Adulting: a relentless cycle of meetings, mind-boggling feelings, and midnight meltdowns. If you’re feeling a little too much (and we know you are — hello, anxiety panda 🐼), your plushie might just be the best listener you’ve got. Research even backs it: therapists call stuffed animals “transitional objects” that help adults bridge the gap between solitude and connection. Even Oprah knows the score — a study found about 43% of adults have a special stuffed friend stashed on their bed, using these fuzzy sidekicks for secret comfort.
Enter our most-trusted naming guide for your emotional Support plushie. Because calling your plush “Fluffy” just doesn’t cut it when they’ve saved you from literally crying at a car commercial. We’re talkin’ warm fuzzies with a side of sass here. Your cat plushie's name should be as comforting as its hugs. Ready to name that cuddle buddy? Let’s dive into 30 adorable, quirky names (with backstories) that just make sense — whether it’s a dinosaur in mourning or a capybara who’s seen some shit. (Yes, grown-ups can swear.)
