the supernatural politics scene of the city. They are the first vampires to ever exist in this world, and that is why they are called the Originals. The Originals featured a plethora of interesting characters, one of which will serve as inspiration for the name of your new lovely pupper!
The Originals Inspired Dog Names in Pop Culture
By this point, we all know that the traditional celebrities do not have the appeal that they did before and that everything revolves around the digital celebrity – the influencer. Influencers are the ones who can persuade their audiences to purchase a product, try a service, or simply to rock a new trend they set. However, some of those influencers are not the talkative type, some of them have four legs instead of two, and adorable furry faces instead of dolled-up makeup looks. Some of the most influential digital celebrities are dogs!
One of such doggos is the adorable Marcel Le Corgi. This posh doggo is one of the most famous Corgis in the UK, perhaps only second to the Queen’s Corgis. His French owners made sure to raise Marcel to be an elegant and stylish pupper, one who can bring a smile to millions of faces, and set trends when it comes to pet care. Marcel and his human parents live in South London, an area surrounded by parks and landmarks which serve as a fabulous background for his photos. This lovely family regularly goes to art exhibitions, posh cafes, pubs, and other places around the town, and the little pupper is turning heads wherever he goes!
Marcel is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi with longer hair than usual, which makes him unwanted in dog shows. Therefore, his humans decided to make Marcel’s doggo show on Instagram, where he gathered over 98 thousand followers, as well as Facebook, Twitter, and even YouTube, and his blog! Marcel’s blog was featured as one of the Top 10 UK Pet Blogs in Vuelio, and his parents Aurélie the momager and photographer, and Pierre the chef could not be prouder! They say that Marcel is super friendly, very patient, a true model, and a clever doggo who has a lot of tricks up his sleeve! He is also a volunteer therapy dog for Therapaws, and together with his buddy Leo Marcel co-founded the UK Corgi Club. Now that’s an impressive resume for such a tiny doggo!
Even though he is business-savvy, Marcel is still a doggo. He loves cuddles, loves to sleep, his love for the outdoors is unmatched, and he enjoys playing with his many toys. Most of all, just like any doggo out there, he gets super excited when he sees delicious food! Being so popular, Marcel is regularly invited to posh parties and events around London, but sometimes he decides to stay in, cuddle with his humans, and just enjoy life with no stress.
The Originals Inspired Dog Name Considerations
We know, finding that perfect name for your doggo is not an easy task. What if the name is too complicated or too simple? What if it does not fit your pup’s looks and personality? What if it is too common or what if you just cannot get inspired to name them? Luckily, you can always choose the name of one of the characters in your favorite show and connect something you like with someone you adore. When it comes to The Originals, you already know that the show features plenty of characters to choose from, so whether your doggo is a boy or a girl, your options are plentiful!
You can start with the obvious one and name your pupper Niklaus, after Niklaus Mikaelson, also known as Klaus, the original vampire/werewolf hybrid and the main protagonist of the show. Or perhaps you can choose the name, Elijah, after Klaus’ brother, also an original vampire, or Rebekah, after their beautiful blonde sister whose name is perfect for a blonde doggo. Since the Mikaelson family is huge, you can always opt for the names of other family members such as Mikael, the patriarch, Kol, the prodigal son, Finn, Esther, or even Hope, Klaus’ daughter and a powerful supernatural being.
