Pet Names means giving or using an agreed name during adult pet play. A name might refer to an animal role, be an affectionate nickname or be a name chosen just for that context. A distinct animal persona is optional. The person using the name and the person addressed both have a say in what feels right.
A chosen name can help mark the start of a scene or simply add an affectionate tone. Someone might enjoy "pup," a personal character name or another mutually agreed term. Others prefer their usual name even while playing a pet role.
Names can be scene-only or used in other specifically agreed settings. A partner title, such as "Handler," is a related but separate preference covered by Titles and Honorifics.
This is role-play among consenting adults. Agree on language, touch, activities and limits before starting, and keep a clear way to pause or stop. Anyone can speak normally or leave character at any time. Actual animals are never participants. Agree on exact names, pronunciation, settings and who may use them. Avoid surprising someone with a pet name in public, around other people or in messages others may see. A name can be withdrawn or changed at any time.
