Thinking of naming one dog Olive, what might pair well? Looking for Milo and Otis vibes.

You could call it marty!

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

That's just really funny to me to make a diminutive out of a diminutive. Martini already means Marty. Both Martinez and Martin, which they are respectfully diminutives of come from the Latin Martinus for a child dedicated to the god Mars.

Martini.

I was going to say Yiu, as in "Olive you" (I love you), but "you" comes up way to much in regular language, would confuse the poor dog.

Martini. Marti for short, which has the benefit of being ungendered.

You could do Olive and Ollie for that sweet alliteration.

Alternatively, Olive and Chives is pretty good too.

Always known as Ham and Olive.
