    Haha that’s a perfect name for it! And yes, I name all my plants. My boyfriend thinks I’m weird for it, but I’m just like, Hey they’re living beings too!

  2. Yeah I name mine. It’s not even on purpose, names just happen.

  3. Scared_Excuse_4060

    Mine is named rattlesnake Jake from rango

    All my plants have names

  4. Not all of them. I do have Aunt Judy.
    She’s a snake plant that I inherited from said aunt. I would post a photo but this app isn’t going for it. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😹
    I will name them after who gives them to me.

    I name all my plants! It makes it that much sadder when I kill them through my poor houseplant skills, though. RIP Tessie, Ophelia, Beatrice, Pippa, and Remy. But Phyllis is going strong…somehow…?

  6. Yes…for some reason I have named them all Lucy

  7. Shaibutter

    I name mine to make it a little easier to remember what sort of plant it is. I have Betty the begonia, snake plant is named after my mother I law, charlotte the spider plant

  8. moistcookieangel

    I name them also, this is a post for r/NSFWeirdos

    I don’t name them but talk to them to tell them how beautiful they are. 🤩

  10. roriefranklin

    I have 22 plants . Some have names. I just talk and say baby 👶. Lol

  11. Jackattack111888

    My favorite name for a plant was Mr. Yucca (my mom’s) but I think she donated it to the church bazaar when they moved

  12. Super-Tax-4305

    No but I name birds that have quirks (so I can tell them apart) right around my work there a grackle with one leg. Hes Legolas. And a “great tailed grackle” with no tail. He’s Dedmen, cuz Dedmen tail no tails.

  13. dig_bick372

    My cactus is named spike, one of my snake plants is named herb, my succulent is Pearl and my philodendron goes by “phil”

  14. Capable-Presence-268

    That’s a beautiful plant! I only name the special ones. I barely remember to water most of them never mind remember their names. My peperomia is called “the plant that’s lived the longest” 😄

  15. jpasuncowboy

    I name all my plants! And I love that you named him Donnie!

  16. Own-Tadpole-734

    Then im definitely a weirdo with u 💯, proud of it

  17. HibiscusGrower

    I used to, when I had like 2 plants. But now I have so many, I gave up.

  18. I personally don’t but my assistant (my niece) names all of them
    I have Pepper-anne, Willow, and Rhiannon

  19. My husband and I have picked out names for our plants and I use their names when watering them or saying hello for the day

  20. Arkhus9753

    Some but not all. The names just arrive organically, no pun intended.

    I name mine. They’re my plants babies after all. One of them is named Sean Paul because it was light deprived. 😂 My boyfriend thought of that one. He said it’s singing “just gimme the light”
    I had a pothos given to me with a small plastic Gary figurine from SpongeBob. My goddaughter said that Gary must remain there and so he does. So I just named the plant Gary and meow at it occasionally.
    I named a pothos cutting Peni Parker because it was a badass with a mission to survive my winter depression/neglect in a jar of old water. When I felt better I planted her and she was huge for just a cutting.
    I bought a philodendron Brazil and all I can think of is that Bob’s Burgers episode where they have a Brazilian martial arts instructor named Jairo doing his things yelling out “Brazil”…so I named my plant Jairo. It’s kicking ass, Brazil!! 😂
    I have a pan am plant I named Pam…so original. 🙄
    I have a golden pothos that to me is just stunning, I had to leave the store with it, every single leave had a variegation and when I got it home I couldn’t help but be entranced by it’s beauty. It compelled me so I called it my queen Cleopatra.
    I have 2 tiny snake plants together in a pot that have stunted growth but just keep staying alive so I named one B and the other G because like the bee gees they like to keep “staying alive, staying alive”
    I have a vinca vine name Vinny and tradescantia zebrina named Mona Lisa. I bought them together and you can tell I had recently watched “My Cousin Vinny” from these names 😂
    Recently Penni and Gary got cut and with the new life it created I named it Perry.

  22. motherofhellhusks

    I do! My personal favorite name is Sir Frondsworth the Fern of Boston.

    My usual response: “I’m not just a weirdo, I’m much, much more.”

  24. Anxious-Tomatillo-74

    naming plants is as old as the world, man, no need to feel Martian about it. Why Donnie, though?

  25. obshchezhitiye

    All of my plants are named after Adventure Time characters.

    My rattlesnake plant is named after the ice king, because they’re both big drama queens.

  26. Green_Summer_611

    It’s a calathea? What kind?? It’s so beautiful!

  27. noneofyourbeeskneez

    Name. Talk to them. Play music 🥲

  31. aDorybleFish

    I used to, but I have too many propagations now and I can’t call them all Hansie junior

  32. SoggyCapybara

    Edit. My dumb ass didn’t look at the 2nd pic before I commented.. 🤣🤣 I knew I was missing a Donnie. I just forgot about the wild Thornberries for a sec 😅😅

    I name every single one.

    Just said good by to Valarie my Albuca Spiralis this morning 🥲

    I personally don’t see the obvious reason why you named it Donnie 🤣 I thought of a few different things. (What a catch, Donnie – Fall Out Boy & Donnie the Grass Ogre from Adventure time) somehow I don’t think either of these are your inspiration 🤔 🤣

  33. ChangeTheRoadYoureOn

    I haven’t named them (yet)lol, but I do babytalk to them lol.

  34. Commercial_Still4107

    LOL I just got a ponytail palm who was instantly christened Larry because his trunk reminded me of Larry the Cucumber. 🤣 All my plants have names, though most of the time I have to get to know them a little first.

  35. French_Breakfast_200

    Yeah mine is called Dr. Doonothing because that’s what it’s done in the year+ that I’ve had it
