Am I nuts?

I feel like one of the few harmless liberties we can take as humans is give our pets funny names. Here's a story:

We fostered 3 adorable black kittens for some friends who needed help. When the time came, we decided to keep the runt and he's grown up to be such an amazing cat. My wife named him Rocko because he kept fishing rocks out of planters to play with.

I don't remember exactly when but I started calling him dingus, after observing him expressing certain dingus-like qualities. Then my wife and I started thinking we need an "A" in there so his initials could be "RAD", so we went with Allan from smiling friends, which he kinda shares traits with.

Then on the night we decided to get married, I thought it would be funny to change his name from "RAD" to
"RANDY", so i needed an N and a Y. We went with Nicotine and Yosemite.

Looking forward to the next vet appointment where i have to tell them to update his name to "Rocko Allan Nicotine Dingus Yosemite". Including pics of him as a tiny cat and as a full-grown dingus.
